"Chicken Fighter" Keiji Teams Up with "Hana no Keiji" Maeda for Epic Collaboration
There is some really exciting news for the manga and anime fans out there. A special collaboration fair is currently being organised between Shu Sakuratani's "Chicken Fighter" and Tetsuo Hara's legendary "Hana no Keiji - Beyond the Clouds". This project is actually based on the original story written by Keiichiro Ryu and the screenplay handled by Mio Aso. It is quite a unique crossover because we are seeing two very different worlds coming together in a way nobody really expected.
The collaboration fair banner features both "Chicken Fighter" and "Hana no Keiji ─Komo Kanata ni─" prominently. If you are in Japan, you can catch this event until May 10th. All the volumes of both these works will be available on sale at the Shosen Book Tower in Tokyo. Not just there, but 12 other stores in the Tokyo suburbs are also participating in this. They have even installed special collaboration panels for fans to see and take photos with. It is a great way to celebrate the why Chicken Fighter is the next big hit as the series gains more and more momentum globally.
Special Digital Campaigns and Discounts
For those who prefer reading digitally, there is a lot of good stuff happening too. From April 3rd to April 16th, various e-book platforms like Comic Seymour, LINE Manga, and Piccoma will be offering free trial readings. You can basically check out volumes 1 to 3 of both series for absolutely free during this period. This is a very good chance for new readers to dive into these stories without spending any money upfront.
Moreover, the deals are getting even better for collectors:
- Chicken Fighter: Volumes 1 to 6 can be bought at a flat half price discount.
- Hana no Keiji ─Komo no Kanata ni─: Volume 1 is also available at half price for a limited time.
- YouTube Collaboration: The official Hana-chan\! YouTube channel for "Hana no Keiji ─Konata ni─" has also decided to join in. They will be releasing more details about their specific collaboration at a later date, so fans should keep an eye on that.
Celebrating the "Chicken Fighter" Anime Premiere
This whole collaboration event is actually being held to celebrate a very big milestone—the TV anime adaptation of "Chicken Fighter". Interestingly, this crossover happened because Sakuratani was a huge fan of Tetsuo Hara's work from the beginning. It is always nice to see a creator getting to work with someone they look up to. The visuals prepared for this fair specifically showcase the main heroes: Keiji from "Chicken Fighter" and Keiji Maeda from "Hana no Keiji ─Kumo no Kanata ni─". Both characters sharing the same name makes the pairing even more perfect.
The "Chicken Fighter" TV anime is scheduled to start its broadcast from April 5th. Looking at the hype, it is easy to see why Chicken Fighter is the next big hit in the action-comedy genre. The story of a lone rooster fighting giant monsters is just the kind of weird and awesome thing we need right now. Make sure you don't miss out on these limited-time offers if you want to catch up on the manga before the show starts.
