Man just stumbled on this manga years later. Idk if anyone will see this but I am just sad it never got to be fleshed out like it deserved. Would have been so good! Still is for what it’s worth

View Poll

I feel it would hit 12 episodes, i think if it got animated by MAPPA or wit studio or Ufotable as Ufotables work with demon slayer is beautiful, i feel they could animate the aura of ragos power excellently, maybe we could even see an ova episode or a side story

Even though this is all theoretical i know we’d all like to see one

How was it cancelled? It ended at 5 volumes but it said 'the end', marking the end of the story?

This manga was really enjoyable to read. Is there any other short shonen series that I could buy?

So as of now my favourite anime is Jujutsu Kaisen. I've noticed some unintentional similarities, for example the protagonist wanting to save someone even if they have to be a dick about it, being posseses but in full control and having an unnatural ability off the bat. I feel like these two series are similar put I can't put my finger on it. Anyone else felt this? Also Gojo and Rago sounds like a fun interaction.

So I bought black torch volumes 1 forgetting that theres a poster inside it, how do i take that out without messing up the book?

Looking to get into this but can't find anywhere to read this for the frees. Help out a brother 🙌🏻

can anyone help me on getting in to this manga i have the questions if you don't mind is it worth to read does the ending sucks and is there any romance in this series.

I read it in two days or so, it is really good! The story could have been so interesting and has a great cast, it's so sad that it ended. Here I am wishing for a sequel, hope his next series do well and he gets the chance to continue the story. Heart Gear is good too? (Sorry for my English, not my mother tongue 😅)

You telling me, from reading the character bios at the end of the final chapter, that we were gonna get a battle highschool setting, character arcs for the main three, and a friggin plot about corruption in the organization...

This dude needs to pull a Trigun to Trigun Maximum and move to another publisher, cus Jump trippin

I love this series why was it cancelled on book five I read the first book and read on and on and when I heard it was being canceled I was just wanting Shonen Jump to change it’s mind it was a great series from intro to end

it was great, why was this cancelled??? It had so much more potential if it wasn't forced to end on volume 5. I really don't understand why it's MAL score is a bit low or why it apparently "Sold poorly". Sure it was a little unoriginal sometimes but it was still pretty entertaining and the art was amazing.

Great manga, solid 8/10, had the potential to go much higher if it was given the chance. idk what shonen jump is thinking anymore

I can’t believe they canceled this manga!! It’s legitimately so good but I wonder if the concept of Black Torch’s and Kimetsu no Yaiba’s demons/mononoke were just too similar so they cut Black Torch

Are there any black torch statues/figures that are on sale or are going to be on sale?

I've been excited to start reading it but I'm also dreading it at the same time, I don't want to see it end. I got out of manga and anime around the time I graduated high school. I'm still an avid fan of the series that I grew up with in the 90's and early 2000's, the Toonami/Adult Swim classics and such. I found myself drifting away from all of the new series coming out, both anime and manga. I tried MHA, Black Clover, Fairy Tail, One Punch Man, all of the big hits of the last decade. None of them were doing it for me, I couldn't even pretend to be interested in them despite giving very fair chances.

Then, in February of this year, I saw a post that Viz Media made on Instagram of Ichika. I instantly fell in love with her character and the artwork, both seemed so unique. I immediately went and researched the series before buying the first 3 manga volumes on Amazon. I read all three over the course of a day or two, I was absolutely hooked. I felt like a little kid again when I first found out about Yu Yu Hakusho or Rurouni Kenshin, I couldn't get enough.

Black Torch felt so fresh. The characters had so much life to them, the artwork is hands down THE best art in any manga that I've ever read before, no contest. The story felt a bit darker than your average shonen series and there was so much potential oozing from this story. Before finding out that the series had been cancelled in Japan, I was imagining what it would be like once an anime was announced, where the story could go down the road, etc. I had finally found a new series to invest myself in... and it was cancelled early. Literally the first new series in a decade that I take interest in and it is gone before it could even begin.

I just wanted to share my disappointment and admiration for this underrated and mistreated series. If nothing else, I will re-read these 5 volumes frequently and they will always have a place on my shelf. Tsuyoshi Takaki has earned himself a big fan who will follow whatever series he comes up with next. I'll give Heart Gear a shot when Viz begins releasing it physically, if they haven't already?

Reading Takaki's afterward in volume 5 and seeing him call Black Torch his baby was sad to me. You could tell he was putting so much effort into his first series. It's all an absolute shame to me, so disappointing.

Title, just wanted to know how one of my first manga's TL is going since it got friggin axed

Last one I checked was chapter 12

TAKAKI Tsuyoshi made another manga named heart gear. I think that you guys should know if you didn’t

So here is chapter 13. I know most of you probably read it already but i figured for those that havent id put it here. Also a side note i just spent 5 hours taking chapter 13 - 15 pictures and then editing them so they dont look too gross and now i gotta post all them.

Edit: 14 is up and fixed in order. Chapter 15 is having issues uploading but ill try to work out the bugs

Chapter 13: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45

Another random side note: the only thing that got me through the 5 hour grind for yall was my man Eve. I highly recommend checking his other music out if you liked this one, its not even his best one but still amazing and the most popular one on his channel i think: https://youtu.be/jJzw1h5CR-I
