Gojūjā manga: Chapter 3 is Kinjirō's school visit

Chapter 3 of No.1 Sentai Gojūjā THE MANGA UNIVERSE already has a release date in Japan. It launches on November 15 on the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club (TTFC) service, where members can read it at no extra cost.

The story this chapter focuses on Kinjirō Tōno, the 87-year-old high school student. This time it's a school visit and, as unbelievable as it sounds, the Gojūjā show up as his guardians. Things get complicated when the classic "overprotective father" appears: a dad who wants to stop his daughter from continuing her studies. Kinjirō will try to reach his heart.

The chapter promises some truly wild moments. The school panics, the heroes get caught up in a classic Japanese family drama, and as the cherry on top, Kinjirō chases the dream of being a "perfect dad." All with the absurd and endearing tone we already know from this franchise.

Matsumoto wants to see the Gojūjā in live-action

Hitoshi Matsumoto, who plays Kinjirō Tōno in the TV series and TTFC content, shared his thoughts on this manga. He says he laughs a lot reading it and feels a special connection with the character. "Kinjirō is the oldest and at the same time the youngest," he says with a laugh.

What we liked most is his message to fans. Matsumoto thanks everyone for the constant support of the Gojūjā and drops a line that makes us dream: "If everyone asks for it enough, maybe this could become a live-action adaptation." Nothing is confirmed, but just imagining it gives us goosebumps.

The actor also highlights the love behind the project. He says he feels surrounded by a wonderful team and loves seeing the Gojūjā shine in this format. His message ends with a lovely wish: that the manga keeps bringing smiles to everyone.

The manga is published as an original e-book within TTFC. There is no information yet about a physical edition or a Latin American release, but we'll keep an eye out for any news.
