It’s almost time for more Zatch Bell!, because manga author Makoto Raiku announced a date for the sequel’s digital launch. Titled Konjiki no GASH!! 2, the followup to Zatch Bell!! will arrive in digital bookstores in Japan in March 2022, and a brief teaser is here along with the news.
Raiku commented on Twitter, “I knew many of you would be surprised. But it’s true.”

The original Zatch Bell!! manga ran in the pages of Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine from January 2001 to December 2007 for a total of 33 collected volumes. A 150-episode TV anime adaptation ran from April 2003 to March 2008.
The original Zatch Bell!! anime is currently available to stream on Crunchyroll, which describes it like so:
Every thousand years, mamodo descend upon earth to conduct the ultimate battle. The winning mamodo becomes the king of the mamodo world. In order for the many mamodo to use their powerful spell books, they need a human partner. Kiyo is a brilliant but aloof 14-year old. Kiyo’s father, an archeologist, finds a mamodo child named Zatch unconscious in a forest. He sends the goodhearted Zatch to be his son’s mentor. It is up to Kiyo and Zatch to discover this together. The unsuspecting Zatch and Kiyo must defend themselves against the ambush of mamodo-king wannabees.
