The Ao Ashi anime might have come to an end, but Ashito’s story is just beginning. Thankfully for fans desperate to see what happens next, you can read Ao Ashi’s manga after the anime to continue the story!
The anime ends just as Ashito breaks into the A Team at Tokyo Esperion Youth, even going so far as to spotlight some of his new teammates! If you can’t be waiting for an Ao Ashi Season 2 announcement, the manga is your next best bet.
Where Should You Start Reading the Ao Ashi Manga After the Anime?
The Ao Ashi anime concluded with chapter 117 of the manga. Therefore, fans wanting to continue the story should start reading Ao Ashi from chapter 118.
Ao Ashi Chapter 117 is titled Rain and covers the emotional conversation between Ashito and Hana at the end of Season 1. Chapter 118, titled Team A Gathering, sees wonderkid Kuribayashi return to the youths from the first team, before Ashito and the others promoted from Team B join him in chapter 119.
For those wishing to collect volumes, the Ao Ashi anime ends at the beginning of volume 12, so you’ll want to start collecting from this point. However, the series isn’t widely distributed in English, as we’ll cover below.
How Many Chapters of Ao Ashi Have Been Released?
Currently, over 300 chapters of the Ao Ashi manga have been released.
The Ao Ashi manga is still ongoing, with chapters released in Weekly Big Comic Spirits magazine. The manga has also been collected into 29 volumes, with the latest released late in 2022.
So, if you’re wondering if there is more of this story to discover, don’t worry – the anime is just the beginning!
Where to Read the Ao Ashi Manga
Unfortunately for English-speaking fans, the series has not been widely released in this format so far.
Ao Ashi does have a significant French release, but if you’re looking for the English version, there is no simple way to buy legal copies of the manga.
The series does not have an English publisher outside of Asia and, as a result, is almost nonexistent on all major services and platforms in North America and beyond.
Hopefully, interest in the anime will inspire publishers to make an English-translated version more readily available. For now, though, we will just need to wait.
