Monthly Champion RED announced on its official X account that big news about Kigitsu Katsuhisa's manga Detective Marnie will appear in the October issue, on sale August 19. The manga, serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion from 2012 to 2014 across 11 volumes, saw renewed attention after a Kindle sale in May 2026.
The October issue of Monthly Champion RED, on sale August 19, will carry big news about Detective Marnie, the editorial department confirmed on X. The announcement comes months after the manga, which ended in 2014, became a hit on Amazon's Kindle store starting in May 2026, helped by a 99 yen per volume sale promoted widely on social media.
The July issue of Champion RED already responded to that trend by including a completely new one-shot of the work, which also adorned the issue's cover. The October news follows that revival, though the department has not said what form it will take.
