Manga: Black★Rock Shooter

A manga

of Black★Rock Shooter has been announced titled Black Rock Shooter Innocent Soul. Given description: "The story follows a girl in Hazama (Threshold), a world between Heaven and Earth. "Impure souls" — those that could not ascend to Heaven with the burden of their own weight — have drifted to this world of constant warfare."

A published 4koma series also exists. Titled Black Rock-chan, it's really just an Affectionate Parody of the characters and setting; it stars a Pint-Sized Kid version of B★RS with a full-sized Dead Master acting like her mom.
