DOGSRED by Satoru Noda
This is the second ice hockey manga in Noda’s career, Supinamarada! was his first. Before creating one of the most successful seinen manga of all time on Golden Kamuy, Supinamarada! is Noda’s first manga published in Weekly Young Jump from 2011-2012. It finally ended at volume 6 (chapter 58) due to lack of commercial success.
Weekly Young Jump originally announced earlier this year that Supinamarada! will be relaunched and is even said to come out in the spring now that Golden Kamuy has officially ended. But the magazine went in a different direction with its “new” hockey series. Although DOGSRED is a new series, the manga’s premise is similar to Supinamarada! since the main character, Shirakawa Rou, is a former skating prodigy who turns to hockey and begins to learn how brutal the sport is. There is currently no news about DOGSRED receiving an English print release.
Noda began his manga journey at the age of 23, which led him to become a manga assistant for a decade before the release of Supinamarada! He was an assistant to authors Yasuyuki Kunitomo (The Ten Billion Man, Junk Boy) and Mitsurou Kubo (Again!!), and is a co-author of the popular anime Yuri on Ice!
Supinamarada though! unsuccessful, Noda’s Golden Kamuy went on to win numerous awards, most recently the 2018 Tezuka Osamu Cultural Award. Golden Kamuy currently has over 25 million copies in circulation as of November 2023.
