Chiho Saitō Ends Kaguyaden Manga, Starts New Manga on June 28
posted on by Joanna Cayanan

Saitō's Kaguyaden manga is a new take on the "Princess Kaguya" story, where a beautiful woman plunges into fate alone to find out the truth behind the "15 Nights of Blood" incident, and the mystery behind her dear brother's death.
The manga launched in Monthly Flowers in April 2018. Shogakukan published the manga's first compiled book volume in October 2018. The manga's 14th and final volume will ship on March 8.
Saito's Torikae Baya manga ran in Monthly Flowers from July 2012 to November 2017.
Be-PaPas — a group of industry professionals including Saito, Yōji Enokido (Bungo Stray Dogs, Star Driver), Shinya Hasegawa (Golden Time, Taboo Tattoo), Kunihiko Ikuhara (Sailor Moon, Yuri Kuma Arashi), and Yūichirō Oguro (Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie) — developed the Revolutionary Girl Utena manga and anime at the same time. Saito's manga debuted in Shogakukan's Ciao magazine beginning in 1996, and Shogakukan published the series in five compiled volumes. Viz Media licensed and sold the manga in North America, and recently released a collector's edition.
The three one-shot chapters of the manga were compiled into the Shōjo Kakumei Utena: After the Revolution volume, which shipped in Japan in May 2018.
