| According to Comic Natalie, Otomo Katsuhiro has been preparing a long-term series of Shonen manga. He said it was a wild project since Akira was the only long series he had ever worked on. Otomo revealed that the story of the manga will take place in the Meiji period. He also announced that he will direct an anime titled "Hinoyōjin". The production studio is Sunrise.

| I don't know about this.... a ongoing shounen series ehhh this will be his downfall |
| Akira was decent, though the manga was way better. Memories, Neo Tokyo, Metropolis and Steamboy were great, but Roujin Z, Freedom and Spriggan were below average to outright bad. His animes seem to be hit or miss and I've only read Akira from his mangas, which was very great. There is definitely potential there for a good series, though I'm looking more forward to the anime than to the shounen manga. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
Kazeshini said: I don't know about this.... a ongoing shounen series ehhh this will be his downfall Yes, shounen does horribly. Nobody reads it. As Higashi_no_Kaze said, I find his stuff kind of hit or miss, but what I do like I really like so... we'll see. |
 |
| I think I only watched Metropolis....when I was like 7. |
 |
| Roujin Z and Freedom were excellent, I think it's Steamboy that's his weakest work, if you ask me. Otomo's works tend to always be great, if not at least memorable. I have assured confidence that his new manga will be worth a read. |
 |
| Akira was fantastic and i really liked Spriggan too, i haven't seen steamboy but most people tell me all its really got going for it was its big budget animation. I personally think Otomo can deliver another great piece of work but only time will tell i guess. |
| I've never read Akira. I've only watched the anime. But I thought it was pretty decent, so maybe now I'll get around to reading the manga. Either way, I'll keep an eye out for further developments of this. |

| need more info so will be waiting |

| What Can I Say... I've got a boner. |
 |
| As long as he doesn't slip up like with Freedom I'll be looking forward to this, especially the new anime. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
