A New Chinese Buddy Tale Launches

The much-anticipated tale of friendship and growth in the form of a unique Chinese buddy adventure has officially begun! The comic adaptation of Hiyoku wa Renri wo Nozomanai launches in Comic Ride Ivy Vol. 30, published by Micro Magazine (Chuo, Tokyo) on July 22, 2025, featuring chapters one and two from this enthralling story.

About the Comic

Hiyoku wa Renri wo Nozomanai tells the story of Ban Okuki, a rookie spirit exorcist who struggles to find his place in a world filled with supernatural challenges. Engaged in the battle against malevolent youkai, Ban Okuki, often dismissed as a failure, unexpectedly finds himself trapped within a barrier at a secluded estate while fleeing from creatures of the night. Here, he encounters the beautiful and flawless exorcist, Hiryu. Despite possessing immense talent, Hiryu refuses to engage in battle. In a twist of fate, Ban Okuki steps up, determined to confront evil forces in place of the skilled exorcist.

This narrative beautifully explores themes of failure, redemption, and the dynamics of an unlikely partnership. The artistry of Liang Seizuru, paired with the original story by Anzaki Yoshino and character design by Shima, delivers an engaging and visually captivating experience.

Special Features in Vol. 30

In this issue, alongside the compelling narrative of Hiyoku wa Renri wo Nozomanai, readers can also delve into the follow-up of the previously published one-shot story, Yakahana no Hanayome by Chikusa Akari, which adds another layer of storytelling to the magazine.
