Tag along with the crew on their misadventures in the long-awaited official Blue Archive spin-off manga!
Nogiwa launched the manga in October 2022 on Bushiroad Works’ Comic Growl (formerly Comic Bushiroad Web) manga website. Kadokawa published the manga’s fifth compiled book volume in September 2025.
Blue Archive The Animation, the television anime adaptation of the game, premiered in April 2024. The anime debuted in North America with English subtitles in May 2024.
The Korean game studio and Nexon subsidiary NAT Games (now known as Nexon Games) developed Blue Archive, and Yostar Japan first launched the game in Japan in February 2021. Nexon published the global version in November 2021. The game is free to play with optional randomized in-app purchases.
