This year’s 26th issue of Akita Shonen’s Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine is revealing on Thursday that Wataru Watanabe’s Yowamushi Pedal manga will receive a live-action television drama adaptation.
Wataru Watanabe launched the manga in Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine in 2008, and the story inspired stage plays, two television anime adaptations, and a spinoff manga, Yowamushi Pedal: Spare Bike.
The Spare Bike spinoff will also receive an anime adaptation with a two-week run in theaters this September.
The manga has also inspired two anime compilation films, as well as an anime film with an original story, the latter of which opened in August 2015.
