Popular Manga Series Gets New Anime Adaptation
The popular manga "YAIBA" by Gosho Aoyama is getting a new anime adaptation. Along with this announcement, a special illustration drawn by Aoyama and a teaser video have been released.
Originally, "YAIBA" was serialized from 1988 to 1993 in Weekly Shonen Sunday and spans 24 volumes. The story follows Yaiba Kurogane, an unconventional young swordsman who trains with his father in the jungle. Fate brings him back to Japan, where he lives with the Mine family and attends school. There, he encounters his rival Onimaru, leading to fierce sword battles. The plot intensifies when Onimaru obtains the "Legendary Demon Sword," thrusting Yaiba into a grand adventure. The action-packed series ended just one month before the debut of Aoyama's hit "Detective Conan." The manga was previously adapted into a TV anime titled "Legendary Sword Fighter YAIBA" in 1993.
Aoyama is deeply involved in the new anime and has written the entire script. In the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday (released on May 8), Aoyama shared his excitement: "Whether you know Yaiba or not, please check it out! It's fantastic!!!" This issue also includes Aoyama's special illustration as a poster.
