The rumors are confirmed. Mou Ippon! is coming to the anime world soon.
Yuu Maruoka’s work confirmed his anime adaptation this Wednesday, in the latest issue of Weekly Shounen Champion magazine. Publisher’s magazine Akita Shoten has been home to the play since 2018, so its leap into the anime world marks a new era for its fans.
As we have discussed in the past, an adaptation of this type, even before it begins, serves to boost sales of the original manga, strengthening the franchise with its mere existence.
Details about the adaptation have not yet been published, so in that aspect it is still necessary to wait for the names that will carry out this work.
A little more Mou Ippon!
‘Mou Ippon!’ began its publication in October 2018 in Akita Shoten publisher’s Shounen Champion magaz ine with mangaka Yuu Maruoka doing the story and illustrations.
Currently the manga is still in publication and has compiled a total of 12 tankobon volumes, the twelfth and last one to date in April 2021 and which takes us to the competitive world of judo.
In the story Sonoda Michi was planning to retire from judo after she failed to achieve satisfactory results during the national elementary championship.
At a defining moment in her step into adolescence, Michi is led by the hand of her best friend, Sanae Takigawa, and her championship opponent, Eien Hyoura, back to judo, returning to the discipline she loves so much.
Although she is carried away by what seems like good intentions from her classmates, the reality is that the school club is about to close, so they need as many members as possible if they want to continue practicing discipline.
