Seven Seas will release the first uncut volume of Kentarō Yabuki's Ayakashi Triangle physically and digitally in November.

The company describes the story:

Teenager Kazamaki Matsuri has long been part of an elite force of ninja exorcists, tasked with fighting malicious ayakashi spirits who threaten Japan–especially those after his childhood friend, the spirit medium Kanade Suzu. As he fiercely protects her, and his relationship with her blooms from friendship into something more, a powerful cat ayakashi vows to get between the lovebirds: by casting a forbidden spell that turns Matsuri into a woman! With no apparent way to undo the spell, Matsuri must continue battling ayakashi–and go back to school–in this new feminine body until he can find a way to turn back.

Viz Media and Shueisha are both publishing the manga in English digitally. Seven Seas will handle the volume releases.

Neither Viz Media nor Shueisha published the manga's 74th or 75th chapter.

Yabuki launched the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in June 2020. Shueisha published the manga's eighth compiled book volume on March 4.

The manga is getting an anime adaptation.
