Sora Karin and Kentaro Harada Launch The Pit of Darkness on Shonen Jump+

Sora Karin and Kentaro Harada launched The Pit of Darkness, published as Yami Sute Ana, on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ on Saturday. Karin writes the story and Harada draws the art.

Why it matters

The launch puts Karin and Harada back on a Shueisha web platform together after Enkan no Emotions closed with its fifth volume in March, and it arrives in English at the same time as the Japanese release rather than after it.

MANGA Plus is publishing the manga in English on the same day. The premise follows Kasuga, a boy his peers take advantage of for his diligent nature, who finds a huge, bottomless pit during a class field trip cleanup and drops something inside. The pit erases whatever is thrown into it, and it distorts reality.

The pairing is a repeat. Karin and Harada last worked together on Enkan no Emotions, which ran on Shueisha's Tonari no Young Jump from November 2024 to January 30 this year and closed with a fifth and final compiled volume on March 18.

Harada also drew Villain Actor with Mikumo Seto in Coamix's Monthly Comic Zenon, three volumes, all released in English by Titan Manga. Karin wrote The Archangel of Death with Merou Meiji for Coamix's Comic Tatan, which ran from March 2022 to November 2023. That one has five volumes and an English release through MangaPlaza.
