The four-panel spinoff manga of Gakuto Mikumo’s Strike the Blood novel series launched in October 2016.
The Strike The Blood: Kieta Seisō-hen (Disappearing Holy Lance Arc) special OVA shipped on January 29, and was the first in the franchise to tell an original story episode not in Mikumo’s original light novel series.
Mikumo’s original Strike the Blood novel series inspired a 24-episode television anime series in 2013, as well as two OVA seasons in 2015 and 2016-2017.
Strike The Blood III, the third Strike the Blood OVA season, shipped in five installments between December 2018 and September 2019.
