Servamp

Strike Tanaka's Servamp blends dark fantasy with supernatural mystery in a story that ran for over a decade. The series appeared in Media Factory's Monthly Comic Gene from June 2011 through December 2024, eventually collecting into twenty-four tankōbon volumes. North American readers found the work licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment, while anime fans followed the twelve-episode television adaptation that aired between July and September 2016.
