Digital Manga Inc.’s (DMI) Kickstarter page for the campaign for Izumi Matsumoto’s Kimagure Orange Road manga updated on Saturday to update backers on Matsumoto’s medical condition.
Matsumoto’s Kimagure Orange Road manga series ran in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1984 to 1987.
AnimEigo released the television anime series, the first movie, and the later video anime series, while ADV Films handled the second movie, Kimagure Orange Road: Summer’s Beginning.
Digital Manga Inc. successfully ran a Kickstarter campaign earlier this year to re-translate and publish the manga into English.
