Hiroshi Takahashi Launches Manga Sequel to Crows and WORST in January 2026

Manga artist Hiroshi Takahashi is preparing to revisit the setting of two of his most popular manga series, Crows and WORST . A teaser movie has dropped for the upcoming series, whose title has yet to be announced. The teaser shows key moments from the two previous series, both of which follow delinquent boys at Suzuran High School. We also get our first look at a panel from the new series, depicting a crow perched on a sign: Hiroshi Takahashi Manga Teaser Trailer RELATED: Dragon Ball Launches First Global Character Popularity Poll While nothing has been explicitly confirmed about the new manga's plot, it has been called a "legitimate sequel" to both Crows and WORST — implying that this series might also be set at Suzuran. The new manga series will premiere in Volume 3 of Akita Shonen's Young Champion, which hits newsstands in Japan in January 2026. Crows ran in Akita Shonen's Monthly Shonen Champion from 1990-1998. The series received three spinoff manga and a two-episode OVA, as well as inspiring three live-action films (including Takashi Miike's Crows Zero and Crows Zero 2 ). WORST ran from 2006-2013, also in Monthly Shonen Champion, serving as a continuation of Crows. Both series follow Suzuran High's gang of delinquent students. Takahashi's 1999-2001 manga QP (which ran in Shonen Gahosha's Young King ) shares a setting with both series, but is otherwise unconnected to the two manga. Source: Comic Natalie
