Shueisha Fires Up Weekly Shonen Jump with 'Cannon Master' Debut

Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump welcomed a striking new series this week as Cannon Master by Reiya Machida began serialization in issue #30. The action fantasy introduces a master-apprentice duo in a vivid world of golems and powerful forces, where veteran Bharat discovers his student has already surpassed him.

Machida, who built a reputation through acclaimed one-shots like Vroom!! and Memento in Kowloon, finally steps into full serialization after years of dedicated work. The debut features lead color pages and strong placement, signaling the publisher's investment in fresh talent and bold concepts.

English readers receive the chapter immediately. The first installment is available day-and-date on VIZ Media's Shonen Jump platform and Shueisha's MANGA Plus service, extending the company's global simulpub reach.

The launch arrives amid a recent wave of new Jump titles, offering fans a distinctive take on battle fantasy centered on legacy, rivalry, and a master-student relationship that flips traditional expectations.
