A total of 42 tankobon volumes were published in Japan. It is also known in Japanese as Katekyo Hitman Reborn! VIZ Media previously licensed the manga for English release.
The manga inspired a TV anime series from Artland that aired for 203 episodes from October 2006 to September 2010. Two OVAs were also released in 2010 and 2016, respectively. The anime is currently streaming on Crunchyroll and REMOW’s It’s Anime YouTube Channel, which licensed the series this past May. Discotek Media licensed the series for home video release.
Besides the anime adaptation, the series also spawned five light novels, a radio show, and several video games.
