TV Tokyo opened an official website on Tuesday, announcing a television anime adaptation of Hajime Musashino's Shakunetsu Kabaddi (Burning Kabaddi) manga. The website also revealed a teaser visual (pictured) and promo.

Synopsis
First-year high schooler Tatsuya Yoigoshi, the former ace of a junior high school soccer team who has come to dislike sports, receives an invitation to join the Kabaddi club. Initially mocking the idea of Kabaddi, he takes an interest after watching an intense competition akin to martial arts at a practice session.

Musashino began the sports manga on Shogakukan's Ura Sunday web magazine and MangaONE application in December 2015. The 13th volume was shipped on February 12, with the 14th volume set to be released on July 10.

Shakunetsu Kabaddi ranked among the top 20 manga in the male readers' division in the 2017 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings.
