Nakamura started the manga in November 2016 in Shueisha’s Young Jump magazine, and in September 2019, the manga moved to Shueisha’s Ultra Jump magazine. Shueisha published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in December 2016, and the 11th volume in December 2025. The manga’s 12th volume is scheduled for release on December 17th, 2026.
Seven Seas Entertainment releases the manga in English under the name Black Night Parade, and it will release the 11th volume on November 3rd, 2026. Seven Seas describes the manga story below:
“Hino Miharu spends Christmas the same way every year, working alone at a dead-end part-time job at a convenience store. He’d do just about anything to land a full-time gig, but when he runs into a shadowy Santa Claus dressed all in black, he has no idea he’s encountered the real deal. Well, almost. While the normal Santa Claus who dresses in red and white oversees Christmas for all the good boys and girls, his dark counterpart is in charge of handling the bad children—and Miharu just wound up on the naughty list. Gobbled up by a slavering, talking sack, he’s spirited away to the Arctic, where he finds himself the newest employee of a massive Christmas operation. Yeah, the pay and benefits are great, and his coworkers sure are cute, but is this the dream job he’s been hoping for, or the beginning of a Christmas nightmare?!”
