Latest New Shonen Jump Manga Called Otr of the Flame

Shueisha announced its new Shonen Jump manga series is called Otr of the Flame. It can be found in English on both MangaPlus and Viz Media. Only the first chapter is available now. 

Otr lives in the Forest Kingdom, which ended up under siege by the Ice Kingdom. As a result, it’s basically winter all year round. He wanted to do something to help his sister Sanna and people in his community, even though he was considered too young and perhaps unsuitable to be a warrior. So he heads to the kingdom’s fortress to act as a cook. The fortress captain Alajoki noticed something unusual when Otr breathed on the fire there to “help it last longer,” and cautioned the boy while also assuring him he’ll meet his father in Valhalla and make him proud no matter what he does. When Ice Kingdom Captain Beezbl and his forces break in, things look dire, but Otr manages to fight back and get a chance to be the hero he dreamed of by protecting the flame. 

If the art or style looks familiar, it’s because mangaka Yuki Kawaguchi is something of an established creator. Previously, he worked on The Hunter’s Guild: Red Hood, following a 14th Gold Future Cup win. However, prior to this series, the creative previously tended to work on original one-shot series. 

This is the second new Shonen Jump manga series to debut in a row. May 2025 kicked off with Magical Girl and Narco War debuting. And at the end of April 2025, Nice Prison launched. War of the Adultsand GGG also showed up for the first time in April 2025.

Otr of the Flame is now running in Shonen Jump, with the first chapter available worldwide in multiple languages. Chapter two of the series will debut on May 18, 2025.
