Rikudou launched Excel Saga in Young King Ours in 1996, and ended it after 15 years in 2011 with 27 compiled book volumes. The manga inspired an anime series that ran from 1999 to 2000.
The manga's story centers a secret organization called Across. Believing the world is corrupt, Across aims at world domination — with only two hapless agents named Excel Excel and Hyatt.
Viz Media publishes the manga in English in North America in 2003, and ADV Films released the anime version.
Rikudou ended his Super Cartesian Theater manga in December 2018. Rikudou launched the manga in Young King Ours in June 2016.
