The baseball coming-of-age manga The Days of Diamond is set to return to Weekly Young Jump on June 4, 2026, ending its latest hiatus after months of uncertainty. Written and illustrated by Ōhashi Hirai, the series follows fifth-grader Jiro Ayasegawa as his talent isolates him until he joins the Adachi Bambies. Serialized since February 2023, it has repeatedly paused, most recently starting earlier in 2026 before this confirmed comeback. English readers can follow via Manga Plus.
MLB’s players association is teaming with VIZ Media and artist Acky Bright to create GalaXic Baseball League, a sci-fi manga set in outer space. The series debuts digitally in July 2026 and in print in Fall 2026, featuring active MLB stars in an interplanetary storyline. It’s billed as the first original comic property with official MLB licensing for current player likenesses.
