posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The 2,580th issue of Nihonbungeisha's Weekly Manga Goraku magazine revealed last Friday that Gō Nagai will end his Gekiman! Cutie Honey-hen manga in its next chapter on September 29.
The autobiographical manga reveals the production of Nagai's Cutie Honey franchise, going into particular detail about the intended simultaneous launch of the anime on TV Asahi and the manga in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine in 1973. The manga also details the difficulties of launching the serialized manga.
Nagai launched the manga in Weekly Manga Goraku in July 2016. Nihonbungeisha published the manga's second compiled book volume on July 10.
Nagai's Gekiman! manga ran in the magazine from 2010 to 2012, and Nihonbungeisha published six compiled book volumes. The story focuses on the Devilman action horror manga's creation and the events in Nagai's life at that time. Nagai launched the Gekiman! Mazinger Z-hen (Gekiman!: Mazinger Z Chapter) manga, which provides a similarly autobiographical account of the creation of the Mazinger Z manga, in the same magazine in July 2014, and ended it in July 2016 with five volumes.
