The October issue of Shogakukan's Cheese! magazine announced that manga creator Chie Shinohara will launch a new manga titled Itsukinomiya Genshitan (The Records of Itsukinomiya Visions) in the magazine's next issue on September 24. The historical mystery epic is set in Ise Province during Japan's Asuka period and centers on an imperial princess.
The new series, described as a historical mystery epic, is set in Ise Province during Japan's Asuka period (538-710 CE) and centers on an imperial princess who serves the gods at Ise Grand Shrine, as was the custom for unmarried princesses of the time. The story begins when someone visits her, leading to a great turn in the pages of history.
Shinohara confirmed the launch on her X/Twitter account, noting she is drawing the series for Cheese! magazine's 30th anniversary. She wrote that it is a Japanese history-flavored work and asked readers to support it as they did Tenkawa Anime.
Shinohara serialized Red River in Shogakukan's Sho-Comi magazine from 1995 to 2002. Viz Media released all 28 volumes in English from 2004 to 2010, then began re-releasing the manga in 3-in-1 omnibus editions in October 2024. The Red River manga also inspired a stage play by the Takarazuka Revue in 2018 and an ongoing television anime that debuted on July 7, with Crunchyroll streaming it as it airs in Japan.
