Violence Jack (バイオレンスジャック, Baiorensu Jakku) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Go Nagai and first serialized from July 22, 1973 (1973-07-22) to September 29, 1974 (1974-09-29) in Weekly Shōnen Magazine, published by Kodansha.[1][2][3] The second ran in Monthly Shōnen Magazine, also published by Kodansha, from January 1977 (1977-01) to December 1978 (1978-12), with a few gaps between months.[2][4][5] This two serializations of Kodansha were originally published in 7 volumes.

Five years later, the serialization continued this time in the magazine Weekly Manga Goraku, published by Nihonbungeisha, and ran from August 5, 1983 (1983-08-05) to March 23, 1990 (1990-03-23).[2][6][7] This serialization originally produced 31 volumes in total.

In November 1, 1993 (1993-11-01), three years later after the end of the previous serialization, a special tankōbon called Violence Jack: Mao Korin Hen (バイオレンスジャック　魔王降臨編, baiorensu jakku maō kōrin hen) was released by Nihonbungeisha.[2][8][9] Seven years later, in December 10, 2001 (2001-12-10) a special one-shot story, Violence Jack: Sengoku Majinden (バイオレンスジャック　戦国魔人伝, baiorensu jakku sengoku majinden), was published by Shueisha in a special edition of Weekly Young Jump, Bessatsu Young Jump #14.[2][10][11] This story has not been re-printed or compiled yet.

In May 2005 (2005-05) (cover date 2005-05-13·20) the magazine Weekly Comic Bunch published by Coamix, the most recent serialization started, with Shin Violence Jack (新バイオレンスジャック, shin baiorensu jakku).[2][11][12] This serialization was irregularly published, stopping in August 19, 2005 (2005-08-19) and restarting in November 2, 2007 (2007-11-02) to end in April 11, 2008 (2008-04-11) in number 17 of Weekly Comic Bunch.[12][13][14] It was compiled in tankōbon by Media Factory in 2010.

In the February 2021 issue of Kodansha's Monthly Young Magazine, it was announced that a new manga series written by Yū Kinutani, titled Violence Jack 20XX, would begin serialization on February 19, 2021.[15] As of September 20th, 2022, Violence Jack 20XX has been compiled into three tankōbon volumes.

Volume list

The series has been published in tankōbon format several times. Because of the different serializations, each version is different from the previous. As such, only a few of them have the complete series (excluding Violence Jack: Sengoku Majinden and Shin Violence Jack which haven't been compiled yet).
