Hajime Isayama & Yuki Kaji Team Up For A New Manga Project
Hajime Isayama’s groundbreaking manga series, Attack on Titan ended its 12-year-long serialization in 2021. Now, three years after the end of the manga, the globally acclaimed manga artist is collaborating with the voice actor of Eren Yeager, Yuki Kaji, on a new project.
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the star voice actor in the industry, Kodansha has announced a new project titled “Soyogi Fractal”. Inspired by Kaji’s singing avatar, Soyogi Soyogi, the upcoming spinoff manga will be written by the voice actor himself with Isayama overseeing the story and draft of the manga.
Isayama had previously made it clear that he would not be working on any new series after the conclusion of Attack on Titan. However, after being personally requested by Yuki Kaji to join his new project, the author agreed to be part of it. But, Isayama will not be illustrating the upcoming spin-off manga.
As per reports, the search for an artist to work on this project is currently underway, and an audition for the same is being held on the official website. Interested artists can submit their interpretation of the final act based on Isayama’s storyboards available on the Soyogi Fractal website until April 30.
Soyogi Fractal is set to make its debut this summer in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine and Bessatsu Shonen Magazine. The project is currently designed to be a one-shot story, which will delve into the AI origin of Yuki Kaji’s character (Soyogi) and the concerns surrounding the controversial software.
