Keiichi Sigsawa is writing his first original manga, Kemono-tachi no Peregrinatio, with Hayato Asaki on Shogakukan's Weekly CoroCoro Comic online magazine, and is set to launch a new light novel series, Drifted ~John Smith no Edo Hyoryu Kitan~, with illustrator Kouhaku Kuroboshi under Kadokawa's Dengeki Bunko imprint.
Keiichi Sigsawa's recent work spans two formats. In July, Shogakukan's Weekly CoroCoro Comic online magazine launched Kemono-tachi no Peregrinatio, his first original manga, drawn by Hayato Asaki. The story follows a young man and a beast tamer traveling on a giant wolf in a world where giant beasts wiped out most of humanity.
Three months later, Kadokawa's Dengeki Bunko imprint announced that Sigsawa and illustrator Kouhaku Kuroboshi, the duo behind Kino's Journey, will launch a new light novel series titled Drifted ~John Smith no Edo Hyoryu Kitan~. The first volume ships on November 10. The story follows a wandering man who works jobs alongside ninjas, yokai, and preternatural-powered beings.
The two announcements place Sigsawa in different publishing lanes. The manga is a first for him as an original author, while the light novel series reunites him with Kuroboshi under an imprint that has handled his novel work. Both projects share a wandering protagonist, but the settings differ: one is a post-apocalyptic world overrun by giant beasts, the other a world of ninjas and yokai. The Dengeki Bunko announcement arrived on a Friday; the manga launched in July.
