Shūhei Saitō’s spinoff manga of Hiroshi Takahashi’s Crows series Crows Gaiden Housenka: The Beginning of Housen will enter the final arc with the 19th compiled book volume on June 7.
The manga also inspired three live-action films, with Takashi Miike directing the first two films, Crows Zero and Crows Zero II.
Takahashi’s Crows manga ran for 26 volumes, and inspired a two-episode anime OVA adaptation.
The series tells the origin story of the Housen Academy’s Housen Killer Corps, beginning with Butta Terakado.
