Tenkuu Shinpan: All You Need to Know About the Series

Looking for information about the Tenkuu Shinpan or High-Rise Invasion anime that launched February 25, 2021 on Netflix? In this article, we will see everything about the anime, information about continuation and new season, spoilers and curiosities.

Information about Tenkuu Shinpan

the anime Tenkuu Shinpan [天空侵犯] literally means invasion of skyscrapers or violating the skies, which in Brazil strangely got the name of dead end, but which in English is called High-Rise Invasion.

The anime as usual is based on a manga Japanese written by Tsuina Miura and illustrated by Takehiro Oba. The manga has been published online from 2013 to 2019 compiled into 21 volumes. A sequel to the manga is currently being published.

In the anime the high school student Yuri Honjō finds herself lost in an "abnormal space" where countless skyscrapers are connected by suspension bridges and "masked figures" often cause people to despair, killing them or making them kill themselves.

Tenkuu Shinpan Sequel and New Season

The anime was published in partnership with Netflix and produced by Zero-G, responsible for the anime Grand Blue, One Room, and Science Fell in Love. Seems like a middle-of-the-road studio, but I really liked the animation.

The anime was announced in October 2020 and released its first season in February 2021. Netflix is usually not reliable with the continuations of its series, but anime does usually get new seasons.

We had the recent case of Great Pretender, which received its second season shortly after the first. Other anime that have been on Netflix for many years have received their continuation, so I believe there will be a second season of Tenkuu Shinpan.

Another reason for a continuation is the end of the first season that ended without closing and with Cliffhanger. If Netflix follows the mold of Great Pretender and other anime, we will have the second season as early as 2021, maybe in 6 months.

It could also be that Netflix signed a 24-episode deal and only aired 12 at first. We believe that the next season of the anime will be able to finish every manga.

The Anime adapted about 150 chapters, I believe the second season ends the first manga which has a total of 258 chapters. We don't know if there will be a sequel to Tenkuu Shinpan's manga.

Spoilers for Tenkuu Shinpan - No Exit

I recommend waiting for the new season, but if you're curious about some details of the work, the first manga ends with a reasonably satisfying ending, with villains defeated and all the favorite characters alive.

After the events of the first season, Mamoru Aikawa is defeated by a new antagonist named Administrator, who has the ability to possess people. He does this with individuals like Tanabe, Miko Mask, and Rikuya Yoshida.

I haven't read the sequel to the manga, but apparently it's another story along the same lines with a male protagonist that's still in release (I only found 17 chapters online).

The original manga series left many plot threads outstanding and unresolved, including the main problem of the protagonists. Not even the Supervisor knew how to answer the reason for the conflicts or the system.

As the manga is already complete, I recommend you read the manga (at the end of this article) to follow the rest of the story if you don't have the patience to wait for a new season. Who will be closest to God?

The Sequel to Tenkuu Shinpan - Arrive

The end of the first manga wasn't entirely conclusive, perhaps some future connection in the manga's sequel is possible. At the end of the first manga, peace was only a temporary solution, as the unstable domain worlds still pose a major threat to Earth.

The new manga series features a new male protagonist named 16-year-old Senya Matsuda who dreams of being an astronaut. Those dreams are figuratively shattered when a tower unexpectedly falls from the roof of their school.

The story of the High-Rise Invasion sequel apparently takes place much later in the timeline, as the world of skyscrapers once perfectly maintained now appears to be in disrepair.

So far, there is no alternative answer provided other than Candidates for God, and even the Overseer doesn't know who created the assassination system. Humans in the skyscraper domain face dwindling food supplies and the threat of unknown groups.
