The series was launched in August 2014 in the pages of Akita Shoten's Champion Red magazine, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Matsumoto's debut.[2]
The series is a retelling of the original 1978 Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga, with some significant plot differences, and illustrated by Shimahoshi in a modernized version of Matsumoto's classic style. In January 2017, it was licensed in the U.S. by Seven Seas Entertainment.[3] It was also published in Spain by Norma Editorial,[4] and in France by Kana.[5]
