New Shonen Jump Manga Is Shojo Null

The first new manga series to appear in Shonen Jump in August 2023 is Shojo Null by Kanae Nakanishi and Akima. The first chapter is available to read worldwide via MangaPlus and Viz Media. It is free to read online.

Shojo Null begins with a rather shocking panel of a character in a dress saying, “I’ve made up my mind! I’m going to kill all those nasty humans!” It then reveals that the character is a robotic creation known as a Gijin. These are designed to be mindless automatons who perform less desirable tasks and jobs. That initial character is Fuji-93106, a military Gijin who was the only survivor of a crash. We then learn that a young boy named Riaha, whose father realized Gijin were sentient beings. He found and saved Fuji-93106, who says their name is Marie, and is housing them. The first chapter deals with what happens when Marie is exposed to the outside world.

This is one of three new Shonen Jump manga to show up lately. Sachi’s Records: Sachi’s Book of Revelation and Wild Strawberry both started their runs in July 2023. However, this is the first new series to start in August 2023. Before that, Ice-Head Gill debuted in June 2023.

Shojo Null is now running in Shonen Jump, and the next new chapter of the manga will appear on August 11, 2023.
