Publisher Shueisha announced a new anime project for Joh Araki and Kenji Nagatomo's Bartender manga on Friday. Nagatomo shared an illustration to commemorate the announcement (pictured above).

Araki and Nagatomo originally serialized the slice of life gourmet manga in Super Jump magazine from December 2004 to September 2011. The manga then switched to Grand Jump in November 2011 and ended the following month. Shueisha released the 21st and final volume in February 2012.

A spin-off manga by Osamu Kajisa ran in the same magazine from January 2012 to October 2013. The sixth and final volume was released in December 2013.

Palm Studio produced an 11-episode television anime adaptation in Fall 2006. Shout! Factory and Anime Limited licensed the anime in September 2020 and released a Blu-Ray set in United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, and the United States in January 2021. Bartender received a live-action television series that aired in January 2011.
