Titan Manga has revealed an exclusive preview of the front cover and art of the upcoming third volume of Saint Seiya: Dark Wing. Volume three is scheduled to be released in print on May 12, 2026.
The third volume’s main synopsis is described by Titan Manga as:
The war of the gods gets personal in this gripping third volume of the Saint Seiya: Dark Wing manga. Shōichirō, now the Wyvern Judge of the Underworld, faces his own twin brother – Sōjirō, the formidable Gemini Gold Saint – in a fateful clash between realms.
As Athena’s reincarnation, Cattleya, is struck by a cursed arrow, the stakes skyrocket. With the shadowy god Yaldabaoth entering the fray and secrets unraveling on all sides, the balance between Sanctuary and the Underworld teeters on the edge of collapse.
Saint Seiya: Dark Wing is a spinoff manga series of Masami Kurumada’s original 1985-1990 Saint Seiya manga series. It is written by Kenji Saito and illustrated by Shinshu Ueda, beginning serialization in Akita Shoten’s Champion Red monthly magazine on December 19, 2020. Eight tankobon volumes have been released as of December 2025.
The original Saint Seiya manga inspired several TV anime adaptations, sequel and spinoff manga, and a live-action 2023 film adaptation. The Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya 3DCG series ran for two seasons containing four parts between 2019 to 2024, with Netflix streaming the first season and Crunchyroll streaming the second season.

Titan Manga describes the first volume of Saint Seiya: Dark Wing as:
Shoichiro was just another high school student. Now, he’s Wyvern, one of the dreaded Judges of the Underworld, chosen to battle against the forces of Athena in a war that transcends life and death.
When an unexpected ambush during a school trip sends Shoichiro and his classmates into the land of the dead, they are thrust into a fierce struggle between the gods and their warriors. The mysterious forces of Hades have already begun their assault, and Shoichirō’s destiny is forever altered. But he’s not alone — Cattleya, the reincarnation of Athena herself, fights to defend the living, as shocking truths about a darker conspiracy threaten everything they know.
Pre-orders for the third volume are now available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million, and Forbidden Planet in the U.K. and Europe.
