The God of High School is a very popular WEBTOON comic from Yongje Park that is being turned into a Crunchyroll Original series. The series is set to premiere in July and now Crunchyroll has released more details and the first trailer for the anime.
The God of High School is an action-packed series that follows a high schooler and his friends as they compete in an epic tournament, borrowing power directly from the gods and uncovering a mysterious organization along the way… With the promise of their heart’s deepest desires, motivating their tournament victory.
Jin Mori will be voiced by Tatsumaru Tachibana (Case File nº221: Kabukicho).
A sixteen-year-old whose taekwondo, which he learned from his grandfather, makes him undefeatable. Nothing is more important to him than being the best fighter of all, and his current record out of 299 fights is 297 wins and 2 draws. He decides to participate in the God of High School tournament, an interdisciplinary martial arts competition, after suffering the first loss of his life against Judge R, one of the tournament’s judges.
Meanwhile, Yoo Mira will be voiced by Ayaka Ohashi (Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story).
The 25th Master of the Moon Light Sword Style. She pretends to be a fragile high schooler, but she has the strength to easily overpower an entire group of delinquents in a fight. She prefers guys who are macho, because she’s been told that she needs to marry a man strong enough to help her resurrect her family’s sword style. For that reason, she’s participating in GOH to find a potential husband.
Finally, Han Daewi will be voiced by Kentaro Kumagai (Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans).
One of the “Mad Cows,” a duo that once controlled the entire Gangnam area. He’s been working part-time jobs to pay the medical bills for his partner in the duo, who fell ill with an incurable disease, but the part-time work available to high schoolers is barely enough to cover the daily medical bills and won’t cover a cure. He joins GOH after being told that he can save his friend if he wins.
The God of High School will be directed by Sunghoo Park and feature character designs by Akita Manabu. Are you excited for this new series? Have you read the comic on WEBTOON?
