Printed media

Manga volumes

The manga release started before the anime broadcast, so that the ending in one medium would not trail too far behind the other. The first chapter, or "mission", appeared in the magazine Monthly Sunday Gene-X in the October 2001 issue (released 19 September 2001); the final chapter was released two months after the airing of the last anime episode, in the December 2002 issue (released 19 November 2002).
