The Shikkoku no Harinezumi: Shadow the Hedgehog manga and new Sonic to Yuki no Tsurugi manga series by author Yūki Imada are being prepared for release outside Japan, according to the official CoroCoro Comic X (formerly Twitter) account. The Sonic to Yuki no Tsurugi manga just began its serialization in the latest issue of Monthly CoroCoro Comic, which released on June 13.
The announcement was made with a warning about the unauthorized posting of the new Sonic the Hedgehog manga. Monthly CoroCoro Comic’s editorial team has been made aware of screenshots and uploads of the Shadow the Hedgehog manga on X and YouTube, including full chapters.
Sonic fans may also dive into Sonic x Shadows Generations on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Final Weapon recently reviewed the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Sonic X Shadow Generations, noting its incredible visuals and performance on the new platform.

Request for Readers: Unauthorized Posting of Sonic to Yuki no Tsurugi
We are thrilled to hear that many of you are looking forward to the new Sonic to Yuki no Tsurugi manga series that is set to run in Monthly CoroCoro Comic. We hope you will look forward to future chapters of the series.
Sadly, we have been made aware of many cases where Yuki Imada’s previous series, Shikkoku no Harinezumi: Shadow the Hedgehog, was screenshotted and uploaded without permission on social media sites such as X or on YouTube. In the worst cases, entire chapters were uploaded.
Manga series can only continue with the support of many readers. Uploading screenshots of manga to social media or blogs without the permission of the copyright holder, even without malicious intent, is a violation of copyrights. If copyright violations continue, manga artists will no longer be able to create new manga.
Likewise, to protect Imada’s new series, Sonic to Yuki no Tsurugi, we request that readers do not upload images from the manga without permission from the copyright holder (beyond the cases of quoting permitted by copyright law). We also request that you do not repost or distribute links to malicious posts that violate copyrights. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
For our readers overseas, we are making every effort to prepare overseas editions of Imada’s previous series, Shikkoku no Harinezumi: Shadow the Hedgehog, and his new series, Sonic to Yuki no Tsurugi.
We will let you know when we have more information about these.
Please be aware that copyright violation is an offense that is in some cases subject to criminal penalties or fines for purposes such as damage compensation.
