Sometimes it’s fun to think about how Japan seems to have at least one hit manga series for every sport imaginable–including cycling.
The hit manga-turned-anime is about to receive its first live-action adaptation for television.
This particular niche is filled by none other than Wataru Watanabe’s breakaway hit Yowamushi Pedal, which follows the adventures of the fictional Sohoku High School’s cycling club members.
The new series will air on BS SKY PerfecTV! starting in August, with a special broadcast including on-location cast member interviews rumored to air in July.
