Ryuhei Kitamura, the director for the previous Sky High live-action series and film, returns to direct the film.
Takahashi launched his first Sky High paranormal manga series in 2001, and it spawned other spinoff manga such as Sky High Karma and Skyhigh: Shinshō.
Takahashi launched the Tenmasō no Sanshimai – Sky High manga in Shueisha’s Grand Jump magazine in August 2013, and ended it with its fourth volume in October 2014.
It also inspired two live-action television series in 2003 and 2004, as well as a 2003 film from Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus, Baton, Azumi).
