The chapters of the mystery manga series Arisa were written and illustrated by Natsumi Ando. The series appeared as a serial in Kodansha's monthly shōjo (targeted towards girls) manga magazine Nakayoshi from the February 2009 issue to the September 2012 issue.[1][2] Kodansha has collected the chapters into twelve bound volumes and published them from April 28, 2009, to September 6, 2012.[3][4]
North American publisher Del Rey announced in September 2009 to have the series licensed for North America.[5] Del Rey released the first volume, but shortly after Kodansha announced that they would be taking over from Del Rey on a case to case basis.[6] On December 12, 2010, Kodansha Comics officially announced that they would be continuing Arisa in North America starting in May 2011.[7]
