Ichihara Retires As Editor-in-Chief

By Epic Dope Staff | October 15, 2021

Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday is one of our favorite magazines that brought us manga like Detective Conan, Inuyasha, and Komi Can’t Communicate.

Takenori Ichihara announced his retirement as Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday’s editor-in-chief on.

The new editor-in-chief would be Kazunori Oshima. The former describes Oshima as a sincere and talented man who can take Shonen Sunday even further than where it is right now.

Ichihara also stated the magazine was in an unprecedented crisis when he was appointed and is happy that Shonen Sunday had a dramatic improvement in its business.

The credit truly goes to Takenori as he handpicked the kind of content the magazine published.

What remains is to see how the new editor-in-chief continues the legacy of bringing us legendary content.
