At 69, Go Nagai is definitely a name and force all unto himself and that shows no signs of slowing down. The Go Nagai brand is also strong as it serves a part of the market that tends to get little attention in general and even less when it comes to bringing those works to life in anime form. According to the Japanese Big Comic site, they’ve updated to reveal some new works coming to the magazine which includes a new Go Nagai work called Devilman Saga. This comes after the Devilman G manga completed earlier this year and a few other books that have run their course from the production that he runs with a number of assistants. Thee’s no details as to what the new series is about at this time other than that it will start in the December 25th issue.
