The February issue of Akita Shoten’s Champion RED magazine announced on Monday that Toei Animation is producing the anime of Chimaki Kuori’s Saint Seiya: Saintia Shō spinoff manga.
Kuori’s previous works include Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny: The Edge, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny: The Edge Desire, and the manga adaptations of the Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack film and the Sengoku Basara games.
Champion RED teased last month that it will have an important announcement for the Saint Seiya franchise.
The manga is set immediately after the main storyline’s Sanctuary arc after the defeat of Gemini Saga from Masami Kurumada’s original Saint Seiya manga, but before the Posieidon arc.
