There are twelve volumes total in the Japanese release, and seven in the English-language one. As a result of Dark Horse's rearrangement of the series' chapters, those seven volumes actually cover volumes 1 to 6 of the original Japanese release. Further chapters were serialized in ''Super Manga Blast!'', and starting with the magazine's 54th issue, the series was translated in its original right-to-left reading format; this lasted until ''Super Manga Blast!'' was cancelled five issues later.
