About the series
Makoto Raiku's Zatch Bell! ran from 2005 to 2009 under Viz Media, adapting the popular manga into a 25-issue comic series. Following a young boy and his mysterious, amnesiac partner as they battle other magical beings in a tournament with world-altering stakes, the series became a defining entry in the early-2000s wave of action-fantasy imports. Raiku's energetic art and inventive creature designs gave the story its distinctive, heartfelt charm.
