The July issue of Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine revealed on Thursday character designs and two new cast members for this summer’s television anime of Kotono Katō’s historical fantasy manga Altair: A Record of Battles (Shōkoku no Altair).
The magazine serialized Shiina Soga’s Shōkoku no Altair-san (Altair of the Tiny Nation) spinoff manga from 2012 to 2013, and Hirokazu Kobayashi and Chika Katō’s Shōkoku no Altair Kaiden Tōkoku no Subaru spinoff series launched this past January.
The series inspired the Shōkoku no! four-panel manga on Sirius’ official website in 2012.
Katō launched the manga in Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine in 2007, and the 18th compiled book volume shipped on January 17.
