The Manga That Started It All
This unique series originated from the minds of Sekka Iwata and Yuu Aoki, who started serializing this action-fantasy manga in Shounen Jump+ back in October 2021. It’s been a hit, with Shueisha releasing the 18th volume just this past September 4th. The story of magical girls treated as corporate assets clearly struck a chord!
Caught Up in English? You’re in Luck!
For international fans, VIZ Media licensed the English version of the manga in June 2023. They’ve been steadily releasing volumes, with the tenth one out on November 18 and the 11th volume scheduled for January 20, 2026. If you prefer digital, you can also read it simulpublished on Shueisha’s Manga Plus website and app.
