Marvelous announced on Wednesday that the 2002 television anime of Daisuke Higuchi’s Whistle! soccer manga is getting a “voice remake” in 2017 to celebrate the anime’s 15th anniversary.
Whistle! centers on Sho Kazamatsuri, a boy who wants to play soccer, but is prohibited by his short stature.
MangaOne, the app for Shogakukan’s web comic magazine Ura Sunday, began reserializing the Whistle! manga in April.
Higuchi is launching a new Whistle! manga series on September 26 with new protagonists.
