Qiang Jin Jiu Re-Launches Manhua Adaptation

The manhua adaptation of Qiang Jin Jiu is happening! Again! But it’s happening!

After unexpectedly dropping and halting the manhua adaptation of Qiang Jin Jiu in August 2023, the question of when Qiang Jin Jiu‘s manhua would once again return was up in the air. The manhua released its first chapter but has been on hiatus, likely due to the negative comments from netizenson the art style After six months, Qiang Jin Jiu has announced the manhua will release on Feb. 13 with a new art style and has released character key visuals for Xiao Chiye and Shen Zechuan.

Written by Tang Jiuqing, Qiang Jin Jiu is an enemies to lovers story that begins with a rather violent first meeting between Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye. Fuelled by his hatred towards Shen Zechuan and his father, Xiao Chiye kicked Shen Zechuan in the chest so hard, it almost killed him. Shen Zechuan survived, but from then on, the two always wanted to tear the other’s head off when they came face to face. Intertwining political conspiracies, war, a richly-developed setting and a bittersweet (but emphasis on the sweet) relationship, Qiang Jin Jiu is a story beloved by many fans.

The Qiang Jin Jiu manhua will release on Bilibili on Feb. 13. There are no announcements for an official English translation as of this article’s publication. An audio drama is available on MaoerFM with two seasons.

Seven Seas has licensed the book for an official English translation and will release the first volume on June 4, 2024.
