The Mainichi Shimbun paper's Mantan Web feature has confirmed that Chinyūki will be the third manga by avant-garde gag story creator Man-gatarō to be animated with Flash software for DVD release next year. The first story to be animated, Jigoku Kōshien (Hell Baseball Tournament or Battlefield Baseball), will follow in the spring. Chinyūki will come out in the summer.
Chinyūki spoofs adventure manga by retelling Weekly Shonen Jump from 1990 to 1992, and 4 million copies of the six compiled volumes have been sold.
