Ken Wakui, known for works such as "Shinjuku Swan" and "Tokyo Revengers", has started a new series titled "Astro's Wish" in the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, released on April 15, 2024, by Shueisha. The manga is set in Asakusa, Tokyo, and follows Hibaru Yotsurugi, the son of a yakuza boss. The story begins with the death of his father Kongou, who had adopted many children, and they now speculate about who will succeed him. Although he is the only biological son, Hibaru renounces the succession to uphold the yakuza's code of honor and instead suggests one of his adoptive brothers, Terras, as the new leader.
The launch issue not only includes "Astro's Wish" but also concludes Itsumo Eruku's "Two on Ice", a manga about pair skating, which will be compiled in volumes three and four with additional new pages and available from June 4. This spring, Weekly Shonen Jump launched three new series, starting with "Astro's Wish", followed by "Far East Necromance" by Aya Namihashi, set to release on April 22, and "Cycle Weather" by Kobayashi Omusuke, scheduled for May 13.
