Central Park Media released Araizumi's Slayers manga in North America.
An anime version of Kagurazaka's Taishō Yakyū Musume. novels, which centers around girls playing the newfangled sport of baseball in 1920s Japan, was announced in August. Sadaji Koike illustrated these two novels, and Shinpei Ito (Hyper Dolls, Moldiver, Cutie Honey aGoGo!) launched the manga version on July 19 in Tokuma Shoten's Monthly Comic Ryū magazine.
The fourth Slayers television series, Slayers Revolution, premiered in Japan in July, and its Slayers Evolution-R continuation will debut next month.
