Elex Media describes The Soaring Quadrable:

Arai launched the manga in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine in April 2017, and ended it in 2018. Shogakukan published the manga's fourth and final compiled book volume in March 2018.
Elex Media previously published all seven volumes of Arai's manga adaptation of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables novel.
Arai is currently drawing the Meitantei Conan: Zero no Tea Time (Detective Conan: Zero's Tea Time) manga spinoff of Gōshō Aoyama's Detective Conan manga. The manga runs in Weekly Shonen Sunday during times when Detective Conan is on hiatus. Elex Media publishes an Indonesian language version of Detective Conan in Indonesia, while Shogakukan Asia publishes an English language version of both Detective Conan and Detective Conan: Zero's Tea Time in various territories in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.
