Shonen Jump's most innovative series Akane-banashi is once again putting a unique twist on a classic Shonen trope in a way only it could do.
Tournament arcs are a staple of Shonen Jump series, but one manga, Akane-banashi, has taken their competition to a whole new level with a brilliant twist. Akane-banashi by Yuki Suenaga and Takamasa Moue follows a young girl named Akane as she attempts to become a professional Rakugoka, a performer of a traditional Japanese comedic art form.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Shonen Jump's Akane-banashi Shifts Conflict to the Tournament Judges This isn't the first time that Akane-banashi has put its own spin on tired tropes. In fact, the manga already changed Shonen Jump tournament arcs forever by making Akane the clear favorite to win instead of an underdog.
In other Shonen manga, tournaments generally feature contestants fighting each other until one is knocked out. Some series occasionally shake up this formula either by not having the fights be one on one or adding extra rules, but usually these battles still boil down to characters directly fighting and eliminating each other. In these sorts of tournaments, it would make no sense for there to be judges for the contestants to fight as well.
Akane-banashi Can Innovate in a Way Other Shonen Jump Manga Can't Unique innovations like this is why even manga fans who only read more typical action packed Shonen series should give Akane-banashi a chance. It may not be a battle manga but this is what makes it one of Shonen Jump's most exciting new series. As its latest chapters show, Akane-banashi can put spins on classic Shonen tropes that no other Shonen Jump manga can accomplish.
