Shrine of the Morning Mist's Ugawa Ends Nekogoze Manga
posted on by Jennifer Sherman
Shonengahosha's Monthly Youngking Ours GH magazine announced on Monday that Hiroki Ugawa's Nekogoze (Feline Blind Woman) manga will end in the next issue on February 16.
Ugawa began the series in July 2014. Shonengahosha shipped the third compiled volume in July.
The manga takes place in a fictional 1950's Japan that is occupied by the Soviet Union. The story follows a blind shamisen player and a former female assassin. When the assassin is chased by members of her former group, a blood bath begins.
Ugawa's 2001 manga Asagiri no Miko (Priestesses of the Morning Mist or Shrine of the Morning Mist) was adapted into a 12-episode television anime in 2002 starring Rie Kanda, Sayaka Ōhara, Mayumi Asano, and Megumi Hayashibara. Tokyopop once published the manga in North America, and Media Blasters licensed the anime for North American home video release.
