Sports anime already appeals to a pretty specific niche, but a niche sport in a niche genre has an unfortunate time. However, while not quite as brutal Baki or even its closer sports cousin Hajime no Ippo, Hinomaru Sumo still managed to inject huge hype into a small package.

The anime adapts two chapters of nine total chapters in Volume 18.
What to Expect From The Hinomaru Sumo Manga?
The anime makes very small changes and cuts to scenes throughout the series, mostly for better pacing, but it isn’t really necessary to go read the manga from the beginning.
Is The Hinomaru Sumo Manga Over?
The Hinomaru Sumo manga is completed. It ended in 2019 with Chapter 250.
Will There Be A Hinomaru Sumo Season 2?
As Hinomaru Sumo had its anime made in 2019 just months before the manga ended, unfortunately this smacks of the series being more a promotional anime to boost manga sales before it ended.
As such, a Hinomaru Sumo Season 2 anime is very unlikely at this point.
