Satoshi Miyakawa, a manga creator, is set to release a new manga titled Namae no Nai Byōki (A Disease Without a Name) in the 18th issue of Shogakukan’s Big Comic Superior magazine on August 23.
The manga is inspired by the personal story of Miyakawa’s older brother, who has lived as a recluse for three decades.
This touching and poignant story won the grand prize in the magazine’s Superior Document Comic Grand Prize, earning Miyakawa 1 million yen and securing a serialization for the story.
In addition to this, Miyakawa, alongside artist Kawa, recently began a new manga called Ochiai Hiromitsu no Oreryū Tensei (Hiromitsu Ochiai’s Self-Reincarnation) in Kodansha’s Morning magazine.
This manga is based on the legendary life of Hiromitsu Ochiai, a former professional baseball player and manager.
Miyakawa’s collaboration with Kawa continues to explore unique and compelling stories, showcasing his versatility as a storyteller.
Miyakawa has also worked on other notable projects, including the Wanope Joker manga, which he co-created with Keisuke Gotō.
This manga, a collaboration between Kodansha’s Morning magazine and DC Comics, wrapped up in 2023.
Another of Miyakawa’s popular works, Uchū Senkan Tiramisu (Space Battleship Tiramisu), co-created with Kei Itō, ran from 2015 to 2020 and even inspired a successful anime series with two seasons, streamed by Crunchyroll and Funimation.
