Hayate × Blade
"Hayate × Blade" began as a manga series written and illustrated by Shizuru Hayashiya which started serialization in ASCII Media Works' shōnen manga magazine "Dengeki Daioh" on November 21, 2003 and ran in that magazine until May 21, 2008. The manga restarted serialization in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine "Ultra Jump" on August 19, 2008, and continued until July 2013. The reason for the switch was not explicitly explained, but the reason given was due to "various circumstances". Eight "tankōbon" volumes were released in Japan by ASCII Media Works under their Dengeki Comics imprint between June 26, 2004 and January 26, 2008, though Shueisha republished the eight volumes under their Young Jump Comics imprint featuring new covers, new character descriptions and revised panels. Shueisha published the remaining 10 volumes through volume 18 between December 19, 2008 and September 19, 2013. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga for release in English, and the first six volumes were released between November 2008 and April 2010. As a result of the change of magazines in Japan, Seven Seas Entertainment lost the rights to continue publishing further English-language volumes of the manga series. A sequel manga, "Hayate × Blade 2", began serialization in the September 2013 issue of "Ultra Jump".
