Shinchosha Co., Ltd. will release the first volume of the comic series "Kagetora-kun Can't Go Back," which is serialized on its web manga site "Kurage Bunch," on Saturday, May 9, 2026. This is a new sensation shame-based TS comedy drawn by Shuji Yukimoto, known for "Same Girl" (Kodansha).

This work is a chaotic TS comedy about the protagonist, Kagetora-kun, who, despite priding himself on being "the toughest guy in school," suddenly becomes a "girl." Faced with his completely adorable new appearance, can he still maintain his pride as a tough guy? The highlight is Kagetora-kun's "shame" as he is tossed between "toughness" and "cuteness"!
