About the Source Material
The anime is based on the **Sanda** action mystery manga by the acclaimed creator `Itagaki Paru`, who is also widely known for the hit series **Beastars**.
`Itagaki Paru` began drawing **Sanda** in `Weekly Shounen Champion` back in July 2021, approximately nine months after wrapping up **Beastars**. The manga recently concluded its three-year run on July 11th, 2024, bringing the story to a close. Akita Shoten is scheduled to publish the 16th and final volume of the manga in October 2024.
Fans outside of Japan can look forward to the manga as well, as Titan Comics licensed it for English release. The first volume is slated to arrive on September 2nd.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the October premiere!
