The February issue of Kodansha’s Shonen Magazine Edge magazine revealed on Wednesday that a manga adaptation of Megalobox — the spinoff television anime based on Ikki Kajiwara (pen name Asao Takamori) and Tetsuya Chiba’s Ashita no Joe manga — will launch in the next issue on February 17.
The manga inspired multiple television anime series and films, as well as a live-action film that opened in Japan in 2011 starring Tomohisa Yamashita.
The manga is titled Megalobox – Shukumei no Sōken (Megalobox – The Twin Fists of Fate), and Chikara Sakuma is drawing the manga.
A crucial twist in the Ashita no Joe television anime’s plot made headlines in Japan as people marked the occasion with public ceremonies.
