Baki-Dou Manga Takes Short Break, Returns on July 16
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
New manga launched in October 2018
This year's 31st issue of Baki-Dou manga will take a two-issue hiatus, and will return in the magazine's 33rd issue on July 16.
The new Baki-Dou manga uses different characters for "Baki" in the title from the previous Baki-Dou manga, although it retains the name "Baki-Dou." In the new manga, Baki faces off against Japan's oldest and strongest "sumo god," and features the Japanese legendary sumo wrestler Nomi no Sukune. The wrestler supposedly had the first ever sumo match against Taima no Kehaya in 23 B.C.
The new manga launched in Weekly Shōnen Champion in October 2018. Akita Shoten will publish the manga's sixth compiled book volume on Wednesday.
Itagaki's original ended in April 2018 with 22 volumes.
