Black Torch Anime Revival Confirmed After 8 Years, Manga Creator Returns to Shonen Jump With New Series

Black Torch, a forgotten Shonen Jump manga by Tsuyoshi Takaki, is receiving an anime revival approximately eight years after its cancellation, with a new trailer released by Viz Media offering the first full look at the project. The revival also highlights what sources describe as a major publishing blunder by Shueisha surrounding the original series. Separately, the same creator is returning to the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump with a brand-new series two years after a previous failed effort, with a first-look image now revealed.
