Rock Lee Gag Manga to be Adapted into Anime

Joseph Luster November 30, 2011

You either love Naruto‘s Rock Lee or not, but hopefully you do, because he’s about to get his own animated series, as announced in the first monthly issue of Shueisha’s Saikyou Jump magazine.

The anime is based on Kenji Taira’s Naruto spin-off comedy manga, Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden, which was launched in the magazine last December. As the title implies, this gag manga focuses on none other than Rock Lee.

While there aren’t currently any more details on the upcoming anime adaptation, we’ll let Lee’s grin in the announcement below do the celebrating for now.
