New Shonen Jump Manga Is Magical Girl and Narco Wars
Shueisha announced its newest Shonen Jump Plus manga series is Magical Girl and Narco Wars from Yu Nomiya and Meijimerou. It is available worldwide, with the English localization available via MangaPlus. The first chapter is available online to read for free. Note that this is a mature series with graphic elements, and it’s one of the darker new stories from Shueisha. The title of Magical Girl and Narco Wars is pretty self-explanatory, as the manga follows a magical girl named Riri Hoshina who ends up helping an undercover officer named Akira Susui deal with a new drug epidemic that hit Japan. Things begin with Riri chasing down and defeating someone dealing Candy, a new drug that consists of some of the same ingredients as the treat and is packaged in that way to help slip under the radar. While undercover with the Fuyugiri Family in the Jinsei Clan, Akira attends a funeral and finds out many yakuza are being murdered in a mysterious manner by an unknown assailant. After a chance encounter, we learn that Riri is aware of him, and the two team up to go after Candy’s manufacturer and end that menace. Shueisha frequently adds new manga series to the Shonen Jump lineup. For example, one of the last ones to appear ahead of this one was Nice Prison. As of May 5, 2025, that is the 11th most popular series in the MangaPlus “hottest” list. Another series that’s fairly new is Love is Overkill. The first volume of that just launched in Japan in May 2025. The first chapter of the new Shonen Jump manga Magical Girl and Narco Wars is available worldwide, and chapter 2 will debut on May 12, 2025.
