'Gleipnir', which began serialization in Young Magazine the 3rd in October 2015, has been a significant part of Takeda's journey. The series, which later moved to Monthly Young Magazine following the discontinuation of its original publication in May 2021, concluded on April 21, 2023. The final volume, volume 14, was released on July 20, 2023. In the United States, Kodansha USA Publishing released the 13th volume in English on September 12, 2023.
Beyond its popularity in the manga world, 'Gleipnir' was adapted into a successful television anime, premiering in April 2020. Funimation broadcasted the series during its airing in Japan and provided an English dub, later releasing it on Blu-ray Disc in July 2021.
The plot of 'Gleipnir' revolves around Shuuichi Kagaya, a high school student with the mysterious ability to transform into a monster resembling a mascot dog. The story unfolds with a dramatic turn when he saves a girl, Claire Aoki, from a burning building, inadvertently revealing his secret. Claire, holding her own secrets and searching for her monster-transformed sister, coerces Shuuichi into helping her, leading to a series of dark and intriguing events.
With the end of 'Gleipnir', fans are left anticipating what 'Guardian' will bring. Given Takeda's track record of creating deeply engaging and visually stunning narratives, 'Guardian' is expected to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, offering a unique blend of mystery, drama, and captivating character development.
