The movie "Samurai Time Ripper" caused a massive boom. Starting with screenings in just one theater, word-of-mouth spread its reputation, eventually expanding to over 330 theaters nationwide. The box office revenue surpassed 1 billion yen, and it received the "48th Japan Academy Film Prize" for Best Picture, an unprecedented achievement for an independent film. It swept numerous film awards and generated a social phenomenon-level excitement.

Director Junichi Yasuda personally approached Korisu, a manga artist who had been posting fan art of "Samurai Time Ripper" on X (formerly Twitter), with an offer. This led to the serialization of the manga version of "Samurai Time Ripper" in "Animage." Over 12 installments, the manga faithfully depicted the main story of the film while incorporating small, affectionate details about the work, captivating many fans.

Now, with the installment in the August issue (released July 10th), the manga "Samurai Time Ripper" has finally concluded. The release of the collected volumes (2 volumes total) has been decided. Furthermore, new illustrations and stories by Korisu are planned to be included, making it a must-have for fans and beyond.

Collaboration with the historical drama series "Shinpai Muyōnosuke Tenka Gomen," which will begin airing on BS-TBS on July 16th!

The manga "Shinpai Muyōnosuke Tenka Gomen Gaiden," depicting the protagonist's backstory, will be serialized in the August and September issues of "Animage"!

"Shinpai Muyōnosuke Tenka Gomen," the historical drama depicted in "Samurai Time Ripper," is finally being adapted into a long-awaited spin-off drama. Starring Tsutomu Tamura as the protagonist Shinpai Muyōnosuke, along with Yuuno Sakura, Charu Inouye, and many familiar cast members such as Makia Yamaguchi and Norimasa Fuke.

While inheriting the world of the movie, it is drawing attention as a new era historical drama filled with both laughter and tears. It is also generating buzz for Naoto Takenaka's cameo appearance and the theme song by Crazy Ken Band. (Broadcast on BS-TBS, starting July 16th (Thu), every Thursday at 11 PM (6 episodes total)).

The manga "Shinpai Muyōnosuke Tenka Gomen Gaiden" will unfold the protagonist's backstory, which is not depicted in the drama. The circumstances under which he came to be known as "Shinpai Muyōnosuke" will be presented in two parts, front and back, coinciding with the drama's broadcast. Korisu is in charge of the script and art, with an original story supervised by Junichi Yasuda. These episodes will allow for a deeper appreciation of the drama.

The manga "Samurai Time Ripper" concludes in the August issue of "Animage" (released July 10th)! New original illustrations and stories are also planned for inclusion!
