The Journey of Pumpkin Scissors
Pumpkin Scissors is an action-drama series set in a post-war era between the Royal Empire and the Republic of Frost. Led by Alice L. Malvin, the war relief unit known as Pumpkin Scissors is dedicated to helping those affected by the conflict.
Throughout the series, Alice encounters Randal Oland, a haunted soldier with a mysterious past. Despite being infected by a blue lantern that grants him monstrous strength, Alice sees beyond his appearance and believes in his kindness.
The story of Pumpkin Scissors delves into the question of whether Randal’s humanity can triumph over his formidable power and aid Alice in her mission. It explores themes of redemption, compassion, and the impact of war on individuals.
A Brief Hiatus and Fan Speculations
In March 2020, Pumpkin Scissors went on an unexpected hiatus, leaving fans speculating about the reasons behind the pause. Many believed that the author’s health may have played a role in the series’ temporary discontinuation.
During the hiatus, the manga series was licensed for English release by Del Rey in November 2007. However, the publishing company ceased operations related to Pumpkin Scissors after releasing only five volumes by August 2009. Fortunately, Kodansha Comics USA took over the series and began publishing it digitally in 2016, allowing English-speaking fans to continue following the story.
Pumpkin Scissors Anime Adaptation
In addition to its manga adaptation, Pumpkin Scissors also received an anime adaptation in October 2006. The anime was brought to life by Studio Gonzo and AIC (Anime International Company).
