One of the most incredible yet underrated Shonen mangas has received recognition from Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto, so here’s what you need to know. Set in the 16th century, Centuria is a Shonen manga by Tohru Kuramori that follows Julian, a stowaway on a slave ship. Living in a gruesome world, Julian suffers all kinds of hardships after being sold by his mother.
However, his life is changed forever when he meets Mira, a pregnant woman on the ship. After a tragic incident, he embarks on a groundbreaking journey to find peace and freedom along with Mira’s newborn daughter, Diana. Centuria debuted in April 2024 and currently has 25 chapters.
Most fans may not know but Kuramori is Tatsuki Fujimoto’s former assistant, and this isn’t the first time this has happened. The creators of Spy X Family, Hell’s Paradise, and Dandadan have all worked with Fujimoto before. In this case, the Chainsaw Man creator has shared support for Kuramori by recommending this manga to his fans.
