Now, another Arata from our world has crossed over in Arata's place! How did this happen, and how will these two survive? Note: As a result of changes imposed by the mangaka's former editor in early volumes of this series, which were at odds with her initial plans for the story, a [remastered version](https://mangadex.org/title/9429f633-1005-4be9-aebf-950b96b41e4b/arata-kangatari-remastered-ban) was started and the series was paused after volume 24 in order to allow for the remastered version to catch up. However, as the story in the remastered version had diverged significantly by volume 8, in 2021 it was decided to discontinue the Shounen Sunday version and to continue the story only in the remastered version.
