Marvel and Kadokawa Unveil New Spider-Man Manga for 2026

Marvel Comics and Kadokawa have officially revealed the protagonist of their upcoming manga series, confirming that Peter Parker will not appear in this new iteration. The collaboration, initially announced during San Diego Comic-Con in July, features five new titles launching on the Kadocomi platform later this year.

The lead character is Haruto Hachidori, a high school student residing in Shibuya who gains mysterious spider abilities after being bitten. As he navigates his new powers while swinging through the city streets, a shadowy threat begins to emerge within the same district. The series is illustrated by Tokitokoro, known for work on Jeff the Land Shark, and will also introduce localized versions of Daredevil and the Punisher.

Additionally, an untitled Spider-Gwen title written and illustrated by Ryusei Yamada was detailed. This version follows Gwen Stacy, a high school drummer who becomes Spider-Woman after acquiring superhuman abilities from a radioactive spider bite in a laboratory setting.

Anime News Network reported on September 30 that Kadokawa unveiled details for Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen manga titles.
