B-Wanted

B-Wanted is a shonen manga series written and illustrated by Enue Kei, originally serialized in the Japanese magazine Monthly Shonen Jump during the late 1990s. The series follows the adventures of a young boy named Train, a quintessential energetic protagonist typical of the era's adventure-comedy genre, who finds himself entangled in a quest involving bounty hunting and supernatural elements. It represents the distinct visual style of Kei, characterized by dynamic action sequences and expressive character designs that helped define the aesthetic of late 90s jump-affiliated titles.

The series was designed to appeal to younger readers seeking lighthearted escapism, emphasizing camaraderie and rhythmic, fast-paced storytelling. While it did not reach the global ubiquity of long-running epic shonen franchises, it maintains a dedicated following among collectors of the era's shorter-run manga series. It is regarded as a snapshot of the experimental and eclectic nature of the editorial landscape at Shonen Jump during a period of transition in the medium.
