This year’s 26th issue of Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine revealed on Wednesday that Yoshitoki Ōima (A Silent Voice) will launch his new fantasy manga this fall.
Kyoto Animation is adapting the manga into an anime film with Naoko Yamada (Tamako Market, Tamako Love Story, K-ON’s two anime seasons and anime film) directing.
Ōima began his A Silent Voice (Koe no Katachi) manga as a one-shot in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in 2011, and then turned the story into a full series in the main Shonen Magazine in August 2013.
Kodansha Comics is publishing the manga in print in North America, and it released the seventh and final volume on Tuesday.
