VIZ Media adds a riveting new title to its Weekly Shonen Jump lineup with the launch of RWBY in this week’s issue of the world’s most popular manga magazine.

RWBY is an action-driven adventure inspired by the popular online anime series created by Monty Oum and produced by Austin, TX-based Rooster Teeth Productions. The manga is set in the future-fantasy World of Remnant and introduces readers to a group of four young adventurers who train at Beacon Academy to become Huntsmen and Huntresses in order to protect their world from monsters. The RWBY manga is written and illustrated by Shirow Miwa, who is widely acclaimed for his series Dogs: Bullets and Carnage.

A special FREE Chapter 1 of RWBY is available in the SHONEN JUMP section of the VIZ website. New RWBY digital chapters will be available exclusively to Weekly Shonen Jump subscribers every Monday.

In RWBY, humans and beasts once coexisted peacefully in the magical World of Remnant. Now they are at fierce odds. Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long are Team RWBY, classmates at the Beacon Academy, learning the deadly craft of hunting the monstrous species known as the Grimm.
