Acclaimed manga creator Hiromu Arakawa recently shared the announcement of her newest manga in the August edition of Square Enix’s magazine Monthly Shonen Gangan. Well known for her series Fullmetal Alchemist and Silver Spoon, Arakawa’s most recent work can be seen in the currently running manga The Heroic Legend of Arslan.

While there is little known about the new project, Arakawa did release a visual that features what we can presume is the main character of the new series. No release date is set, but it is “coming soon”.
