Mikito Chinen has launched a new sci-fi manga series while his current medical mystery manga adaptation is ending after three volumes.
Mikito Chinen, the creator behind the Ameku M.D. franchise, has two manga projects moving in opposite directions. In June 2026, he launched a new series titled Prometheus Taisen on Kadokawa's ComicWalker platform. The sci-fi action manga is drawn by Kiyo Hasui and follows orphan Jun Amamiya, who merges with biocomputer cells to fight monsters called insects in a post-calamity 2045. The series uses a guardian named Prometheus to protect Earth.
One month earlier, in May 2026, it was announced that Chinen's other ongoing manga, The Killer Angel Within: Ameku Takao's Detective Karte, will end with its third compiled volume. The manga, which Chinen writes with artist Eri Takenashi, launched in Kodansha's Good! Afternoon magazine in September 2024. The final volume is scheduled to ship on July 7, 2026. The short three-volume run contrasts with the ongoing anime and live-action adaptations of the Ameku M.D. franchise.
