New manga centers on young rapper

This year's ninth issue of Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine revealed on Friday that Kiminori Wakasugi will launch a new manga titled Rhyming Man in the magazine's next issue on May 12. The music manga will center on a young rapper as the protagonist, and the first chapter will be 28 pages long with a color opening page.

Wakasugi ended his Detroit Metal City manga in 2010, and Viz Media published the manga in North America. The manga inspired both a live-action movie and an original video anime.

Wakasugi launched his All Esper Dayo! manga in 2009, and ended it in 2015. The manga inspired a live-action television series, a special, a film, and a web series.

Wakasugi launched his most recent manga, Sekai wa Boku no Mono , in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits magazine in October 2015, and ended it last year. Shogakukan published the manga's fourth and final volume in December.
