The
Batman and the Justice League manga was
launched last October in North America as a joint project by DC Comics and Akita Shoten's Champion RED magazine just last October but it seems the series is set to come to an end this Summer. Likely, the abysmall
Batman v Superman and
Justice League films didn't help manga sales in Japan.
Manga author Shiori Teshirogi broke the news on her personal blog. Teshirogi is a relativley young manga artist, best known for the
Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas - Meiou Shinwa manga series, which ran from 2006 to 2011 in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shonen Champion manga magazine.
From mangaka Shiori Teshirogi (Saint seiya the lost canvas) comes a new series starring Batman and the Justice League. Currently being serialized in the monthly Japanese anthology Red [sic], the story focuses on a young boy who comes to Gotham City from Japan. He's trying to solve the mystery of what happened to his scientist parents after their disappearance following a factory explosion a year earlier. As it turns out, the factory was owned by Lex Luthor, who has now teamed with The Joker. Together, they plan on using the research of the boy's parents to tap into a mystical, all-powerful, worldwide energy source. But for what purpose? It's a bigger challenge than Batman can handle on his own, so he's going to need some help from the League.
