Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ service announced on Thursday that Eco Mikawa's Oblivion Battery (Bōkyaku Battery) baseball manga will go on hiatus, and will return on September 4.

Shueisha's MANGA Plus service started publishing the manga simultaneously with its Japanese release on Thursday, and describes the story:

The monster battery duo, once feared by all, turns up at...an ordinary public school?! A group of genius baseballers cross paths in the most unlikely of places...!

Mikawa launched the manga on the Shonen Jump+ website in April 2018. Shueisha published the manga's 21st compiled book volume on April 4.

The first season of the manga's anime adaptation premiered in April 2024. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan. The series starred Toshiki Masuda as Haruka Kiyomine and Mamoru Miyano as Kei Kaname. The anime will get a second season.

The manga inspired an event anime by MAPPA in October 2020 as part of "Jump Special Anime Festa 2020." Miyano also played Kei in the event anime.

The anime is also inspiring a stage play adaptation that will run in Tokyo and Osaka in October.
