Shonen Jump is adding four new manga series to its roster in Japan, and Cipher Academy is the latest one. The first chapter in NISIOISIN and Yuji Iwasaki’s series debuted over the weekend. It also is available in English via Manga Plus and Viz Media.
The Cipher Academy manga features the titular school. It’s a place in Japan designed to help students learn how to crack codes ahead of possible wars. In addition to ordinary classes, each student will need to learn how to decipher all sorts of codes. Iroha Irohazaka is one of the few boys at the school. After meeting Kogoe Horagatoge, Kogue gives him a pair of glasses after he helps her elude some other students chasing her. However, these are special glasses, and wearing them gives him an edge when looking at puzzles and codes. After a challenge comes up involving Kyora Toshusai and her henchwomen Yukako Omomuro and Tayu Yugata, Iroha learns more about the glasses and the young woman who gave them to him.
This is the second of the four new manga series joining Shonen Jump. The first one to appear was The Ichinose Family’s Deadly Sins. That series follows an entire family after they end up with amnesia. However, each member seems to have their own secrets they’ve forgotten. The third one will show up on November 28, 2022. That will be called Ichigoki! Sojuchu. (Its English name isn’t available yet.)
Cipher Academy‘s next chapter will appear on November 26, 2022. Next week, the next new
