So, i was starting to wonder if the end of part II would even be adapted in anime. Does anyone here have any hope to see a part III start in manga at some point?

I think the author will not continue the manga ... not because it is bad but he is burnt out.

@UaEfAlCoN83

If the author is burnt out, better let him relax and take long vacations indeed. No manga is worth ruining one's life for it. I still secretly hope that he will get better at some point and find a personal purpose in making a part 3.

Drawing manga is hard and exhausting. Unless you gain a lot like “one piece” and big names you will see many authors pulling out

I do hope for act 3

@UaEfAlCoN83 I haven't seen that many do that, but it is true that the job is hard, as far as i can tell. When i was reading Diamond no Ace (the manga) i was thinking that the drawings were always detailed with consistently detailed backgrounds, and that the author published every week what some others publish every month (like Nakamura's "Skip beat"). I wanted to believe that he could do that because his manga was a success and he had many assistants to help. Apparently, as expected, it wasn't that. I don't know if this was the result of pressure or of his work ethics, but it looks like he overdid it. I must say that i am absolutely not surprised to hear that he burnt out and can't stand his manga anymore. He is older now, too, and it is probably more difficult to be fired up to draw a shounen manga once you near your 50's compared to when you are in your 20's. I went to an arts prepa class when much younger, and after a year of drawing during the day, painting during the night, having no time for myself, and sleeping little, i reached a point by the end of the year where no matter how much i tried to force myself to draw, i couldn't anymore. Which is why i said that i hope he would find a personal purpose to do it again, so that he can actually enjoy it anew. Not his editor's purpose or his readers'. I don't know where you are from, but in my country, it is all about working to live and not living to work.

@Zedlin I believe it should be. I only read the manga a bit ahead because i didn't want to read it before first seeing this 4th season, but it seems that this season will finally deliver quite a bit.

WOW! I was recommending DnA to a friend just 2 days ago, and I said to him that the only sad part about the anime was that the last season ended 4 years ago and I had no idea when it would comeback. I didn't talk or thought about this anime for years until 2 days ago. THAT IS A CRAZY COINCIDENCE IF YOU ASK ME.

@Nox--- Might be how overused it got ... at least compared to previous season? Or something? I dunno, it was so long ago and memory's all shot. But that's what I recall, for some reason.

@yellowheartren It is more that the noisy stupid brat trope, while overused indeed, is overused on the industry scale as a whole, and not only in DnA. It is about an overdose of something after seeing it ad nauseam for decades :)

Seems like this potentially will adapt till the end of Act II. Given that the author had that burnout I think that made him end Act II, not quite sure if Act III will guarantee to be a thing (and if it was, maybe not a long-running one). At least hope the production for this is better since Act II's anime was one of the weaker showings I've seen associated with Madhouse as the primary studio in a while after Production I.G weren't involved.

Best news ever.
Sadly manga has ended and no news about part 3 is saddening.
I don't care if it's 5 or 10 years, hope author get well first and start continuing it.

Act 3 is very possible due to the anime sequel announcement

The possibility of Act 3 is high due to the new season coming.

It's been 2 years since Act 2 ended abruptly. An anime adaptation is usually greenlit to promote a manga/source so there's a high chance that a new manga will be announced at the same time or close to it. I can't think of any other reason why. Yes, some animes are celebratory and we are on the 10th year anniversary of the anime but the fact it was announced in time for Eijun's birthday back in May makes it feel planned for a bigger announcement.

People also might not realize that since DnA is a sports representative manga, it always has a higher chance of being greenlight because the Baseball Federation of Japan can fund it and would prefer it to continue to motivate future baseball players in terms of media consumption.

The staff themselves love it so the only question is Terajima's willingness. TJ's letter attests to this as he mentioned he got requests from the producers to continue writing.

That said, considering the possibility, I wonder if we'll get Koshien or immediately start Eijun's 3rd year of it called "Act 3".

I don't know how to feel about it, Act 2 was very disappointing honestly.
Whereas we'd actually get noteworthy matches in Season 1/2, Act II barely had any, most of the time it was just a slideshow with a voice-over from Yuuki.
Not to mention the matches we did get went by so damn fast compared to how Season 1 and 2 did them, giving us time to care for the players they were facing etc.
Character development was decent in Act II at least so we at least had something.

We'll see if it can hit the high notes of Season 1 and 2 again but I'm hoping it won't end up doing the same mistakes Act II did.
