Tenmaku Cinema

Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, a popular publication known for its manga content, recently made an exciting announcement about the launch of four new manga series. Among these new releases is ***Tenmaku Cinema*** (テンマクキネマ,?), the latest work by Yuuto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki, the renowned creators behind the hit manga Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma. ***Tenmaku Cinema*** is set to debut on April 10, 2023, in the magazine's 19th issue.

The manga centers around Hajime, a high school student who possesses a deep passion for movies. While Tsukuda and Saeki's previous work was centered around the world of cuisine, their new creation is a refreshing departure from that theme. Tenmaku Cinema promises to take readers on a thrilling journey as they follow Hajime's story and explore the intricacies of his love for films.

## Premise

*Tenmaku Cinema* introduces fans to a boy named Hajime Shinichi, who loves movies but was reluctant to try and make his own. That is until the spirit of a young screenwriter who passed away 30 years ago returns to the living world and attaches himself to him.

To help this spirit pass on, Hajime realizes that he now needs to make the movie that this screenwriter was never able to make himself. Recruiting a talented actress who's also someone who goes to his school, Hajime's now setting out on a wild new path towards making a movie that will help this spirit pass on someday.

Viz Media released weekly English chapters of the manga on its app and website and published the compiled book volumes in English. Shueisha also digitally published the manga in English on its MANGA Plus service.

After the conclusion of Food Wars!
