I spent a month creating a 3D model of a rural town for a one-shot manga. I haven’t completed a single page of the draft yet!
As of press time, Asano has not formally announced what the one-shot manga project he is working on is.
Asano is arguably best known for his manga series Goodnight Punpun and Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction. Asano has been publishing Mujina Into the Deep in Shogakukan‘s Big Comic Superior magazine (with a second “season” next year).

This year’s 15th issue of Shōnengahōsha‘s Young King magazine announced on Wednesday that Ryuta Amazume‘s Sefure manga series will end in the next issue on July 27.
The “sex and romance” story centers on two “sex friends.” Although their relationship initially focuses on their bodies, they gradually start to feel something more for each other.
Amazume launched the series in Shōnengahōsha‘s Young King magazine in March 2019. Shōnengahōsha shipped the 11th compiled book volume on May 2.
Amazume ended the Omae no Kao wo Tashikametai (Let Me See That Look on Your Face) manga on April 23. Amazume launched the series on Kodansha‘s YanMaga Web website on September 11. Kodansha shipped the second and final volume on June 19.
Amazume’s Jofū manga ended in March 2025. Amazume published a one-shot version of the manga in Hakusensha‘s Young Animal magazine in March 2021, and launched the full serialization in December 2021. Hakusensha published the manga’s seventh and final compiled book volume on May 29.
Amazume launched the Nana & Kaoru (Nana to Kaoru) manga in Hakusensha‘s Young Animal Arashi magazine in 2008, and the series switched to the main Young Animal magazine in 2009. The series ended in August 2016. FAKKU has licensed the manga. Denpa began distributing the manga starting in October 2022 in a 3-in-1 omnibus edition.
Nana to Kaoru inspired an original video anime (OVA) project and two live-action films. Amazume wrote the spinoff manga series Nana to Kaoru: Black Label that ended in 2014.
Amazume launched the Nana to Kaoru: Kōkōsei no SM Gokko (High Schoolers’ S&M Play) spinoff manga in the inaugural issue of Hakusensha‘s Harem magazine in November 2018, and ended the series in October 2021. The manga’s fifth and final volume shipped in December 2021. The manga is set during Nana and Kaoru’s third year of high school.
