The Wait Begins! Aoashi Brotherfoot Spinoff Returns in 2026!

Hold onto your soccer cleats, Noon Anime readers, because we've got some massive, bittersweet news from the world of Aoashi! Remember that fantastic spinoff, Aoashi Brotherfoot, that gave us a deeper look into the life and struggles of Shun Aoi? The one that ran for a tantalizingly short 5 chapters back in 2021 and left us all wanting more? Well, get ready to cheer, because it's officially coming back!

Now for the kick—we're going to have to wait a bit. And by a bit, we mean you'll want to circle April 2026 on your calendars! Yes, you read that right. The continuation of Shun's story is still a ways off. While the wait might feel as long as a championship match going into extra time, it's a concrete date we can all look forward to. This gives everyone plenty of time to re-read the original manga, re-watch the incredible anime, and get hyped all over again for the Aoi brothers' journey!

So, why the long delay? The news comes as a double-edged sword, as famed mangaka Yūgo Kobayashi's brand-new, as-yet-untitled manga series has unfortunately been delayed. It seems the creator is pouring his energy into this new project first. While we're sad to hear about the delay, it confirms that he hasn't forgotten about the fans eagerly awaiting the return of Brotherfoot. It's a classic case of good news, bad news, but we're choosing to be hyped that more amazing manga is on the way!
