Kagurabachi memes, which often feature the manga’s sword-wielding protagonist Chihiro Rokuhira, were posted on the official Facebook page of a branch of the Singapore government that chose a different meaning when referring to the viral meme in a post on Facebook dates. October 27. Memes are often created by adding or replacing text to insert something he never said, often exaggerating the success of the manga. It is also often paired with a greater than symbol (>) to suggest that the manga is much better than more established titles in terms of shock value, hooks, or other ironic humor. In this case, the post was made to encourage people to create less waste:
“Our fight against waste will be very difficult. There are several ways to join the fight, like arming yourself with a reusable bag the next time you go grocery shopping! See here for more ways you can help fight waste! https://www.nea.gov.sg/our…/waste-management/overviewTowardsZeroWaste #SGGreenPlan #Kagurabachi,” the post read.
Takeru Hokazono’s Kagurabachi manga debuted in September 2023 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Thanks in part to memes, Kagurabachi has become one of the most read manga series on Shueisha’s MANGA Plus platform, surpassing One Piece and Spy x Family. In recent weeks, the manga has begun to build a core fanbase, receiving praise in particular for its art style and fight scenes. A review from Anime Corner’s Eric Himmelheber gave the first chapter an 8/10, with the closing comment: Kagurabachi’s first chapter is the best I’ve read in any new generation of manga since Sakamoto Days . So, if you’re a fan of the latter, I highly recommend you watch the brutal and action-packed Kagurabachi. It has a bit of humor that can be related to Sakamoto Days but it also has a haunting appeal as when a war begins we are about to see some brutal violence happen.
VIZ Media licenses the manga in North America and provides the synopsis: Chihiro’s cursed past sends him on a bloody quest for revenge!
