VIZ Media announces exciting new digital content for SHONEN JUMP with the launch of SAMURAI 8: THE TALE OF HACHIMARU. Chapter 1 is available now for the highly-anticipated series by famed NARUTO creator, Masashi Kishimoto, who teams up with his longtime assistant artist Akira Okubo. SAMURAI 8 debuted in English with a 72-page opening chapter on May 12th, the same day it launched in Japan. New chapters will be available to English readers for FREE on a weekly basis at shonenjump.com and via the SHONEN JUMP app.
Additional just-added manga content now available in the SHONEN JUMP digital vault includes fan-favorite series JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE, PARTS 1 – 3 (PHANTOM BLOOD, BATTLE TENDENCY, and STARDUST CRUSADERS), GOLDEN KAMUY (Rated ‘M’ for Mature and web-only), and ONE-PUNCH MAN.
