TABOO TATTOO GN (2025)

"By all accounts, middle schooler Seigi is pretty unremarkable except for his martial arts prowess and a desire to protect the weak. But when his good intentions are put to the test by saving an old homeless man from some street thugs, the mysterious man shows his gratitude by burning a tattoo onto Seigi's palm! It turns out, the tattoo is a powerful secret weapon that everyone - including a formidable girl with a tattoo of her own - is after. With his life on the line and his martial arts skills alone no match against super-powered foes, will Seigi be able to unlock the latent potential of his tattoo and live to fight another day?"

"Seigi, once an ordinary middle schooler, has been tattooed on the palm of his hand with a super-ancient weapon called a spell crest and, because of it, he's been caught in the middle of a war between America and the kingdom of Selinstan! Seigi is enlisted by an American military girl named Easy in order to help recover more spell crests, and a new crisis arises when Easy's colleague, Lisa, is attacked by the kingdom and kidnapped. What will happen to Seigi and Easy in the face of a dangerous enemy?"

"This is what you call some serious ink! Determined to carve his own path, Seigi sets out to face the assassin from Selinistan head-on! But will his training with the Void Maker be enough for him to emerge victorious? And what is the 'truth' of the Void Maker Spell Crest itself?"

"This is what you call some serious ink! Seigi's Spell Crest is unique in how it creates voids that can cause severe damage to the surrounding area. At least, that's what everyone thought. But now it seems like Princess Aryabhata of the kingdom of Selinistan, as well as the mysterious man called BB, also possess 'Infinite Spell Crests' just like Seigi!"

"Seigi gets his hands on something that has the power to rewrite reality itself! The power and action gets even bigger!"

"All seems lost for Seigi, but the courage to continue on can be found in the strangest of places. Seigi absorbed BB's soul before he was consumed by his Spell Crest, so he now has access to all of BB's memories-including the dark past of the Selinistan Kingdom and Princess Aryabhata herself. Could there be some key in those hidden memories that will lead to a brighter future?"

"A year has passed since Seigi went into hiding and began his new life with Professor Wiseman, and something about him has changed. Compared to the old Seigi, he's tougher, colder, and more aggressive. As he defends his hideout from an attack, he receives a challenge from the princess herself! The time has come for Seigi to show off the fruits of his training, for a grand battle in the Grand Canyon awaits!"

"This is what you call some serious ink! After a year of diligently preparing with Doctor Wiseman, Seigi finds himself locked in a life-or-death struggle with Princess Aryabhata at the Grand Canyon! How will their lengthy rivalry come to a close!?"

"This is what you call some serious ink! The long-awaited battle between Seiji and Princess Aryabhata begins in the Grand Canyon! Will Seigi be able to control his emotions, or will his hatred get the best of him?"

"This is what you call some serious ink! Seigi's struggle against the Kingdom continues in Volume 10 of Taboo Tattoo!"

"Seigi's battle at the ruins site in Antarctica comes to a head in Volume 12 of Taboo Tattoo!"
