Along with the debut of BETTEN Court and Hideyuki Furuhashi's spin-off, Vigilante - My Hero Academia Illegals, the August 20th release of the second issue of magazine Jump Giga is set to feature a nine-page Yoshihiro Togashi X Masashi Kishimoto talk between the creators of Hunter x Hunter and Naruto. An early look at this has revealed that Kishimoto will be offering an update on the plans for his next manga.
From YonkouProductions' translation:
Interviewer: For Kishimoto-sensei, do you have any plans for you next work? And Togashi-sensei, do you have any plans for something outside of Hunter x Hunter?
Kishimoto: “I’m currently working on my next work. I want to focus on it entirely, so I’ve already started working on it. I’m currently out collecting material for it, among other things.”
Interviewer: “You two, you said those amazing things so forthright…”
Kishimoto: “I cannot say anything else.”
Togashi: “See, it’s a really hard thing. To not be able to say anything!”
Kishimoto: “And moreover, I’ve kept it a secret from my editor too, so this is the first time I’ve talked about it… I don’t want any information to leak out, so I go off-site and discuss only with my first editor, Yahagi.”
Interviewer: “Will there be an announcement in the coming year?”
Kishimoto: “Ahh, I think so. Somewhere around there.”
Interviewer: “Ohhhh!”
Kishimoto: “But I don’t know. (haha). It’s still undecided.
Shonen Jump Giga is a revamped version of what was Jump NEXT (and before that Akamaru Jump), a magazine collecting spin-off and special works by the mainstay Jump creators, along with stories by fresh creators.
Last summer, Kishimoto expressed interest in doing a sci-fi in the digital Shonen Jump Plus, which offers more freedom with page counts and publication dates than the print version.
At the time, he said “I’ve already decided what I’m doing for my next work."
"While I was still doingNaruto, I thought about various things for material, and for the next one, I’m thinking I’m going to do science-fiction.”
“It hasn’t all been worked out, and I haven’t showed my editor yet, but I’ve already designed the characters.”
“Since Naruto was a bigger hit than I could ever imagine,” Kishimoto said, “I’d like to aim for the next hit. I don’t know when I can announce the next manga, but because I plan on challenging myself to surpass Naruto, please wait for it.”
Kishimoto also recently drew a Kochikame crossover for a Jump tribute, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the long-running police comedy.
