Wataru Watanabe launched the manga in Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine in 2008, and the story inspired two television anime adaptations, and a spinoff manga, Yowamushi Pedal: Spare Bike.
The manga is also getting a live-action series adaptation that contains much of the regular cast for the stage plays, including Ryūtarō Akimoto.
The previous installment titled Butai Yowamushi Pedal ~Sōhoku Shinsedai, Shidō~ ran from March 4 to 27.
Kujirai, Yashima, and Miyazaki are also playing the role of the same characters in the manga’s upcoming live-action series adaptation.
