The combined fourth and fifth 2018 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine announced on Monday that Kawada's Hinomaru Zumō manga will have a "super important announcement" in the next issue on January 4.
Shonen Jump describes the manga's story:
It is a divine ritual, a martial art, a combat sport—it's sumo!!A "small" new student, Ushio Hinomaru!, appears before the weak little sumo club of Oodachi High School! The words "big" and "heavy" are the rules to this sport, which does not fit this newbie any inch, but this guy goes and does what...!?
Ushio and the small sumo club climbs its way to the top!
The goal is *Hinoshita Kaisan!
A fired up high school sumo tale—no retakes allowed!!
*Hinoshita Kaisan - A title for the highest rank in professional sumo, equivalent of Yokozuna.
Kawada launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in May 2014. The 18th volume will ship on January 4.
