Suzuki mentioned that he had plans for additional side stories that would be published after the main series finished.

A book compiling The Vampire of Edinburgh and A Dangerous Mission ( キケンなお使い) side stories, and the pilot one-shot was published on July 17, 2018, under the title The Seven Deadly Sins: Original Sins ( 七つの大罪 番外編集 <原罪>). Suzuki created the three-chapter The Vampire of Edinburgh ( エジンバラの吸血鬼) manga that was included in limited editions of the anime adaptation's first three home video sets in 2015. Kodansha collected its chapters into 41 individual tankōbon volumes, released from February 15, 2013, to May 15, 2020. Written and illustrated by Nakaba Suzuki, The Seven Deadly Sins was serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine from October 10, 2012, to March 25, 2020. Main article: List of The Seven Deadly Sins chapters All seven have such relationships, which the author called realistically human. For example, he said that while Ban is Meliodas' best friend, King is only a teammate with whom he does not talk. Suzuki said he always made sure to show the subtly different relationships between the members of the titular group of knights. In the pilot chapter, the character had long, straight hair, which the author said was not as cute. He said the most difficult part was his hair ultimately deciding on "fluffy" hair like a boy from a foreign country, which he had never done before. Although it was decided to make the protagonist of the series a "child", Suzuki struggled with designing Meliodas' profile because the character is actually an adult.

In order to surprise readers, he purposely made the appearances of some of the titular group of knights very different from their wanted posters that appear in the first chapter and had others look the same as their poster, but gave them "horrible" personalities. The relationship between Meliodas and Elizabeth was decided on from the beginning, but the author thought up everything else weekly as he went in order to keep it unpredictable. For the series, Suzuki borrowed the names of characters from tales about King Arthur, but used his original ideas for their personalities and the story itself.

One of these manuscripts, "Chapter X", was released in English on Kodansha USA's website in 2015. Nakaba Suzuki drew more than twenty versions of the pilot chapter. The Seven Deadly Sins began as a one-shot that was published in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine on November 22, 2011. Liones' third princess, Elizabeth Liones, finds the Seven Deadly Sins' leader-Meliodas, before they search out his comrades so they can clear their names and liberate Liones from the Holy Knights, who were manipulated by a demon named Fraudrin into unsealing the Demon Race from their prison. The Seven Deadly Sins are a band of knights in the land of Britannia ( ブリタニア, Buritania) who had disbanded ten years earlier after being framed for plotting a coup of the Liones Kingdom ( リオネス王国, Rionesu Ōkoku), the Holy Knights who sequestered them before taking control in the wake of a rebellion they organized.

The manga has over 38 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling manga series. In 2015, The Seven Deadly Sins won the 39th Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category. Funimation licensed the home video rights to the first season, while Netflix acquired the English streaming rights to the anime and films. Alfred Imageworks and Marvy Jack then produced a two-part film for Netflix: Grudge of Edinburgh, released in 20. Studio Deen produced two further seasons that ran from October 2019 to June 2021, and a second theatrical film: Cursed by Light. The manga has been licensed by Kodansha USA for English publication in North America, while the chapters were released digitally by Crunchyroll in over 170 countries as they were published in Japan.Ī-1 Pictures adapted the series into a three-season anime television series that ran from October 2014 to June 2018, and one theatrical film: Prisoners of the Sky. Featuring a setting similar to the European Middle Ages, the story follows a titular group of knights representing the seven deadly sins.
