The chapters of the manga series Jiraishin (Japanese: 地雷震; lit. 'Landmine Earthquake') were written and illustrated by Tsutomu Takahashi, and serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Monthly Afternoon from September 1992 to November 1999. Kodansha compiled its chapters into 19 tankōbon volumes, released from October 23, 1993,[1] to January 21, 2000.[2] The series was republished in a ten-volume bunkoban edition from May 9, 2003,[3] to September 12, 2003,[4] and in a ten-volume shinsōban edition from February 23, 2009,[5] to November 20, 2009.[6] Also included in the first bunkoban and shinsōban volume is a prototype one-shot story titled "The Lost File", published in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Morning in April 1989.[3][7]
The North American version of the manga, retitled Ice Blade, was serialized in Tokyopop's MixxZine magazine,[8][9] but was discontinued after three volumes on May 2, 2005.[10] In France, the manga was licensed by Génération Comics,[11] before it was taken over by Panini Comics;[12] in Italy, by Stars Comics;[13] in Germany, by Carlsen Comics;[14] in South Korea, by Samyang Comics;[15] and in Taiwan, by Tong Li Comics under the Youth Comic series label.[16]
A sequel to Jiraishin, titled Jiraishin Diablo (地雷震 ディアブロ, Jiraishin Diaburo), was serialized in Kodansha's Good! Afternoon magazine from November 2008 to November 2011.[17] Its chapters were compiled in three tankōbon volumes, released from February 5, 2010, to December 7, 2011.[18][19]
Jiraishin centers on a plainclothes police officer named Kyoya Ida (Ky in the English version), who is known to solve cases by using questionable methods with the point of using violence to resolve them while interacting with a bleak, dark world, sometimes with prices to pay. In Jiraishin Diablo, Ida had left the force for an undetermined period of time while suffering from the effects of Keratoconus after coming across a police detective assigned to Ishikawa and a grown up Aya Koike, who Ida had met back in the 1990s, while solving a case of unknown deaths in the fictional Amakura Island in Japan's Ishikawa Prefecture.
