Since the end of its broadcast in September 2022, the animated series Ao Ashi had no longer gave any news, so that some perhaps feared that the adaptation of the eponymous manga of Yûgo Kobayashi does not go further. But the good news was unveiled yesterday: a saison 2 is indeed in production!
This will be created in 2026 and will change hands. Indeed, if the studio Production I.G. assured the development of the first season, it is TMS Entertainment which is in charge of this suite. The studio is well known for sagas Lupin III et Detective Conanand more recently for adaptations such as Dr. Stone, Rent-A-Girlfriend or Sakamoto Days.
We do not know more, including with regard to the staff. It remains to be seen if the talents having worked on the first season will re -stack for this sequelae. However, a first visual was unveiled by official networks.
While waiting to learn more, the first season remains available in SVOD on the platform Crunchyroll. As for manga Ao Ashi From Yûgo Kobayashi, he is published in our regions by editions Mangetsu With 27 volumes available. In Japan, the series will end soon with its 40th volume. Within the editorial staff, the work was able to capture our interest, whether for its subtle writing, its deep and striking characters, its permanent matching matches, or its realistic football approach. Last July, we had the joy of meeting the author of the manga alongside certain colleagues, an interview that you can find at this address.
