A New Series from the Creator of Boy's Abyss: Mountain Thriller Yamageki is Coming!
Ryo Minenami, the name behind the Boy's Abyss (Shounen no Abyss) series, is returning with a new project that will excite fans. The new manga series, titled Yamageki (Mountain Theater), will meet readers with its first chapter in the 18th issue of Shueisha's prestigious magazine Weekly Young Jump on April 2, 2026. Known for the melancholic and immersive narrative in his previous works, the author invites readers to the wild and mysterious atmosphere of nature this time.
The new series Yamageki is described as a "mountain suspense" story. Although all the details of the plot have not been shared yet, considering Minenami's way of handling human psychology and the internal conflicts of characters, it is certain that a very tense and intriguing story awaits us. It is known that the author likes to drag his characters to the edge of the abyss—both literally and figuratively—so the mountain theme sets the perfect stage for his dark style.
Ryo Minenami made a name for himself especially with Boy's Abyss, which was published between 2020 and 2024 and made a huge impact worldwide. The author, who masterfully handled heavy themes such as hopelessness, family trauma, and social pressure, also inspired a live-action adaptation with this series. Taking a break of about a year and a half after the finale of Boy's Abyss in July 2024, the artist returns to the pages of Weekly Young Jump with this new beginning.
Weekly Young Jump maintains its power in the seinen manga world by hosting giant productions such as Oshi no Ko and Kingdom in recent years. The fact that Yamageki will also be on this platform raises expectations for the series to the highest level. If you also like stories with psychological depth that surprise you in every chapter, you should definitely add this new adventure starting in April to your list. Let's see which edges of the abyss Minenami will take us to this time?
