Shin Crayon Shin-chan to Launch this August 5!


The Japanese publisher Futabasha is announcing on Friday that Shin Crayon Shin-chan, the new series based on the comedy manga by the late Yoshito Usui, will launch in the September issue of Monthly Manga Town magazine on August 5. Friday is also the day that Crayon Shin-chan Vol. 50 — the last book volume of four-panel manga strips drawn by Usui — will ship in Japan.

The upcoming Shin Crayon Shin-chan series will be officially credited to "Yoshito Usui & UY Studio." UY Studio is the team of assistants who had been creating the manga with Usui for many years, and the team will now inherit the manga title from Usui.

The new manga will continue to tell the comedic misadventures of the mischievous kindergartener Shin-chan, his father Hiroshi, his mother Misae, and other familiar characters. The Daily Sports newspaper had already reported last November that preparations were being made for a manga "sequel" to Crayon Shin-chan.
