Marvel And KADOKAWA Announce Spider-Man Manga Set In Shibuya
KADOKAWA and Marvel Comics announced the launch of a joint project, "MARVEL | KADOKAWA," at the MARVEL FANFARE panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 on Saturday, July 25, 2026. The first wave includes two manga: "Spider-Man (working title)" by tokitokoro and "Spider-Gwen (working title)" by Ryusei Yamada. Both works will begin serialization on the manga site Kadocomi within 2026, with print volumes planned afterward. The Spider-Man manga follows Haruto Hachidori, a male high school student living in Shibuya who suddenly acquires an unknown spider ability, and the Spider-Gwen manga centers on Gwen Stacy, an ordinary high school student who plays drums in the band Mary Janes. Concept art released with the announcement shows Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen alongside Daredevil and the Punisher. Five titles are scheduled to be announced sequentially as the project's first wave.
