posted on by Joanna Cayanan
Titan Manga describes the manga's story:
Eko Eko Azarak Reborn brings the terrifying world of witchcraft, demons, and dark magic back to life in this chilling remake of the 1975-79 classic. Misa Kuroi, a powerful witch awakened by humanity's darkest desires, is summoned by a mysterious stranger and sent on a harrowing journey into Hell. Facing both her dark past and Lucifer himself, Misa must confront unimaginable horrors and unlock her true power to survive.
The manga is a remake of late manga author Shinichi Koga's Eko Eko Azarak manga.
Yamada launched the manga in Akita Shoten's Champion RED magazine in March 2020, and ended it in March 2023. Akita Shoten published the manga's fifth and final volume in May 2023.
Koga serialized the original horror manga in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine between 1975 and 1979, and Akita Shoten published the series in 19 volumes.
The manga inspired six live-action films between 1995 and 2006, as well as a live-action television series in 1997. The manga also inspired a two-episode OVA series in 2007. In addition, the manga has inspired two video games.
Koga died in March 2018.
Yamada previously adapted Nobuaki Kanazawa's popular mobile phone novel King's Game (Ousama Game) into a manga titled King's Game: Origin. Crunchyroll published chapters of the manga in English. Shinichi Okada and Yamada ended their Inō Maze (Supernatural Power Maze) manga in 2018. Yamada's Asatte no Hōkō manga inspired the 2006 Living for the Day After Tomorrow television anime.
