The June issue of Akita Shoten's Princess Gold magazine published the final chapter on Thursday of You Higuri's Frankenstein no Matsui (A Descendant of Frankenstein) manga.
Higuri launched the manga in Princess Gold in August 2016. Akita Shoten published the manga's second compiled volume on August 17.
The manga centers on Rena, the daughter of Dr. Frankenstein. Rena witnesses her father's experiments, and she knows of the kindness of the monster and biological weapon he has resurrected. Rena and the monster then flee together.
Higuri's first Gakuen Heaven manga, based on Spray's boys-love game of the same name, launched in 2004 and was published in a single compiled volume. Higuri also serialized several character-focused, spinoff Gakuen Heaven manga series. Tokyopop's Blu imprint published Gakuen Heaven, Gakuen Heaven: Nakajima, and Gakuen Heaven: Endou - Calling you manga in English. An anime series adaptation produced by Tokyo Kids aired in 2006 and Media Blasters released the series in North America in 2007.
Tokyopop also published Higuri's Gorgeous Carat and Gorgeous Carat: L'Esperanza manga. Digital Manga Publishing released Gorgeous Carat Galaxy, part of Higuri's Ludwig II manga; Del Rey published Higuri's Night Head Genesis manga; and CMX Manga published Higuri's Seimaden manga in North America. Go! Comi published the first 10 volumes of the Higuri's Cantarella series in North America, as well as her Angel's Coffin and CROWN series.
