Editing Magic Knight Rayearth (section)

===Manga===
Written and illustrated by [[Clamp (manga artists)|Clamp]], ''Magic Knight Rayearth'' appeared as a [[serial (literature)|serial]] in the Japanese magazine ''[[Nakayoshi]]'' from November 1993 to February 1995. [[Kodansha]] collected the chapters in three ''[[tankōbon]]'' volumes. The first was published on July 22, 1994; the last was released on March 6, 1995.<ref name="Clamp-net"/> The sequel also appeared in ''Nakayoshi'' from March 1995 to April 1996.

In 1997, [[Tokyopop]] licensed ''Magic Knight Rayearth'' for an English-language translation in North America, and serialized it in its manga magazine ''[[Tokyopop (magazine)|MixxZine]]''.<ref name="Animerica"/> The English version of the manga was at first issued in a flipped left to right format, but was re-released in the original right to left format in later editions. The English version of the manga also at first continued the volume numbering through the two series, such that ''Magic Knight Rayearth II'' volumes #1–3 were numbered as volumes "#4–6" (i.e., the 2000/2001 release of ''Magic Knight Rayearth'' volume 4 has the same content as the 2003/2004 re-release's ''Magic Knight Rayearth II'' volume 1).

It would appear that Tokyopop has lost their license for the series, as [[Dark Horse Comics]] announced at their [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2009 panel that they would be publishing the series in a new [[anthology|omnibus]] edition in honor of Clamp's 20th anniversary.<ref name="DH_CC">{{cite web |title=Dark Horse - San Diego Comic-Con International 2009 |url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention/2009/san-diego-comic-con-international/dark-horse |publisher=[[Anime News Network]] |date=2009-07-25 |access-date=2009-07-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090730202833/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention/2009/san-diego-comic-con-international/dark-horse |archive-date=2009-07-30 |url-status=live }}</ref> Dark Horse published the omnibus editions from July 6, 2011, to April 12, 2012.<ref name="Omnibus Vol. 1"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.darkhorse.com/Books/17-764/Magic-Knight-Rayearth-Volume-2-TPB|title=Magic Knight Rayearth Volume 2 TPK :: Profile|publisher=Dark Horse|access-date=August 16, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202224759/http://www.darkhorse.com/Books/17-764/Magic-Knight-Rayearth-Volume-2-TPB|archive-date=December 2, 2013|url-status=live|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

After Dark Horse Comics' license expired, [[Kodansha USA|Kodansha Comics]] licensed it and released the series digitally and in two hardcover box sets containing three volumes each in honor of the manga's 25th anniversary from November 26, 2019, to December 29, 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-03-13/kodansha-comics-vertical-add-bakemonogatari-cells-at-work-code-black-granblue-fantasy-manga/.144500|title=Kodansha Comics, Vertical Add Bakemonogatari, Cells at Work!
