The Weekly Shonen Jump magazine published by Shueisha began serialising the Kazushi Hagiwara manga in 1988. It relocated to Ultra Jump in 2000, where it remained until 2010, when a halt was declared. There are 27 volumes in all, with the most recent one being released in 2012. The series was published for 19 volumes in English by Viz Media, but it is no longer available. Between 1992 and 1993, studio AIC released the six-episode B*stard!! OVA.
▍About Heavy Metal Dark Fantasy
The story, according to Viz Media, is as follows:
The kingdom of Metallicana is under siege by evil armies of monsters. The desperate defenders turn to a legend that a virgin’s kiss may awaken the wizard “Dark Schneider” from his slumber inside the innocent boy Lucien. Thanks to his sister Yoko, Lucien metamorphoses into the powerful, lecherous wizard. With demons, dragons, and other dark forces roaming the land, and Dark Schneider barely under control, the question remains: will Metallicana ever know a lasting peace?
