Good Smile Company announced that Chihiro Rokuhira from Takeru Hokazono’s Kagurabachi manga series is getting a new Nendoroid figure. The new Nendoroid figure comes many months after reports of a Kagurabachi anime adaptation by Cygames Pictures, surfaced late last year, but fans are still waiting for the anime to be officially confirmed.
Typically, Nendoroid figures are released for series that have already been adapted into an anime, so Kagurabachi is a rare exception. More details about the new figure will be revealed at a later date.
New chapters of Kagurabachi release on Sundays at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET. Fans may read new chapters at VIZ Media or Manga Plus in English as they release. The latest three chapters are available for free on the Manga Plus website, but all chapters are free on the Manga Plus app.
Kagurabachi entered serialization on September 19, 2023 in Weekly Shonen Jump, and the magazine continues to release new chapters every week in Japan. The first tankōbon volume released on February 2, 2024 in Japan, followed by the west on November 5, 2024.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the manga series, via Manga Plus:
Young Chihiro spends his days training under his famous swordsmith father. One day he hopes to become a great sword-maker himself. The goofy father and the serious son–they thought these days would last forever. But suddenly, tragedy strikes. A dark day soaked in blood. Chihiro and his blade now live only for revenge. Epic sword battle action!
