## Publication

[edit]

Written and illustrated by Akihiro Ito, Wilderness started in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Monthly Sunday Gene-X on August 19, 2000.[a] Following the 68th chapter, published on June 19, 2009,[4] Ito put the manga on hiatus due to a sickness that rendered him unable to use his dominant right hand for drawing.[5][6] After a nearly twelve-year hiatus, the manga resumed in the magazine on May 19, 2021.[7][8][9][10] Shogakukan has collected its chapters into individual tankōbon volumes. The first volume was released on September 19, 2001.[11] As of December 19, 2022, eight volumes have been released.[12]
