This year's 19th issue of Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine revealed last Friday that Kei Sanbe will launch a new manga titled Snow Drop ~Anata no Shi o Nozomimasu~ (Snow Drop ~I Desire Your Death~). The magazine did not reveal when the manga will launch, but noted that the magazine's next issue will provide more information on the manga on October 3.
Square Enix's Manga UP! is publishing Reto the Protector digitally in English, while Yen Press is publishing The 13th Footprint.
Sanbe serialized ERASED (Boku dake ga Inai Machi) from 2012 to March 2016, and serialized a spinoff manga from June to November 2016. The manga was nominated for the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize 'Reader Award' in 2014, the Manga Taisho Awards in 2015, and 2017's Seiun comic award. Yen Press has released the manga in English.
An anime adaptation premiered in January 2016. Aniplex of America licensed the series, and Crunchyroll, Daisuki, and Funimation streamed the series as it aired in Japan. The manga also inspired a live-action film that opened in Japan in March 2016. Netflix also produced a Japanese live-action series adaptation that premiered in December 2017.
Sanbe launched the For the Kid I Saw in My Dreams (Yume de Mita: Anoko no Tame ni) manga in Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine in July 2017, and ended it in July 2022. Yen Press is releasing the manga in English.
