Weed was written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Takahashi . It is a sequel to his 1980s series Silver Fang -The Shooting Star Gin- , and follows the son of Gin, the title character from the original series.[ 1] It began serialization in Weekly Manga Goraku magazine in 1999.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] The Japanese publisher Nihon Bungeisha released the series in collected volumes from January 2000[ 4] to September 2009.[ 5] Cumulatively, 60 volumes were published.[ 5] In October 2006, Nihon Bungeisha released the first volume of a reprinted edition of Weed .[ 6] The company has released 22 volumes of the reprint edition, with the latest published in December 2007.[ 7] The American company ComicsOne licensed the series for release in the United States and Canada in 2000 with the first three volumes released between March and June 2001.[ 8] [ 9] Additionally, they provided an Adobe Digital Editions e-book version.[ 3] ComicsOne later went bankrupt. American publisher DrMaster acquired the rights to some of ComicsOne's titles, but not Weed .[ 10] While the physical copies are out-of-print , the e-book version is still available.[ 3]
Under their G-Comics imprint, Nihon Bungeisha released several Weed omnibus editions labeled as "specials". A series of three specials were released in April 2004 called Gajō no Kettō Hen (牙城の血闘編 ) .[ 11] Throughout 2009 and 2010, another set of eight "specials" were produced: Tabidachi Hen (September 2009),[ 12] Senshi no Shōmei Hen (October 2009),[ 13] Inuzoku no Tsutome Hen (November 2009),[ 14] Otoko no Yakusoku Hen (December 2009),[ 15] Taiman Shōbu Hen (January 2010),[ 16] Taishō no Utsuwa Hen (February 2010),[ 17] Dōshu Taiketsu Hen (March 2010),[ 18] and Uketsuga Reshi Kiba Hen (April 2010).[ 19]
