The official Shōnen Sunday S magazine on November 24. The serialization will be the first new chapter in the manga in 20 years.
The live-action series will premiere on NTV's Nichiyō Drama time slot on Sunday. The new series marks the first live-action adaptation for the manga in about 21 years.
The manga's story centers on the blond delinquent high school student Shinji Itō, a fellow high school student who is serious and dutiful with a strong sense of justice.
Nishimori's manga ran in Weekly Shonen Sunday magazines from 1988 to 1997. The series' 38 compiled book volumes have a total of more than 40 million copies in print.
The manga inspired an original video anime series in 1992, and Toei released a V-Cinema direct-to-video live-action series inspired by the manga from 1992 to 1997. The V-Cinema series' cast and staff also reprised their roles for a live-action film adaptation that debuted in 1994.
