The November issue of Akita Publishing's Champion RED magazine announced on Friday that author Kenji Saitō and artist Nobuyuki Ueda's Saint Seiya: Dark Wing (Saint Seiya: Meiōiden – Dark Wing) spinoff manga and Yousuke Takahashi and Mimori's Garagarapon manga will both end in the magazine's January 2027 issue on November 19.

Titan publishes Saint Seiya: Dark Wing in English and describes the story:

Shōichirō was just another high school student. Now, he's Wyvern, one of the dreaded Judges of the Underworld, chosen to battle against the forces of Athena in a war that transcends life and death.

When an unexpected ambush during a school trip sends Shōichirō and his classmates into the land of the dead, they are thrust into a fierce struggle between the gods and their warriors. The mysterious forces of Hades have already begun their assault, and Shōichirō's destiny is forever altered. But he's not alone—Cattleya, the reincarnation of Athena herself, fights to defend the living, as shocking truths about a darker conspiracy threaten everything they know.

The manga debuted in Monthly Champion RED in December 2020. Akita Publishing shipped the eighth compiled book volume on December 19.

Kurumada published the original Saint Seiya manga from 1986 to 1990. The manga has inspired a number of television anime, original video anime projects, anime films, and spinoff manga.

Viz Media published the original manga in English under the title Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac. ADV Films released Toei Animation's anime adaptation with an English dub under the title Knights of the Zodiac, and later released it unedited under the title Saint Seiya. New Video Group later also released the series on DVD.

Takahashi and Mimori launched the Garagarapon manga in Akita Shoten's Champion RED magazine in November 2023. Akita Publishing shipped the second volume on January 20.

Takahashi launched the Mugen Shinshi mystery manga in Asahi Sonorama's Manga Shonen magazine in 1981, spawning multiple spinoff manga and novels since then. The manga also inspired the Mugen Shinshi: Bōken Katsugeki Hen original video anime project. The manga also inspired a live-action film that opened in May 2021.
