Shiten Akiyama's Horizon resumed in Young King BULL's 22nd issue on Monday, the magazine's official X account announced. The manga debuted in the magazine in June 2025, and Shonengahosha published the first compiled volume on February 16. Kodama Tales has licensed the series and will release the first volume in January 2027. Akiyama had posted an unofficially translated English version in February and said on X that the publisher had them delete it.
Horizon is serializing again in Young King BULL, and the English side of the story has a publisher attached. Kodama Tales holds the license and plans the first volume for January 2027, after Shonengahosha's Japanese first volume arrived on February 16.
The manga centers on Mieko Fujiwara, a burnt-out office worker nearing the end of her twenties who puts on her old school uniform and goes to a park, where she meets a young man. Akiyama's own English post of the manga in February was taken down at the publisher's request, so the licensed volume is the version that stays up.
