1993: A change of scenery for Hiro Mashima
This time, Mashima delves into the urban dramas of the 1990s, exploring the daily lives of juvenile delinquents . With a more realistic and tense approach, 1993 leaves dragons and magic aside to explore a more raw and human world. The one-shot will be published in issue 32 of Weekly Young Magazine , scheduled for release on July 7 , 2025.
According to the @MangaMoguraRE profile, which promotes market news, the manga is already attracting the interest of readers who have been following the author's work for years. After all, it's rare to see Mashima stray from classic shōnen elements to experiment with new narrative contexts.
Setting the story in the 1990s brings a nostalgic feel, with a retro aesthetic and themes like gang conflicts and intense interpersonal relationships. Although there are no details yet about a possible sequel, expectations are high among loyal fans and those interested in rebellious stories with a Japanese soul.
