Afternoon magazine is revealing on March 7 that Kenji Inoue and Kimitake Yoshioka’s Grand Blue Dreaming (Grand Blue) manga is getting a television anime adaptation.
The manga was nominated in the Best General Manga category at Kodansha’s 41st annual Manga Awards last year.
The official website for the AnimeJapan 2018 convention previously briefly listed that Avex Pictures will introduce a number of new works at the event, including a “new Grand Blue anime.”
The manga marks the first time Inoue is authoring an original manga work.
