Shonen Jump’s newest, Jiangshi X, pits a trio of young, fierce, and untested heroes against a devilish opponent with magical powers.
In a continuation of its recent run of new manga series, Shonen Jump recently introduced Jiangshi X, its first new series of the year that combines dark fantasy, Chinese occult themes, and mesmerizing martial arts action. Jiangshi X, which debuted on January 2023, was written and illustrated by Norihiko Kurazomo. Kurazomo has authored several other manga series, including the popular science fiction series Automaton.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Jiangshi X follows the story of Xiaohu, Chaoyun and Jiuli, three young boys training to become Daoshi monks. Up until now, the three have always trained together, and have become rather skilled in martial arts. However, their tendency to joke around, play pranks, and try to outdo one another has hampered their abilities and opportunities to improve themselves and rise higher in the training ranks.
Jiangshi X Might Be Shonen Jump's Most Unique New Series In addition to its martial arts, wuxia tales often also include Chinese occult elements. This inclusion of the occult is likely linked to the ancient connection between Chinese martial arts and religion, More than a few styles of Chinese martial arts were created by monks as a means improving their spirituality, as well as their stamina.
The more innovative twist that Jiangshi X adds to its tale is dark fantasy. Indeed, the story begins by framing the tale to be told as within the classic dark fantasy trope of darkness taking over the world as a result of the disruption of the balance between the forces of light and dark. There's also the inclusion of the jiangshi as the main threat to its three young heroes.
