Uzono Shiniko Hōkoku Manga Ends in 4th Volume
posted on by Anita Tai
Kadokawa is listing the fourth volume of Gonbe Shinkawa's Uzono Shiniko Hōkoku (Uzono Shiniko Report) manga as the final volume for the series. The volume will ship on January 7.
The manga is about the informal investigation carried out by the Japanese government, the military, investigative agencies, and ordinary citizens since 1892, about the strange phenomena called "Uzono Shiniko." It is said that if a human, animal, or any inanimate object's name is changed to "Uzono Shiniko," it suddenly attracts disaster.
Shinkawa launched the series on Kadokawa's ComicWalker manga website in December 2024. The manga is an adaptation of Bunkichi Majima's novel of the same title. Asahiro Kakashi is credited for the manga's storyboard composition.
Dai Chikamoto and Shinkawa launched the The Witch and the Knight Will Survive (Majo to Kishi wa Ikinokoru) manga on Kadokawa's Young Ace Up website in June 2021. The manga ended in its third compiled book volume, which shipped in Japan in October 2023. Yen Press published the manga's final volume in English in October 2024.
Yen Press is also releasing Shinkawa and Shien Bis' The Wolf Never Sleeps manga and Shinkawa and Yuba Isukari's Yokohama Station SF manga in English.
