The creator behind hits like Fairy Tail and Edens Zero , Hiro Mashima , is about to surprise fans with a bold project. The author has announced a new manga titled 1993 , which promises to tell a story quite different from the magical and futuristic universes he is known for.
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 tension-filled approach, 1993 sets aside dragons and magic to address 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 profile @MangaMoguraRE, responsible for publicizing news from the market, the manga is already arousing the interest of readers who have followed the author's work for years. After all, it's rare to see Mashima stray from the classic elements of shōnen to experiment with new narrative contexts.
The choice to set the story in the 90s brings a nostalgic feel, with retro aesthetics and themes such as gang conflicts and intense interpersonal relationships. Although there are still no details about a possible sequel, expectations are high among the most loyal fans and those interested in stories of rebellion with a Japanese soul.
