Kano Kashiwagi's New Manga Series 'Zureta Kaishaku no Bokura' Starts on July 8
Kano Kashiwagi — the manga artist known for the romantic comedy series "My Maid, Miss Kishi" (Kishi-chan wa Okota Shitai) — is launching a brand new manga on July 8, 2026: "Zureta Kaishaku no Bokura". This exciting announcement signals that Kashiwagi will offer readers a story with a different flavor.
The new series is a significant step in Kashiwagi's career, closely followed by France-based publisher Crunchyroll. Although the plot of "Zureta Kaishaku no Bokura" has not yet been fully revealed, it is speculated that the manga will focus on themes of "misunderstandings" and "lack of communication." The word "zureta" (slipped, wrong) in the title suggests that the series will deal with a group of people or a relationship dynamic that is misunderstood.
Previously, Kashiwagi gained a wide fanbase with "My Maid, Miss Kishi," which was serialized on Kodansha's Magazine Pocket app. The series centered on the comedic and warm relationship between a high school student and a mysterious housekeeper. The manga artist may be expecting readers who enjoyed the sincere dialogues and character interactions in that series to find similar humor and emotional depth in this new work.
The platform for the new series has not yet been determined; however, since Kashiwagi's previous works were typically published digitally and in print under Kodansha, it is expected that "Zureta Kaishaku no Bokura" will also come from the same publisher. According to the official announcement, the first chapter will be released on July 8, 2026, within the next week.
This is seen as a turning point in Kashiwagi's career. Although "My Maid, Miss Kishi" was a short three-volume series, it garnered interest both in Japan and internationally. Fans in the industry are eagerly anticipating the manga artist's new series, which may feature a longer narrative. Particularly for fans of romantic comedy and slice of life genres, this new series could be an unmissable start.
When the first chapter is released on July 8, a broader summary and fan reactions will become clear. Mark your calendars to see what Kashiwagi has in store for this new adventure!
