Given Sequel Anime Film to Have 2 Parts
posted on by Alex Mateo
The official website for the sequel anime film based on Natsuki Kizu's Given manga announced on Friday that the film will have two parts. The website also streamed a retrospective video for the series:
Somehow, the guitar that he used to love to play and the basketball games that he found so fun just lost their appeal...That was until Ritsuka Uenoyama randomly met Mafuyu Sato. Ritsuka had started losing his passion for music in his everyday life, but then he hears Mafuyu sing for the first time. The song resonates with his heart and the distance between them starts to change.
An anime film based on the manga opened in Japan in May 2020. Crunchyroll is streaming the film.
An original anime disc (or original video anime) titled Given: Uragawa no Sonzai (Given - on the other hand) – which focused on Mafuyu and Ritsuka during the events of the Given movie – shipped with the limited edition of the manga's seventh volume in December 2021. Crunchyroll started streaming the OVA episode in July 2022.
Kizu launched the manga in Shinshokan's Cheri+ magazine in 2014. Shinshokan published the manga's eighth compiled book volume in October 2022. Viz Media's SuBLime imprint for boys-love manga has licensed the series, and the seventh volume shipped in English on January 10. The manga ended on March 30.
A live-action series adaptation of the manga premiered on Fuji TV's FOD (Fuji TV On Demand) streaming service in July 2021. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan.
