Professional basketball players and brothers Robin and Brook Lopez, their older brother Christopher Lopez, and manga creator Tatsuz (Katsumi Tatsuzawa) launched the manga Transition Game last month.
Tatsuz was a former assistant of Takehiko Inoue, and worked alongside the manga creator on the Slam Dunk basketball manga.
Christopher Lopez is writing the story, with Robin and Brook Lopez as producers.
Inoue himself responded to Robin Lopez in English on Twitter on Monday, congratulating him on the new manga.
