Everything old is coming around once again and the latest to get the revival bug is the GALS! manga from Mihona Fujii. She revealed that she’s bringing the property back, known more as Super Gals from the anime adaptation, with a new installment on November 5th, 2019 as part of the Manga Mee app. Fujii confirmed that this is a continuation and not a spinoff or reboot of the original.
The original run, released by CMX Manga in North America, ran for ten volumes between 1998 and 2002.
Crunchyroll added the full 52-episode run of the property back in 2017 that Nozomi Entertainment currently holds the rights to, making for some really fun material to sink your teeth into amid all the other shiny new shows that are out there. The full run is in its original Japanese with English Subtitles while the first twenty-six episodes are also available with the English dub that ADV Films originally produced and didn’t follow-up on for the second half of the run.
Nozomi last brought out the series on DVD in an Anime Elements complete collection of the show, clocking in at 52 episodes, back on July 5th, 2016 priced at $49.99. Extras include the Clean Opening, Clean Closing, GALS Slang, The Super GALS! Explain It All 1-6, US Trailer, Liner Notes, and Bios.
Plot concept: Every episode of Super Gals!, every ironclad rule, and all the Shibuya slang packed into a single, complete set!
Sporting designer clothes, makeup, and nails, Ran Kotobuki is the very picture of a trendy, young Shibuya girl, but don’t let that fool you. This girl comes from a family of cops, and she’s ready to lay you out flat if you even think about causing trouble in her town! At least, she will… when she’s not distracted with karaoke, shopping, and dodging her homework. Join Ran and her friends as they defend the streets of Shibuya and attempt to shop their way into the history books as the most famous Gals ever in Super Gals!
