Where it came from
Kurogane is a sports manga series authored by Haruto Ikezawa, which was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump beginning in 2011. The story centers on a young boy named Kurogane Hiroto who possesses an extraordinary sense of sight, leading him to be recruited into his school’s kendo club despite his lack of athletic coordination. The series serves as a focused exploration of traditional Japanese martial arts, blending high-stakes competition with the typical progression tropes associated with the shonen demographic.
The character designs and martial arts choreography were developed by Ikezawa to emphasize the intense, disciplined nature of kendo, drawing inspiration from the technical rigor of the sport. While the series was intended to capture the enthusiasm seen in other popular sports manga, its reception was tempered by the highly competitive landscape of the magazine at the time. It eventually concluded in 2013, remaining a niche but well-regarded entry for those interested in depictions of sword fighting within the manga medium.
