Takeshi Hinata’s (日向武史) manga series Ahiru no Sora (あひるの空) finally gets a TV adaption after 14 years of serialisation on Weekly Shonen Jump.
An anime teaser picture is available, showing the protagonist Kurumatani Sora.
149cm tall Kurumatani Sora enters Kuzuryu High School’s basketball club with the aim to win the high school tournament. To his surprise, the club is just a base for delinquents and short of members – it is close to being disbanded. Sora then pours all his heart into reviving the club and inspires other unmotivated members to practise hard.
The anime is directed by Keizo Kusakawa (Kantai Collection) at Diomedéa and written by Go Zappa (Blend S). The release date is not yet confirmed.
