ストライクウィッチーズ 天空の乙女たち [Strike Witches Tenkū no Otome-tachi / Strike Witches: Maidens in the Sky]

In this compact two-issue series from Kadokawa (2009–present), Strike Witches: Maidens in the Sky adapts the early missions of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, blending aerial combat with magical abilities. Published alongside the anime's first season, it distills the core premise of young witches using their powers to battle the alien Neuroi threat. While brief, the series offers a focused, action-driven entry point into the larger Strike Witches universe, capturing the spirit of the franchise through its mix of military hardware and magical girl tropes.
