			<video:description><![CDATA[It is kind of funny to think about how Kagurabachi started. When Takeru Hokazono's manga first appeared in Weekly Shonen Jump in September 2023, Chihiro Rokuhira quickly became an internet meme, with plenty of people jokingly declaring the series a masterpiece before there was even enough story to properly judge it. But then the chapters kept coming, and the joke slowly stopped being a joke. Kagurabachi turned out to have a genuinely sharp revenge story underneath all that cool-looking sword imagery. Hokazono's pacing, artwork and ability to make Chihiro look like he is carrying the weight of the entire world on his shoulders helped the manga build a real following rather than just surviving on internet hype. Now, after selling millions of collected volumes and winning the Next Manga Award, the series is heading into a much bigger spotlight with a television anime scheduled to premiere in April 2027.]]></video:description>
