Hikaru no Go stage play coming!

Felt like I needed to inform tumblr's VIBRANT Hikaru no Go fandom that a stage play will be performed in Ikebukuro this year (2024) July 5-14!

"This year's 21st issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine announced on Monday that Takeshi Obata and Yumi Hotta's Hikaru no Go manga will receive a stage play adaptation in Ikebukuro in July titled Uta Emaki "Hikaru no Go" Jyo no Itte (Song Picture Scroll "Hikaru no Go": The First Move). [...] Nobuhiro Mōri will direct, script, and write the lyrics for the music in the show. Shinnosuke Motoyama will choreograph and stage the show. Shunsuke Wada will compose the music, and Mitsuhiro Akiyama will be in charge of art. The show will run at the Sunshine Theater from July 5-14."

Diamond no kouzai

yayyy baseball manga yayyyy

diamond no kouzai is about ayasegawa who is naturally very gifted at sports which alienates him from his peers. He takes up baseball on whim and just wants to play for fun but because of his raw natural talent the people in his life push him to further his baseball carrier which makes him even more distanced from the people around him.

this manga makes me sad. aya just wants to make friends and play a sport he likes without hurting anyone and that is seemly impossible for him because the people around him see him as a threat. Hes only 11 but hes already the best pitcher in the WORLD (under 12). I hope he gets some nice friends but based on the opening line that seems sadly unlikely. I still found it captivating and look forward to what happens next

(yet another baseball manga about autism smh)

Medalist Volume 1 Review: All on The Rink

Medalist made a splash when it first began publication, and since that fateful day has remained central to the contemporary popularity and critical acclaim of the medium. And after reading, it's clear as day why it's been able to hold such focus and respect. Tsurumaikada's work on this figure skating manga produces a sports story for the ages, full of nuance and bursting with appeal and creativity. It's a no brainer for any type of sports manga fan out there, and you'll find out why in the full review on Animehouse.

News - Youichi Takahashi, creator of the iconic soccer manga Captain Tsubasa, announced that he will be retiring from serialized manga. From the article above:

Takahashi explained that he had been thinking over the past few years about whether he would continue or finish drawing the manga. He calculated that it may take over 40 years to finish the story. As such, instead of pushing his body to the limit, he concluded that it would be better to stop serialization. Takahashi is over 60 years old, and he considers himself to be in good health. However, due to presbyopia, the gradual loss of the eyes' ability to focus on nearby objects, he is experiencing poorer eyesight and dizziness. The combination of his condition, COVID-19 affecting staff structure, the switch to digital methods for drawing manga, and the death of Dokaben baseball manga creator Shinji Mizushima in January 2022 all factored into his decision. Takahashi is considering drafting storyboards that continue the story past the manga's final chapters.

While the original Captain Tsubasa manga ended in 1988, Takahashi has been making sequela, one-shots, and spin-off manga for it consistently since it's "ending". The series is popular all over the world (especially where soccer/foot ball is the reining sport), and has been released in multiple languages. Sadly, the original series was never released in the US (though we have gotten some of the spin-off anime and video games). Captain Tsubasa is a titan of sports manga and anime, so thank you Takahashi-sensei for your years of hard work and inspiring manga!

Kodansha Announce License For Classic Sports Manga Ashita No Joe

Yes, you read that correctly. Ashita No Joe, a foundational manga from the 70s about boxing, was just announced as a shock license from Kodansha USA. And as an 8 volume hardcover deluxe edition at that. An insane piece of news in its own right, but it plays an incredibly important role (alongside Kodansha's comment about the license) in how the future of manga in North America may yet end up.
