3×3 Eyes (stylized as 3×3 EYES; pronounced Sazan Eyes)[a] in Japanese, is a manga series written and illustrated by Yuzo Takada. It was serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazines Young Magazine Kaizokuban and Weekly Young Magazine from 1987 to 2002, spanning to a total of 40 volumes. The English language translation was published by Dark Horse Comics, but was discontinued after the release of volume 9 in 2005.
The manga has received two Original Video Animation (OVA) series based on 3×3 Eyes that were released in 1991 and 1995 and cover the storyline up to volume 5 of the manga. The first consisted of four episodes averaging to half-hour of runtime and the second consisted of three averaging out to 45 minutes of runtime. In the United States, the first OVA was originally distributed by Streamline Pictures and the second was distributed by Manga Entertainment shortly after the Japanese releases. The two OVAs were later re-released in 2001 by Pioneer Entertainment in a collected set. The series has also received several companion books, drama CDs, and video games, only released in Japan.
In 1993, 3×3 Eyes won the Kodansha Manga Award for the shōnen category.
Plot[]
3×3 Eyes follows the adventures of Pai, the last remaining Sanjiyan Unkara (三只眼 吽迦羅, three-eyed mandala), and her new Wu (Chinese reading of 无; an immortal companion), Yakumo, as they desperately try to find a way to make Pai human so that she can forget her troubled past. Pai travelled to Tokyo searching for the artifact, but shortly after she arrived, a thief snatched her backpack and cane from her. A teenage lad, Yakumo, tackled the crook and managed to get the pack back for her, though the thief escaped with the cane. Yakumo took her to his work, where Pai was able to get cleaned up, and where she discovered that he was the son of Professor Fujii, an archaeologist she had met in Tibet four years prior. The Professor had been researching the legends of the Sanjiyans and had befriended her and offered to help her find the Ningen, only to fall ill and die. Pai had his last letter to his son in her backpack, which asked Yakumo to help Pai with her quest. Although he didn't believe his father's tales of Pai being a monster, he agreed to assist her.
Their discussion was interrupted by news reports of a giant monster flying over the city. Pai recognised the creature as her pet Takuhi, who must have been released from his home in Pai's cane by the thief, and who was now looking for her. Pai set out to retrieve him, with Yakumo close behind. However when Yakumo saw Takuhi fly towards Pai, the lad mistook the beast's welcome for an attack, and shoved Pai out the way; immediately Takuhi ripped into the lad, fatally wounding him. Unwilling to lose the boy she had been hunting for and just located, Pai's third eye opened, and she absorbed his soul. This restored his body, but tied him to her as her undead servant. Linked to her, he can only become human again when she becomes human. In the way of this goal are hordes of monsters and demons from the Shadow World, some desiring Pai's powers, others who seek the Ningen for their own. Yakumo can again become mortal and end his constant need to protect Pai because if Pai dies, then so will he. Along the way, they encounter many followers of the now-dead demon god Kaiyanwang, all of whom wish to kill Pai or siphon off her power in order to resurrect their deity and/or gain immortality.
Media[]
Manga[]
3×3 Eyes is written and illustrated by Yuzo Takada. It was first published for five chapters in Kodansha's Young Magazine Kaizokuban from December 14, 1987 to April 10, 1989,[5][6] and later serialized in Weekly Young Magazine from 1989 to 2002.[7][8] Kodansha collected its chapters in forty tankōbon volumes, released from October 17, 1988, to November 6, 2002.[9][10] A limited edition of the final volume was released on the same day of the normal edition containing a video game for PC.[11] Kodansha also released four special edition volumes. The first two were released on April 25, 2002.[12][13] An additional box set was also released on the same day.[14] The remaining two limited edition volumes were released on May 23, 2002.[15][16] The manga was re-released into 24 volumes from August 12, 2009, to July 9, 2010.[17][18] A limited edition of the final 24th volume was released on the same day as the normal edition containing a commemorative art book.[19]
The English-language translation was originally published by Studio Proteus by Innovation Comics in 1991 (resulting in a five-issue miniseries), but in 1995 was published from the beginning by Dark Horse Comics after they purchased Studio Proteus, as well as serialized in Super Manga Blast! magazine.[20] This release altered art to remove several instances of a "penis-like tentacle" emerging from a character's mouth in volume 2, this censorship was done with the approval of Yuzo Takada.[21] A total of eight volumes were published between March 1, 1995, and May 5, 2004.[22][23] The manga was discontinued in 2005 before the release of the ninth volume.
Sequels[]
A manga sequel, titled 3×3 Eyes: Genjū no Mori no Sōnansha (3×3EYES 幻獣の森の遭難者), began on Young Magazine Kaizokuban manga website (later renamed e Young Magazine in 2015)[24] on December 26, 2014.[25][26] The manga finished in August 2016.[27]
A second manga sequel, titled 3×3 Eyes: Kiseki no Yami no Keiyakusha (3×3EYES 鬼籍の闇の契約者), started on December 22, 2016 on e Young Magazine online manga magazine.[28][29] In 2019, the manga was transferred to Monthly Young Magazine on February 20.[30]
Original video animation[]
Two original video animations (OVAs) series were produced by Toei Animation and its subsidiary Studio Junio. The first shares the same name of the manga and released four episodes between July 25, 1991, and May 19, 1992.[31][32] The second OVA titled, 3×3 Eyes: Legend of the Divine Demon (3×3 EYES 聖魔伝説, 3×3 Eyes: Seima Densetsu) is the sequel to the first with a total of three episodes released between July 25, 1995, to June 25, 1996.[33][34] A four-disc Blu-ray box set was released on August 4, 2010. The first two discs contained episodes from the two OVAs, respectively. The additional other two discs are soundtrack from the OVAs.[35]
The first OVA was originally dubbed and distributed in the United States by Streamline Pictures in 1992, featuring Eddie Frierson as Yakumo and Rebecca Forstadt as Pai. Instead of four episodes, the Streamline version comprised two parts that merged the first and second episodes and the third and fourth episodes. The second OVA was originally dubbed and distributed by Manga Entertainment in 1995, with Frierson and Forstadt reprising their roles. Manga's release was treated as a continuation of the Streamline version and thus referred to the three episodes as the third, fourth, and fifth parts as opposed to the fifth, sixth, and seventh episodes.[36]
In 2001, the two OVAs were re-released in the United States by Pioneer Entertainment. The Pioneer release included a new English dub that retained the original episode count and starred Brigitte Bako as Pai and Christian Campbell as Yakumo.[37] Directed by Greg Weisman, the dub also featured Keith David, Bill Fagerbakke, Thom Adcox-Hernandez, and Ed Asner, who all previously appeared with Bako in Weisman's series Gargoyles, and the dub contained homages to the series.[38]

Reception[]
As of February 2015, 3×3 Eyes had over 33 million copies in circulation.[62] In 1993, the manga won the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen.[63]
The OVA adaptation had received mixed to positive reviews. Theron Martin of Anime News Network praised both OVAs stating "While not a spectacular series, 3×3 Eyes is nonetheless a very solid production which should entertain those who don't mind high levels of bloodshed and rampant mystical content."[64] Justin Sevakis also of Anime News Network, criticized the artstyle the animation quality of the series, whilst noting that the series is still entertaining.[65] Carlos Ross of THEM Anime Reviews praised the first OVA for its animation and characters, but criticized the story for its "disjunctive nature" and "anti-climactic" ending.[66] For the second OVA, Ross gave the plot a mix review noting that it is more coherent than the previous OVA, but also more confusing.[67] Stig Høgset also of THEM Anime Reviews, gave both the OVAs a more positive review, praising the characters and artwork, but criticizing the ending for it feeling unfinished.[36] Luis Cruz from Mania, gave the first OVA a mix review stating, "3×3 Eyes has the material to be a classic series [sic] However, the OVA format limits its potential by constraining the amount of time it can spend building the characters and their world."[68] He continued to state for the second OVA, "It only falls short by being hobbled with a story arc conclusion rather than a proper ending" and "the story stands well enough on its own and provides nearly two hours of action, humor, and intriguing mysteries."[69]
