Arata: The Legend (Japanese: アラタカンガタリ 〜革神語〜, Hepburn: Arata Kangatari) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yuu Watase. It started serialization in Shogakukan's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday in October 2008. Its chapters were collected in 24 tankōbon volumes, while a Remaster edition started in July 2013, with 17 volumes published as of May 2023. After a nearly six-year hiatus that began in August 2015, the series resumed publication, with republished chapters in May 2021 and all-new chapters started publishing in July of the same year; the series finished in Weekly Shōnen Sunday in April 2022 and was transferred to the Sunday Webry website in May of the same year. In May 2021, it was announced that the tankōbon edition would stop publishing and the series will only continue with the Remaster edition. The series finished in November 2023. In North America, the manga is licensed for English release by Viz Media. A 12-episode anime television series adaptation by Satelight and Korean studio JM Animation was broadcast on TV Tokyo from April to July 2013.
