Why this announcement matters
Megumu Okada has earned a reputation as a versatile manga artist capable of both high-octane action and mythological drama. His name carries weight among long-time manga readers thanks to several major projects that helped define genres and inspired animated adaptations.
Shadow Skill — Okada’s breakthrough
Okada first rose to prominence with Shadow Skill, a martial arts fantasy manga that blended intense hand-to-hand combat with intricate weapon work and world-building. Shadow Skill’s serialized run and subsequent animated adaptations showcased Okada’s skill for staging battles that feel cinematic on the page.

Saint Seiya Episode.G and large-scale mythic storytelling
In 2003, Okada took on Saint Seiya Episode.G, a successful prequel to Masami Kurumada’s Saint Seiya universe. Episode.G allowed Okada to flex his abilities with mythological world-building and grand character designs while staying true to the essence of an established franchise. His work continued in the Saint Seiya Episode.G: Assassin series, demonstrating how Okada can handle serialized storytelling within a larger mythic framework.
Collaborations and dramatic range: Deku ~BLOCK HEAD~
Okada’s collaboration with legendary manga writer Kazuo Koike on Deku ~BLOCK HEAD~ (launched in Champion RED) showed a different facet of his talent. Teaming with Koike — whose credits include Lone Wolf and Cub — Okada proved he could support complex, mature narratives and strong character-driven plots in addition to action-oriented series.
What fans should expect from the new series
While details remain intentionally scarce, we can make educated guesses about what Okada’s new work might offer:
- Polished action sequences: Expect dynamic paneling and tightly choreographed fights that read like animated set pieces.
- Rich character design: Okada’s art consistently emphasizes memorable silhouettes and costume detail, often blending historical and fantastical elements.
- Mythic or martial-arts themes: Given his past catalog, the new series could lean toward fantasy, martial arts, or a hybrid that mixes both.
- Digital-first release: Launching on Comic Ryū Web suggests a serialized online rollout, which may include preview chapters, promotional illustrations, and periodic trailers.
Potential release timeline
No release window has been announced yet. Many digital-first manga launches follow a teaser period of weeks to months before a first chapter drops, so fans should expect an initial wait while staff and serialization details are finalized. Watch official Tokuma Shoten and Comic Ryū Web announcements for precise scheduling.
