Saiyuki Gaiden Video Anime Gets Special Edition
posted on by Egan Loo
The May issue of Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Zero Sum magazine is announcing on Wednesday that a special edition release of the Saiyuki Gaiden original video anime (OVA) series has been green-lit. There will also be Saiyuki Character Books: one for the characters Sanzō and Gokū on April 25, and another for Gojo and Hakkai on May 25. The newest Saiyuki art collection book, salty-dog VII, will go on sale as well.
More details about Saiyuki's new media projects will be revealed in future issues of Monthly Comic Zero Sum and the official Saiyuki Gaiden website.
The original three-volume Saiyuki Gaiden anime adapted Kazuya Minekura's fantasy adventure manga of the same name, which ended in Monthly Comic Zero Sum in 2009. The May issue of the magazine features the return of Minekura's Saiyuki Reload Blast manga after a hiatus due to surgery. The issue bundles a bonus deluxe booklet titled Saiyuki Reload Blast: Sky Burial.
