This week we're diving into Centuria , Tohru Kuramori's brutal dark fantasy running on Shonen Jump+ and the solo debut from a former Chainsaw Man assistant. Julian is a boy sold into slavery by his own mother who stows away on a slave ship, where for the first time in his life he's shown real kindness by the other slaves, especially a pregnant woman named Mira. When the captain slaughters all one hundred slaves on board, an eldritch sea god strikes a deal: Julian inherits the combined strength, memories, and lives of every slave who died. Now carrying the weight of a hundred souls, he sets off into a cruel, monster filled world with one mission, raise Mira's newborn daughter and give her the life none of them ever got. It's got Berserk level art, Lovecraftian horror, and a heart built on found family and choosing kindness despite everything. This one goes hard.
