The fifth and latest Gintama television anime series premiered on January 8, and the show began airing reruns in April.
The manga inspired a television anime that premiered in 2006 and continued (with several extended hiatuses) until 2013.
The official website for the live-action Gintama net show announced on Thursday that the show will adapt the “Mitsuba Arc” of Hideaki Sorachi’s original manga.
The series will depict the tumultuous past between Sougo and Hijikata, and the tragic love between Mitsuba and Hijikata.
