A sequel titled Ace of Diamond Act II was serialized from August 2015 to October 2022, with its chapters collected in 34 tankōbon volumes.
The series follows Eijun Sawamura, a baseball pitcher with an unusual pitching style that naturally causes the ball to move unpredictably at the plate.
Some time later, Sawamura and his teammates, Furuya Satoru, Kominato Haruichi and Miyuki Kazuya, lead a new team, along with a few returning faces, through the fall tournament.
Ace of Diamond Act II continues to follow Sawamura and the team as they prepare to compete for the summer tournament.
Simultaneously, the Seido batters are improving themselves to become as fearsome as the batting talent of their previous year's first-string team.
