Development

Kazushi Hagiwara aspired to become a manga artist after reading Go Nagai's Devilman and popular shōnen manga magazines during his youth. Following his departure from high school, he served as an assistant to Izumi Matsumoto on the Weekly Shōnen Jump series Kimagure Orange Road at Shueisha, concurrently developing his own one-shot stories. In 1987, Hagiwara contributed to a Shueisha initiative designed to showcase new artists. His dark fantasy one-shot Wizard!!

〜爆炎の征服者〜; "Wizard: Conqueror of Explosive Flames") was selected, performed favorably in reader surveys, and earned a weekly serialization. Hagiwara subsequently adapted the sword and sorcery setting and characters from Wizard!! , which debuted in Shōnen Jump in 1988.
