Kannagi began as a manga series written and illustrated by Eri Takenashi and began serialization in the first issue of Ichijinsha's shōnen manga magazine Comic Rex on December 9, 2005. The first bound volume was released on August 9, 2006 under Ichijinsha's Rex Comics imprint, and as of November 8, 2008, six volumes have been released in Japan. Each volume comes bundled with a pin-up drawn in collaboration of Takenashi with another prominent artist. The artists for the first six pin-ups were Takashi Takeuchi (of Type-Moon), Ryukishi07 (of 07th Expansion), Itaru Hinoue (of Key), Yun Kōga (artist of Loveless), Ume Aoki (artist of Sunshine Sketch), and Zekkyō (artist of Toradora! manga), respectively.[1]
In the January 2009 issue of Comic Rex, the editors made a statement that the manga will be on hiatus due to concern about the author's health problem.[2] The installment of the manga just prior to the author's illness caused some fan controversy, but was not linked to her illness. The author underwent surgery on December 12, 2008 and is currently recovering.[3]
