The original Baki The Grappler manga marks its 25th anniversary this year, and Weekly Shōnen Champion will mark the occasion with an expanded 43rd issue that includes “fan-anticipated plans and news” on September 21.
Itagaki’s Baki the Grappler martial arts manga ran in Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine from 1991 to 1999, followed by Baki from 1999 to 2005.
This year’s 32nd issue of Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine is announcing on Thursday that an anime adaptation of Keisuke Itagaki’s Baki manga is launching.
Yukinao Yamauchi (Baki Gaiden – Scarface) launched Baki Gaiden: Kizuzura, a Baki the Grappler spinoff, in the inaugural issue of Bessatsu Shōnen Champion magazine in 2012.
