A new, official continuation of the manga Crows and WORST by Hiroshi Takahashi will start in January 2026. The series will appear in the third issue of the Young Champion magazine from January 13, 2026 by the publisher Akita Shoten.

It is the first main series by the author and artist for this franchise since the conclusion of WORST in 2013, which corresponds to a hiatus of about 13 years. The announcement of the new series was made in the current issue of the Young Champion magazine from November 25.

A specially set up dedicated website and a teaser video have also been released. The teaser material hints that the plot, similar to Crows and WORST, will be set at the Suzuran Boys' High School.

The series will also be available on the digital platforms Yanchan Web and Champion Cross from January 13.

The original series Crows was published from 1990 to 1998 in the Monthly Shōnen Champion and is about teenagers. The franchise, which also includes the sequel WORST and spin-offs, has achieved immense popularity with over 90 million tankōbon volumes sold and has been adapted into live-action films and stage plays.
