The series, which followed a kind-hearted debt collector navigating Japan’s underworld, will be released as a single compiled volume this fall, offering fans one last chance to experience the entire story in one place.

Enma centers on Ken Ōshima, an unusually kind man who accepts an extraordinary challenge: to recover a staggering five billion yen (approximately US$35 million) in outstanding debts. From gangsters to corrupt politicians, no target is off-limits in Ken’s mission. As he confronts dangerous elements of Japanese society, the series explores themes of morality, duty, and the personal cost of justice.
Hiroshi Motomiya launched Enma in Weekly Young Jump magazine on January 9, 2025. The manga entered a brief hiatus in March, and this week’s 26th issue of Weekly Young Jump published the climactic final chapter. A compiled volume is set to ship this fall, giving readers a complete collection of Ken Ōshima’s journey.
Enma is the latest work in Motomiya’s long and varied career. In June 2024, he also began Jinsei Iroiro (The Variety of Life) in Grand Jump. Just last year, he concluded Takeki Ōgon no Kuni: Takahashi Korekiyo, part of his acclaimed historical manga series chronicling real-life Japanese figures.
Motomiya, who debuted as a manga artist in 1965, remains one of the medium’s most respected veterans. Many of his works, including Otoko Ippiki Gaki Daisho, Ore no Sora, and Otokogi, have been adapted into anime and live-action films.
Of course, Motomiya is best known globally for Salaryman Kintaro, the hit manga about a former biker gang member turned corporate salaryman. The series has inspired a 2001 anime, multiple live-action dramas, and two recent live-action films released in 2025.
Ken Ōshima
The protagonist of Enma, Ken is an uncommonly gentle and moral man working as a debt collector. Despite the danger of his job, he maintains a sense of compassion and justice, making him a compelling and complex hero.
Hiroshi Motomiya (Creator)
While not a character in the manga, Motomiya’s signature storytelling style—blending realism, human drama, and social commentary—is very much a “character” of its own in Enma. His lifelong commitment to exploring Japanese society continues to resonate with readers.
With Enma now complete, readers can look forward to the upcoming compiled volume this fall. Given Hiroshi Motomiya’s enduring creativity, fans are eager to see what the legendary author will tackle next.
