The official Twitter account for the LINE Manga app launched a prequel manga for Kana Ozawa’s Blue Thermal -Aonagi Daigaku Taiiku-kai Kōkū-bu- (Aonagi College Sports Festival Aviation Club) manga titled Blue Thermal: First Flight on Saturday.
The manga previously inspired a 12-minute virtual reality film titled Blue Thermal VR -Hajimari no Sora- that debuted in July 2018.
The manga centers on Tamaki Tsuru, who was on sports teams throughout her entire school life until high school, but is instead seeking an active romantic life once she enters college.
The manga is inspiring an anime film adaptation that will open in Japan in March 2022.
