Check out the New Cutie Honey Nova Project Revival Design

Hobby Japan announced during the company’s 55th anniversary event that Go Nagai’s Cutie Honey manga and anime series will inspire a new revival project titled Cutie Honey Nova. At the time of writing, it is unclear if this will be a new anime series, be tied to merchandise or what projects the revival will involve. [Thanks, Hobby Japan!]

A new design for android protagonist Honey Kisaragi in her Cutie Honey superhero appearance was revealed, which shows the character wearing a more technological outfit and wielding her signature sword. The new design was created by Japanese illustrator Nadare Takamine.

Considering Hobby Japan and Good Smile Company’s involvement in the new Cutie Honey Nova project, it is possible that the new revival is not an anime series, but rather a new line of Cutie Honey figures or merchandise featuring new character redesigns. We won’t know for sure until Hobby Japan shares more information.

Cutie Honey is a manga and anime series created in 1973 by famous author Go Nagai. The franchise has received a variety of remakes and reboots, including the 1994 OVA series New Cutie Honey, the more family-friendly Cutie Honey Flash anime, Gainax’s Re: Cutie Honey anime reboot released in 2004, and most recently the 2018 Cutie Honey Universe series.

The Cutie Honey Nova revival project is currently in development. More information will appear in the future.
