The next big Shonen Jump Award has a celebrity judge determining the next big sports manga.
Sports anime are becoming a bigger part of the medium in recent years. Series such as Blue Lock, Haikyu, Slam Dunk , and countless others have taken the anime mentality and applied it to a variety of physical activities, but there is always room for more.
Many anime franchises, sports-related or otherwise, got their start thanks to Weekly Shonen Jump. For decades, the publication has been a springboard for series such as Dragon Ball, My Hero Academia, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, and too many others to count. With some of their biggest series inching toward their grand finales, it should come as no surprise that Shueisha is looking at the next generations of stories that will fill its pages.
Jump Sports Manga Award DetailsThe upcoming award ceremony won't just see the LA Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani acting as a judge, but will also include some major players in the anime sports world. Slam Dunk creator Takehiko Inoue, Eyeshield 21 creator Riichiro Inagaki, and Kuroko's Basketball creator Tadatoshi Fujimaki will be judging new contestants in the sports anime genre.
