Boichi

The Marshal King, Boichi's western manga, ends on October 16 with its 34th chapter. A new Rokudenashi Blues spinoff, Rokudenashi Blues Gaiden: Onikazura, is delayed to winter and will be drawn by Yuki Yoshimoto instead of Boichi.

Synthesized from 8 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 16

Boichi's two current threads are an ending and a replacement. The Marshal King, his western manga in Shueisha's Shonen Jump+, announced in its 33rd chapter that it ends in the next chapter on October 16. The series launched in February 2025, went on hiatus in December, and resumed on September 4 with chapter 28. Shueisha published the third volume in Japan in November 2025, and Viz Media and MANGA Plus release it in English.

Meanwhile, the artist attached to the Rokudenashi Blues spinoff has changed. Shueisha's Grand Jump announced on August 19 that Rokudenashi Blues Gaiden: Onikazura is delayed from summer to winter and will now feature art by Yuki Yoshimoto. Boichi was originally announced as the artist. The manga is set in the early 1990s and centers on Onizuka and Kasai, two of the story's four heavenly kings.

On the Dr. Stone side, the anime adaptation of the manga by Riichiro Inagaki and Boichi concluded on June 25, 2026 after seven years and 95 episodes. The finale aired as part of the fourth and final season, Dr. Stone SCIENCE FUTURE, which ran in three split cours from January 2025 to June 2026. Boichi and Inagaki released illustrations and comments thanking fans. A large-scale animation exhibition commemorating the series' conclusion opens in Tokyo in December. The anime is available on Crunchyroll and Netflix.

Across these stories, the coverage moves from Boichi's ongoing serialization to a project he left and to the end of a long-running adaptation. The Marshal King was interrupted and then ended; the Rokudenashi Blues spinoff moved to another artist; Dr. Stone reached its final chapter on screen.
