This year's 22nd issue of Hakusensha 's Young Animal Shigemitsu Harada and Shinjirou 's manga , titled Shinyaku Kani Kousen (The Crab Cannery Ship: New Testament), will end in the magazine's next issue, which launches on November 25.
Thus, the manga references communist Takiji Kobayashi's proletarian novel, Kani Kōouen (The Crab Cannery Ship), and the manga is loosely based on the novel, which debuted in 1929 and was banned by the Japanese imperial government. The book tells the story of the struggle of crab boat workers, whose labor is exploited.
Synopsis
The science fiction manga is set in a world where all the world's oceans have evaporated, and gigantic versions of sea creatures travel on air currents in the sky. For the nation's honor, crab canning ships and their crews work to catch giant crabs. Ruka and Hiiragi, once sold to an orphanage, now work among the exploited crew of one of these ships, hoping to one day pay off their debts and be free. But when Ruka retaliates against her ship's tyrannical captain, Kujou, her fate changes.
Harada and Shinjirou therefore launched the Shinyaku Kani Kousen manga in Young Animal in June 2021. Hakusensha then published the manga's fourth volume digitally on September 29.
