Monthly Comic Blade
Written and illustrated by Mayumi Azuma, the "Elemental Gelade" manga was first serialized in Mag Garden magazine "Monthly Comic Blade" from February 28, 2002 to December 28, 2009. The individual chapters were collected and published into 18 "tankōbon" volumes by Mag Garden between October 10, 2002 and March 10, 2010. In the summer of 2003, A.D. Vision announced that they acquired the manga's right to the North American audience. Ultimately, however, twelve volumes were released from July 3, 2006 to September 7, 2010 by Tokyopop until it went bankruptcy. In 2012, it was relicensed by Digital Manga Publishing (DMP) and all 18 volumes were published in digital format between June 5, 2012 and May 20, 2013.
