TNSK, the acclaimed creator behind the recently concluded My Master Has No Tail, is set to launch a new manga series titled Torimatorimasu. The highly anticipated work will debut on August 7 in Kodansha’s Good! Afternoon magazine.
A New Mystery Unfurls in Torimatorimasu
Torimatorimasu promises a departure into a world of mystery and suspense, centering on a character named Jun. The story follows Jun as she relocates with her father, a doctor, to a clinic nestled deep within the mountains. What begins as an anticipation of a serene summer soon takes a frightening turn. Jun becomes privy to unsettling rumors surrounding the clinic and stumbles upon a mysterious, aged videotape, setting the stage for an intriguing narrative.
The premise suggests a blend of atmospheric storytelling with elements of the unknown, inviting readers to unravel the secrets alongside the protagonist. The choice of a remote, mountainous setting and the discovery of an enigmatic videotape hints at a narrative rich with suspense and potential supernatural undertones.
TNSK’s Established Legacy with My Master Has No Tail
The launch of Torimatorimasu follows the successful conclusion of TNSK’s previous series, My Master Has No Tail (Uchi no Shishō wa Shippo ga Nai). This popular manga was serialized in the same Good! Afternoon magazine, beginning in January 2019 and wrapping up its run in January 2024. Kodansha published the twelfth and final volume of My Master Has No Tail in February 2024, with Kodansha USA Publishing releasing the digital English version, concluding in September 2024.
My Master Has No Tail captivated audiences with its unique blend of fantasy and traditional Japanese performing arts, specifically Rakugo. The series garnered enough popularity to inspire an anime adaptation, which aired in 2022 and was streamed by HIDIVE. The success of this previous work sets a high bar for Torimatorimasu, with fans eager to see TNSK’s next creative direction.
The announcement of Torimatorimasu underscores TNSK’s continued presence in the manga landscape and their ability to craft compelling narratives across different genres. Readers can look forward to diving into Jun’s mysterious journey when the manga officially begins serialization.
