About the Sakura Taisen Manga
Sakura Taisen launched in the pages of Kodansha’s Magazine Z in 2002. Series creator Oji Hiroi wrote the work, which was illustrated by Masa Ikku. The series, which is based on the first game, originally completed its run in 2008, though the enduring popularity saw it renewed that would continue the story.
TOKYOPOP released Sakura Taisen in North America, and shipped the first seven volumes of the first series in English by 2008. They describe the title as:
Tokyo, 1921—After the horrific Demon War, Japan is a peaceful and prosperous place…with the occasional monstrous robot crashing around town. Not to worry; there’s always a lovely young girl waiting to cut down these robots, samurai-style. Ensign Ogami, a recent Naval Academy graduate, finds himself in Tokyo, assigned to the Imperial Theater as a ticket collector. Fairly clueless, he’s about to be swept away into a roiling world of robots, demons and beautiful girls in uniform.
