The chapters of the Japanese manga series Shadow Star, known in Japan as , are written and illustrated by Mohiro Kitoh. It was originally serialized in Kodansha's manga magazine Monthly Afternoon from March 1998 to October 2003. In the United States, it was licensed by Dark Horse Comics and serialized in English on their Super Manga Blast! manga magazine.
There are twelve volumes total in the Japanese release, and seven in the English-language release. As a result of Dark Horse's rearrangement of the series' chapters, those seven volumes actually cover volumes 1 to 6 of the original Japanese release. Further chapters were serialized in Super Manga Blast!, and starting with the magazine's 54th issue, the series was translated in its original right-to-left reading format; this lasted until Super Manga Blast! was cancelled five issues later. These chapters have not been collected into volumes yet, and Dark Horse has not announced any plans to further translate Shadow Star.
