Tokitokoro is an active manga artist with two announced projects: the comic Lynx, written by Samuel Sattin and published by Viz Media, and the manga Spider-Man of Shibuya, part of Marvel's partnership with Kadokawa. Both projects are set to launch in 2026.
Tokitokoro is a Japanese artist whose work is currently defined by two projects announced in the summer of 2026. The first is Lynx, a comic written by American writer Samuel Sattin and published by Viz Media. Viz shared preview pages for the first volume, which publishes August 11. The story follows Lynx Takuma, a bio-enhanced detective in New Borealis, one of the last habitable cities after a worldwide climate disaster. She works with her partner Task and a talking cat named Skua while tracking a series of grisly murders, and at one point sees something that looks like an angel.
The second project is Spider-Man of Shibuya, part of Marvel Comics' partnership with Kadokawa for original manga volumes. Marvel announced the collaboration on July 27, 2026, and serialization for the project begins before the end of the year. The partnership follows the end of Marvel's contracts with Shueisha and Sho-Pro Books, and Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski moves to oversee Asia Originals. The two projects show tokitokoro working across both Western and Japanese publishing structures, with Lynx coming from Viz Media and Spider-Man of Shibuya from the Marvel-Kadokawa deal.
