posted on by Joanna Cayanan
Sakakibara's manga launched on Comic Newtype in April 2022. BN Pictures is credited for the original story, Masafumi Nishida is credited for script and story direction, and Masakazu Katsura is credited for original character design and hero design. Kadokawa published the manga's first and second compiled book volumes simultaneously in March 2023, and the third and fourth volumes in April 2024.
Writer Erika Yoshida (Tiger & Bunny: The Comic) and artist Hiroshi Ueda launched a separate manga adaptation of the sequel anime titled Tiger & Bunny 2: The Comic on Shueisha's Tonari no Young Jump website, also in April 2022.
The 25-episode Tiger & Bunny 2 sequel anime started streaming on Netflix worldwide in April 2022. The sequel tells a new story set after the events of the Tiger & Bunny The Movie -The Rising- anime film.
The original Tiger & Bunny television anime series centers around heroes for hire — super powered beings known as NEXT who wear sponsor logos while fighting crime on live television.
The 2011 anime series spawned two anime movies: Tiger & Bunny the Movie: The Beginning in 2012 and Tiger & Bunny The Movie -The Rising- in 2014. Viz Media released the television series, the films, and the tie-in manga in North America.
Sakikabara's manga adaptation of the first Tiger & Bunny anime launched in 2012 in Kadokawa's Newtype Ace magazine. It then moved to Kadokawa's Niconico Ace digital magazine in 2013, and ended in 2014. Viz Media released Sakakibara's manga adaptation in English.
