Kounen Shimabukuro, the author of Legend of the End of the Century Leader, has begun serialization of his latest manga, which is scheduled to be titled "トリコ," which translates to "Captive of Gourmet" in Chinese. A mega new serialization of a foodie saga with an overpowering appetite and a quest for delicacies yet to be seen is the theme of this manga.
