The official website of the Paripi Koumei (Ya Boy Kongming!) television anime announced a compilation movie, subtitled Road to Summer Sonia, on Wednesday. The movie is a re-edited version of the television anime, featuring new footage, and is scheduled to premiere in Japanese theaters on March 1, 2024.
Produced by P.A. Works, the 12-episode television anime aired in Spring 2022. HIDIVE simulcast the anime worldwide, excluding Asia.
Paripi Koumei adapts Yuuto Yotsuba and Ryou Ogawa's comedy drama manga, which began in Comic Days magazine in December 2019 before transferring to Weekly Young Magazine in November 2021. Kodansha shipped the 15th volume on October 5. The manga has a cumulative 2 million copies of its volumes in circulation.
Kodansha USA licensed the manga for digital release in English in May 2021. The 13th volume went on sale on September 19, and the 14th volume is scheduled to be released on December 19.
Synopsis
Zhuge Kongming earned a reputation as one of the greatest tacticians of the Three Kingdoms period of third-century China. Having led his army through countless grueling victories, Kongming falls gravely ill during the Battle of Wuzhang Plains. The weariness and regret stemming from the seemingly never-ending war catch up to him, and as he draws his final breath, Kongming wishes that if he were to reincarnate, he would be reborn in a more peaceful era.
His wish comes true, and Kongming wakes up in modern-day Tokyo with a younger body and his memories intact. Thrust into an unfamiliar world, he finds his way into a nightclub and meets Eiko Tsukimi, an aspiring singer whose performance immediately captivates him. Pitying his confusion, Eiko takes Kongming under her wing and teaches him about the current world, which leads to Kongming's interest in contemporary music. Seeing Eiko's immense musical potential, Kongming vows to make the world recognize her and soon takes on the role of her manager.
Unsurprisingly, the music industry is unforgiving to those who make even the slightest mistakes. Still, Kongming is determined to accomplish his goals—even if he must utilize the war stratagems he famously used in his previous life! [Written by MAL Rewrite]
