Twilight Blade Manga Added to Shonen Jump and Manga Plus

Twilight Blade has been released as a new supernatural action manga series on both Viz Media's Shonen Jump and Shueisha's Manga Plus platforms. The series met readers as of Wednesday and gained global reach through these two major digital manga platforms.

The creators of the manga, Chiyoko Maruume and Tokegoro, have previously worked on many short projects, but Twilight Blade marks their first long-running series. The story revolves around a swordsman fighting dark forces and combines supernatural elements with action-packed storytelling. In the early chapters, readers encounter striking fight scenes and character depth set in a mysterious world.

This addition is part of Shueisha's strategy to bring new series to a global audience. In recent years, Manga Plus and Shonen Jump have built a large fan base by simultaneously releasing Japanese manga in multiple languages, primarily English. Thanks to these platforms, Twilight Blade can be read simultaneously in Japan and abroad.

The series' promotional images and first chapters have received positive reactions, especially from fans of the supernatural action genre. The artistic storytelling demonstrated by the mangaka duo Maruume and Tokegoro in their previous works is also notable in this series. Readers have already started generating theories on social media after the first chapters.

If Twilight Blade gains popularity, it could pave the way for a physical print and even an anime adaptation in the future. For now, new chapters will be released weekly on Shonen Jump and Manga Plus. Those who want to follow the series can read the first few chapters for free on these two platforms.
