When Monthly Ikki ended serialization in 2014, the manga moved to its replacement magazine Hibana, and then to Monthly Shonen Sunday when Hibana ceased publication in 2017.
The science-fiction manga debuted in Shogakukan’s Monthly Ikki magazine in 1999.
The anime will stream in Japan on Netflix, and Netflix will premiere the show before its premiere on Japanese television.
Viz Media began distributing the manga digitally when it launched SigIKKI, its online English version of Shogakukan’s Monthly Ikki seinen manga magazine, in 2009.
