The Bugle Call: Song of War Manga Changes Magazines: A Major Announcement Is Coming!
An exciting development has occurred in the world of manga! The popular dark fantasy series The Bugle Call: Song of War (known in Japanese as Sensō Kyōshitsu), written by Mozuku Sora and illustrated by Higoro Toumori, is leaving its main publication magazine Jump SQ. and moving to its sister magazine Jump SQ. Rise. According to the official statement from Shueisha, the next chapter of the series will meet readers in the Summer issue to be published in July.
This transfer is not just a change in publication venue; it also brings a big surprise. In the announcement made in the magazine's May issue, it was stated that a "very important announcement" regarding the series would be made alongside the new chapter in July. There is already great curiosity among fans as to whether this announcement is an anime adaptation or a schedule for the series' finale. Especially following the news that the series entered its "final battle" in September 2025, this move is seen as preparation for the epic conclusion of the story.
Starting its journey in June 2022, The Bugle Call: Song of War tells the story of a young man named Luca who can "see" sounds by playing a bugle in the middle of war and commands armies with this ability. Revolving around individuals with special abilities known as "Branch-hexed" and massive towers (Spires) with ancient technology, the fiction has quickly reached a wide audience with its dark and strategic atmosphere reminiscent of works like Vinland Saga and Berserk. The series, which is also published in English by Viz Media, has a collection of 13 volumes so far.
The transition to Jump SQ. Rise magazine is a method often preferred to offer authors a more flexible work schedule and to increase the page count of chapters. This seasonal magazine, published every three months, has previously hosted giant series such as D.Gray-man and Blood Blockade Battlefront. For The Bugle Call, this change could allow the final arc to be handled in a much more detailed and magnificent way. It seems that the excited wait of the fans will continue until the big announcement in July.
