It is not known if the manga will make its way out of Japan. A manga with similar Indian themes, Burning Kabaddi, revolves around the sport of kabaddi and is created by Hajime Musashino. It was even adapted into a 12-episode anime in 2021, but both the manga and anime are not officially available in India.
