Manga creator Takafumi Adachi revealed on Twitter on Tuesday that he has launched a new Animagear manga based on Bandai Candy's toy franchise of the same name in this year's June issue of Shogakukan's Monthly Coro Coro Ichiban! magazine, which shipped on Tuesday. Yoshihiro Ichiha is credited as the work's original creator, and tyuga is the character designer.
The franchise's main human characters are Kyо̄ Amakusa (pictured above left) and Sakura Momiji (above right).
Bandai Candy launched the Animagear toy line, which consists of miniature plastic robot model kits, in August 2019. The franchise debuted with Sonic Eagllet, Dualize Kabuto, Dualize Kabuto Army-Type, Galeo Striker, and Arms Guillotecker as the first five robots.
Adachi serialized the 11-volume Metal Fight Beyblade manga in Shogakukan's Coro Coro Comics magazine in 2008.
