The manga’s editor stated on X/Twitter that the manga will be about a middle-aged man who goes to America to look for the famed buried treasure of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Comic Bunch Kai added the manga will take place in the Kyoho era (1716-1736), during the reign of Tokugawa Yoshimune. During this time, public finances were in decline, and the shogunate turned to trying to find the hidden treasure of Tokugawa Ieyasu to solve the issue. A man who is a shinobi goes to America to search for it in order to save Japan.
Ōgaki launched the Crazy Food Truck manga in Shinchosha‘s Monthly Comic @Bunch magazine in July 2020, and ended it in December 2021. Shinchosha published the manga’s third and final volume in February 2022. Viz Media has released all three volumes in English.
Ōgaki launched a manga adaptation of the The Unlimited – Hyōbu Kyōsuke spinoff anime in Shogakukan‘s Shōnen Sunday Super magazine in 2013, and ended it in 2015 with six volumes. He and Shinichi Inotsume published Hōrōsha, a two-chapter manga spinoff of both Takashi Shiina‘s Zettai Karen Children and The Unlimited – Hyōbu Kyōsuke stories, in Shogakukan‘s Shōnen Sunday S magazine in 2015.
Ōgaki’s manga adaptation of Too Kyo Games and Studio Pierrot‘s original television anime series Akudama Drive launched on Renta! in July 2020, and ended with the ninth volume in May 2023. Renta! is also publishing the manga digitally in English.
