To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the birth of Masami Kurumada's popular manga "Saint Seiya," six major projects were published in the February 2026 issue of the manga magazine "Champion RED" (Akita Shoten), which was released on December 19th.
The book features a full-color enclosed magazine with original illustrations by Kurumada, including his latest work, "Saint Seiya THEN II Mission." The special supplement is a "Saint Seiya THEN II Mission Calendar Poster," with "Saint Seiya : The Return of the Poseidon" featured in the opening color pages.
The center color pages are "Saint Seiya THE LOST CANVAS Myth of Hades Extra Edition," "Saint Seiya Saintia Sho Memories," and "Saint Seiya Hades Iden Dark Wing," and also feature "Microcosm Club," which looks back on the history of the series over the past 40 years. It's all about "Saint Seiya."
