Viz also released Fumihiko Sori’s live-action film adaptation of Matsumoto’s Ping Pong manga, while Funimation released the Ping Pong anime series and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released the Tekkonkinkreet anime film.
The magazine describes the manga as a “requiem for the anguished, lost, and wandering in life over 50.”
With Japan entering a new era, the story centers on Shiosawa, a former manga editor for a major publisher.
The May issue of Shogakukan’s Big Comic Original Zōkan magazine revealed on Friday that manga creator Taiyo Matsumoto will launch a new manga titled Tokyo Higoro (Tokyo Everyday) in the magazine’s July issue on June 12.
