New fan animation project for Minato One Shot unveiled with exciting first teaser

The Minato One Shot manga is set to be adapted into an anime by the Galactic Republic studio. This fan project is being worked on by a passionate group of animation fans who want to bring to life one of the series' most captivating spin-off stories. They have already unveiled a trailer for their upcoming project, showing great potential.

The Minato One Shot manga was originally released in July 2023.

Masashi Kishimoto personally worked on this spin-off series, which was released after Minato won a popularity poll. The writer had assured fans that the poll winner would get their own separate spin-off series.

The spin-off is titled Whorl Within a Spiral, a name that the fan animation studio has decided to keep.
