The manga inspired a 1991 television anime series and a second 1992-1993 television anime series.
The new manga, titled Seishōnen Ashibe, follows Ashibe and Sugao as first-year high school students.
This year’s August issue of Futabasha’s Monthly Action magazine announced on Saturday that a new Shōnen Ashibe manga series will launch in the next issue on July 25.
The new anime in turn inspired a manga adaptation from Morishita and Junko Ogino.
