The manga BOY is currently available as a discounted title on Amazon Kindle, with volumes priced at 100 yen each.
BOY appears in the Amazon Kindle manga rankings for the week of May 22, 2026, as reported by Dengeki Hobby Web. The series is listed among sale titles, with each volume priced at 100 yen. The ranking covers the top 20 best-selling manga volumes on the platform for that period, and BOY's presence there reflects its inclusion in a promotional sale rather than a new release or a surge in ongoing serialization.
No other Yomimono stories in this cluster discuss BOY's plot, staff, publisher, or any adaptation plans. The only concrete information about the series comes from the single ranking story, which does not specify how many volumes are on sale, whether the series is ongoing or completed, or what genre it belongs to. The discount price suggests a publisher-driven promotion, but no further details about the campaign or the series' status are provided.
The remaining stories in the cluster cover unrelated titles and events: a sequel film for Shiboyugi, the conclusion of Talentless Nana, the founding of Oval Gear by Katsuhiro Otomo, and a Gundam anniversary short. None of these stories mention BOY or connect to it in any way. The dossier for BOY is therefore limited to the single data point from the Kindle rankings.
Synthesized by Yomimono from the cited Yomimono stories below, each itself sourced, then editorially reviewed. Every fact links the story it came from.

Kadokawa released a new teaser and key visual for the sequel movie Shiboyugi Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table 44: Cloudy Beach. The film continues the anime adaptation of Yuushi Ukai's light novel. Chiyuki Miura and the rest of the original cast will reprise their roles. The movie opens in Japanese theaters on July 10.
The June issue of Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan reports that Looseboy and Iori Furuya's Talentless Nana manga will conclude in two more chapters, likely finishing in July. The series launched in May 2016 and has 14 compiled volumes. An anime adaptation aired in 2020.
Director and manga artist Katsuhiro Ōtomo has founded a new animation studio called Oval Gear. The studio will focus on feature-length work. Its first project is already in production. The company is hiring animators and production staff as it builds out its team. Ōtomo is best known for the 1988 film Akira, which he directed and wrote based on his own manga. His other directing credits include the anthology Memories, the steampunk feature Steamboy, and the science-fiction story Roujin Z. He also contributed to Perfect Blue, the psychological thriller directed by the late Satoshi Kon. The formation of Oval Gear marks a return to feature animation for Ōtomo, whose last full-length directorial work was Steamboy in 2004. The studio name and its immediate hiring push suggest a permanent production base rather than a one-off project team. No release window or title for the first film has been shared.
Bandai Namco and Sunrise released a nearly six-minute animated short on Thursday as the opening piece of the Gundam 50th Anniversary Project. The video, titled A Boy with Gundam, debuted during the Conference Spring 2026 presentation and is available on the official English and Japanese Gundam channels. It is set in the real world and follows a grandfather who, while visiting a life-size moving Gundam statue with his family, recalls how the original Mobile Suit Gundam shaped his life from childhood onward. Amuro Ray and other pilots appear in flashback sequences, and the short closes with a montage of franchise references. The song Kinjito by the group PEOPLE 1 plays over the footage, and the English upload carries subtitles for the lyrics. Tsukuro Hayakawa directed, storyboarded, and handled CG direction. Shinya Watada served as unit director. Juri Toida designed the animation characters, and Bandai Namco Studios' Yasuto Morioka provided the original character designs. The actual 50th anniversary arrives in 2029, and Bandai Namco is assembling a slate of projects under the Road to 50 banner ahead of that date.
