Following the Netflix debut for “Ultraman: Rising,” Tsuburaya Fields Media & Pictures Entertainment and Sky Turtle Nova, an imprint of Oasis Family Media, have announced “Ultraman: Ultra Academy,” the first American book series based on the Ultraman franchise. The novels follow the students as they study giant Kaiju and try to help the Special Science Search Party (SSSP) and Ultraman find weaknesses in the beasts. The young team will draw inspiration from the earthly problems that are giving rise to the monsters and from Ultraman himself as he attempts to restore balance to the world.  

The series is set to debut at retail in spring 2025.
