Chuosha has announced that the October issue of Champion Red (due out August 18th) will include an audio CD with a reading of the first chapter from Norio Nanjo’s novel Suruga-jou Gozen Jiai (Suruga Castle Contest), from which the story of Takayuki Yamaguchi’s manga and the newly-airing anime Shigurui came.

And the best part is that the reading will be done by none other than Norio Wakamoto himself. SCORE.
