About the series
Shin Takahashi’s seven-issue manga series, published in English by Viz from 2004 to 2005, adapts his own celebrated sci-fi romance Saikano into a compact, poetic retelling. Co-written with Yuko Sawada and illustrated by Takahashi, it distills the story of a fragile high school girl who becomes a living weapon, exploring the tension between ordinary love and apocalyptic duty. This edition offers a focused, standalone experience of Takahashi’s haunting vision for readers seeking the series’ emotional core in a shorter format.
