The 46th 2019 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump revealed on Thursday that Jun Mayuzuki will create a new manga series titled Kowloon Generic Romance (pictured). It will begin serialization in the 49th issue of the magazine on November 7.
Mayuzuki's previous series, Koi wa Ameagari no You ni (After the Rain), launched in Shogakukan's monthly Gekkan! Spirits magazine in June 2014. It transferred to Big Comic Spirits magazine—switching to weekly releases—in 2016, and ended in March this year with 82 chapters compiled into ten volumes.
A 12-episode anime adaptation from Wit Studio broadcast in Japan starting in January 2018 and streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime worldwide. The manga also received a live-action adaptation that premiered in May 2018.
Also revealed in the same issue was a new manga by Nene Yukimori, who has penned Ningen ni Koi shita Oni wa Warau in Comic Ruelle web magazine since August 2016. Yukimori's new work, titled Kubo-san wa Boku wo Yurusanai, won the popular vote in Young Jump's Shinman GP 2019 Season 5 manga contest and will be serialized beginning October 24.
