Hinodeya also drew a one-shot for Splatoon 2, and will launch a new Splatoon manga in May.
North American publisher Viz Media announced during its C2E2 panel on Friday that it has licensed Sankichi Hinodeya’s Splatoon manga and plans to release the first volume in late 2017.
Hinodeya initially published a Splatoon one-shot manga in Shogakukan’s Coro Coro Comics in May 2015, and then began it as a series in Bessatsu Coro Coro Comic Special in February 2016.
The first game also inspired Kino Takahashi’s Honobono Ika 4-Koma manga and the Play Manga story collection by various artists.
