The highly anticipated English translation of Yasuhisa Hara’s manga Kingdom is slated to arrive on Canadian bookstore shelves Tuesday, November 11th, 2025 according to publisher VIZ Media. It will also appear on VIZ Media’s Shonen Jump digital service after each printed volume becomes available.
Orphaned in a time of turmoil, Xin and Piao envisions themselves as the top generals to unify a fragmented China. The death of his best friend does not dash Xin’s dreams, but emboldens him to forge ahead. His journey is intertwined with that of Ying Zheng, a young king of Qin. Zheng, whose appearance resembles that of Piao, enlists Xin to help secure his throne and kingdom.
A global favourite, Kingdom has sold over 110 million copies since serialization began in 2006 in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump magazine. Its popularity has enjoyed an anime series from animation studio Pierrot that ran for five seasons between June 4th, 2012, and March 30th, 2024; as well as multiple live-action films, the most recent of which, Kingdom 4: Return of the Great General, opened in Japanese theatres on July 12th, 2024.
