Shueisha announced via the Shonen Jump+ official account that it has launched Hitoner as a new manga series following the sheer popularity of the original one-shot publication. The new manga series is available not only in Japan, as Shueisha has also launched simultaneous global releases in English, Spanish, and Thai via Manga Plus. The title Hitoner is a portmanteau that combines Hito (人 / ヒト / human person) with Kemoner (ケモナー / furry). It tells the story of a human from Earth who arrives on a faraway planet inhabited by a humanoid beastkin that call themselves Kemo. The story revolves around the Kemos’ reception of the human as an incoming foreign species. Tomohiro Yagi originally published the one-shot edition of Hitoner on February 15, 2024. Shueisha noted that this release has since reached 1,950,000 total views. Such popularity allowed Yagi to make a serialization of this manga. Hitoner has thus become the third title from Tomohiro Yagi to have a serialization greenlit. The first serialized title from the artist was Iron Knight, which had 16 chapters published throughout 2014. The following year in 2015, he published Red Sprite as a one-off manga that also garnered enough popularity to be serialized for 14 chapters in 2016. The first two chapters of the Hitoner manga are readily available to read worldwide. Shueisha will publish the third chapter at midnight on April 29, 2026, in Japan’s time zone (UTC+9), with more chapters slated to appear every following week.The post Shonen Jump One-Shot Manga Hitoner Becomes a Series appeared first on Siliconera.
