Ken Wakui has returned to the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine with a new series, Negai no Astro, following his successful manga series, Tokyo Revengers. The author has described the manga as a combination of delinquency themes and supernatural elements.

Undoubtedly, fans who have followed Ken Wakui's Tokyo Revengers are excited to read his new manga. According to several leaks and spoilers posted on social media, the narrative for the manga is set during the succession war of the Yotsurugi-Gumi Yakuza clan.

The story follows two young boys, Hibaru and Terrace, from the Yakuza gang. Hibaru wants to become the strongest Yakuza ever and protect his turf as the leader of his clan. His friend, Terrace, wants to see his friend as the group leader and protect him at any cost.

The first chapter will likely introduce the main characters of the series. Hibaru's resolve and friendship with Terrace will probably be the highlight of the chapter. Additionally, fans can expect the chapter to delve into the supernatural elements.

In other words, Negai no Astro chapter 1 may also showcase how Hibaru gains his supernatural powers to protect his beloved ones and take one step forward toward his goal. Considering it's the first chapter, it will probably focus more on the story building than action.
