Saint Seiya Returns with New Manga: Haikyo no Hana Set to Release This November!

Saint Seiya Fans, Get Ready for a New Adventure!

Exciting news has just dropped for Saint Seiya enthusiasts! This year’s 49th issue of Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine has revealed that Masami Kurumada, the creator of the beloved Saint Seiya series, is set to release a new manga titled Saint Seiya Then: Haikyo no Hana (Flowers of Ruin). This upcoming story is a direct sequel to the Saint Seiya: Next Dimension series, and it promises to reignite the classic battles and celestial themes fans have cherished for decades.

The release of Saint Seiya Then: Haikyo no Hana is scheduled for November 14, bringing something extra special to the pages of Weekly Shōnen Champion. The debut chapter will span eight pages, featuring stunning full-color artwork—a rare treat in manga releases that underscores the importance of this new addition to the Saint Seiya universe.

What to Expect from Haikyo no Hana

While plot details are still under wraps, the title Haikyo no Hana—translating to “Flowers of Ruin”—hints at a darker storyline, possibly diving into themes of decay, rebirth, and the beauty that emerges from adversity. This fits within the Saint Seiya legacy, which is known for its dramatic, high-stakes narratives and rich symbolic elements tied to mythology and cosmos.

Why This New Manga Is Significant

This latest manga marks a significant moment for both long-time readers and newer fans of Saint Seiya. As a sequel to Next Dimension, it continues to bridge Kurumada’s expansive mythological world with modern storytelling. Plus, the full-color pages serve as a visual celebration, making this release a must-have collectible.
