Studio Trigger’s Little Witch Academia may only be an animated short film, but it has touched the hearts of many across the world in a short amount of time. And now, fans have more reason to be happy because it will get not one, but two new manga adaptations.

The first series will be serialized in Shueisha’s shoujo magazine, Ribbon, which announced that  Little Witch Academia: Tsukiyo no Ookan (Crown of Midnight) will be premiering inside their pages on their next issue, set of release on 3 September. This new manga will be illustrated by Yuka Fujiwara, who is best known for her manga, Crash!. Trigger’s Yoh Yoshinari, the director of both the anime and its sequel, is credited as the original creator.

Meanwhile, another Shueisha manga magazine, Ultra Jump, will also be doing their own Little Witch Academia manga series, though this one will be a “short intensive” manga which will run for a limited time beginning with their September 2015 edition, which is due out on 19 September. Terio Teri, who previously done another Little Witch Academia manga, will also be charged with making this new series a success. This Ultra Jump manga will have an original story, and it credits Studio Trigger as the creator.
