Kagurabachi is making waves as one of the hottest new titles in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. It’s hit a new sales milestone and to celebrate, they’re rolling out some pretty cool posters that showcase the series in a fresh way. Takeru Hokazono’s Kagurabachi burst onto the scene in Weekly Shonen Jump just over a year ago, and it was already buzzing even before its full debut. Since then, with each volume release, it’s been gaining more and more traction.
As Kagurabachi gears up to launch Volume 7 in Japan, it’s already sold 2.2 million copies. That’s pretty impressive for a series with less than ten volumes out, not even counting international sales. Shueisha is just as excited—they’ve unveiled a fantastic lineup of new posters set to take over Shibuya, celebrating this huge win for the series. Take a sneak peek at one of these posters as highlighted by Comic Natalie:

What’s Happening in Kagurabachi?
The latest chapters of Kagurabachi are action-packed, with three Enchanted Blade wielders going head-to-head. The series has been building up to this as Chihiro, on the hunt for other wielders to protect them, faced betrayal from someone he trusted. Now, everything’s spiraled into chaos with three swordsmen unleashing their full powers.
This is only the third or fourth arc, depending on how you count the intro, in Hokazono’s series—so it’s really just getting warmed up. Given that some Shonen Jump series don’t even survive their first year or get to explore deeper stories before getting axed, Kagurabachi seems to have a bright future. It’s all about keeping that momentum going, and the support from Shueisha sure helps.

Why Is Kagurabachi So Popular Anyway?
Kagurabachi grabbed fans’ attention even before its first chapter dropped. It was quickly a giant success, almost meme-like as fans speculated on what an anime might look like from just that one chapter. It started out with an edgy vibe, which, mixed with fan excitement, turned it into a lightning-in-a-bottle success.
But as the series unfolded, fans started really appreciating what Kagurabachi was doing. Hokazono has drawn inspiration from Hollywood, like the John Wick series, which shines through in the artwork. With intense battles and unpredictable plot twists where no character is safe, fans can’t wait for each new chapter. If it ever becomes an anime, it’s going to be huge.
