A new one-shot of You’re Under Arrest will appear in the February 2023 issue of Afternoon on December 23, 2022. This marks the first time that You’re Under Arrest got an update ever since its original manga run ended in 1992, around 30 years ago. There is no information as of yet in regards to what the one-shot will be about. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
You’re Under Arrest is a buddy-cop manga that ran in Morning from 1986 to 1989. It finished in Morning Party Zokan. You’re Under Arrest inspired several anime series, OVAs, a film, a game, and a live-action drama series. It is an episodic comedy focusing on Natsumi Tsujimoto and Miyuki Kobayakawa. Both of them are female police officers in the fictional Bokuto Police Station.
While the Afternoon Twitter account did not reveal much information as to what the one-shot will be about, it will focus on Christmas. It will likely focus on Natsumi and Miyuki going around Tokyo and meeting with notable recurring characters.
Kosuke Fujishima wrote and illustrated the manga, which was his debut. After that, he wrote the classic manga Oh My Goddess, as well as worked as a character designer for Tales and Sakura Wars. Some of the Tales games he designed for include Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Abyss.
The You’re Under Arrest GP one-shot will appear in Afternoon on December 23, 2022.
