EAT-MAN The Over Order New Anime Gets Spinoff Manga Series

The official X (formerly Twitter) account for EAT-MAN The Over Order, the new anime project for Akihito Yoshitomi's Eat-Man manga, announced on Monday that Yoshitomi will launch a spinoff manga adaptation of the upcoming anime, titled Desert-Dessert From EAT-MAN The Over Order. The manga will launch in the January 2027 issue of Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine on November 26.

Shunji Ōga (Romance of Three Kingdoms, several Soreike! Anpanman films, Golgo 13 chief director) is directing the new anime at Studio Cab. Original manga creator Yoshitomi is in charge of scripts and original designs, and Satoshi Hirayama (Cat's Eye season 2, Lupin III specials, Lupin III vs. Detective Conan The Movie) will adapt Yoshitomi's character designs for animation.

Masashi Ebara returns from the two previous anime adaptations as protagonist Bolt Crank.

Yoshitomi drew his original Eat-Man manga from 1996 to 2002. Viz Media published part of the original manga in North America. The story follows Bolt Crank, a man who can eat anything and reproduce it in his right hand. The original manga received anime adaptations in 1997 and 1998. Bandai Entertainment released Eat-Man '98 on DVD with an English dub, and Discotek Media released both anime on subtitle-only DVD. Crunchyroll began streaming both anime in 2019.

Yoshitomi launched the Eat-Man The Main Dish manga in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine in May 2014. The six-volume manga ended serialization in 2019.

ADV Manga published Yoshitomi's Ray manga, while Section23 Films released the Ray television anime as well as the Blue Drop anime inspired by Yoshitomi's manga of the same name. Yoshitomi also drew Cyborg 009 Vs. Devilman: Breakdown, the manga adaptation of the Cyborg 009 Vs. Devilman crossover anime. The one compiled volume shipped in April 2016.
