Viz Media is actively producing new RWBY content and expanding its print catalog with physical editions of previously digital-only titles and restored classic series, with a spring 2027 slate that includes the English print debut of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.
Viz Media has moved beyond its initial acquisition and licensing phase for the RWBY franchise. At Anime Expo, the company announced that the RWBY animated series has been greenlit for a 10th volume, with a trailer featuring the four main voice actresses and showrunner Kerry Shawcross. Viz Media acquired the series in July 2024 after Rooster Teeth shut down, and the greenlight confirms the company is actively continuing the franchise with new production.
On the print side, Viz Media announced a slate of manga and novel releases for spring 2027, led by the physical English debut of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, the sequel to Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen. The three-volume series, set 68 years after the Culling Game and following siblings Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu, concluded in Japan in May 2026 and features a story by Akutami and art by Yuji Iwasaki. Other spring 2027 releases include a Detective Conan 3-in-1 edition with original Japanese names, a Slam Dunk Deluxe Edition, Takemitsu Zamurai, Junji Ito: Dissection, and the yuri romantic comedy #Gal x Gal Yuri. Shuzo Oshimi's autobiographical work Sins is scheduled for fall 2027, and The Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins will receive a digital release in spring 2027.
In May 2026, Viz Media had no Boys' Love titles in its print lineup but shipped Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi volume one, Blue Box volume 20, and Boruto: Two Blue Vortex volume 5. The company's strategy prioritizes physical editions of previously digital-only titles and restored editions of classic series, targeting both new readers and collectors ahead of the spring 2027 sales cycle.
