New Action Manga from SERVAMP Creator Strike Tanaka: Odaroku Has Begun!

SERVAMP fans, gather round! The famous mangaka Strike Tanaka, who has captivated us for many years with the adventures of Mahiru and Kuro, has returned to the scene with a brand-new project. Tanaka's new manga, titled Odaroku, officially met readers on April 3rd in the May issue of Shueisha's popular magazine Jump Square (Jump SQ). The series made a grand start to the mangaka's new era by opening the magazine with its first chapter.

The new series is described as a "phantom thief" action drama centered around mysterious spirits called "Regalia." How Tanaka will blend his unique style and character dynamics with this new genre is already a subject of great curiosity. Adorning the magazine's cover with its first chapter and featuring color pages, Odaroku represents an important turning point in Tanaka's career; as the author is working under the Shueisha banner this time instead of Kadokawa, where he had been working for many years.

So, why is this news so important? Strike Tanaka gained a massive worldwide fanbase with the legendary SERVAMP series, which began in 2011 and concluded with its 24th volume in late 2024. Combining modern vampire mythology with action and comedy, SERVAMP also inspired an anime series in 2016 and a film in 2018. Tanaka's ability to handle deep bonds between characters signals that Odaroku will not just be a simple heist story, but an adventure with high emotional depth.

While the international publishing rights or the release date on digital platforms for the series are not yet clear, starting in a prestigious magazine like Jump Square shows that the series has a bright future. If you enjoy stylish designs, mysterious objects, and thrilling chases, Odaroku is definitely a production that should be on your radar. Let's see if this new thief duo can steal our hearts as quickly as SERVAMP did! We will continue to follow the developments!
