The Qwaser of Stigmata (Japanese: 聖痕のクェイサー, Hepburn: Seikon no Kueisā) is a Japanese manga series authored by Hiroyuki Yoshino featuring art by Kenetsu Satō. The series is notable for its violence, fan service, and the use of vital energy coming from women's breasts (referred to as Soma) as a central plot device. The manga series was published in Japan in the manga magazine Champion Red from 2006 to 2016, and the chapters collected into 24 tankōbon volumes. A 24-episode anime television series was produced with the same title as the manga series and broadcast in Japan on Biglobe in 2010. An OVA adaptation titled The Qwaser of Stigmata: Portrait of the Empress (聖痕のクェイサー: 女帝の肖像, Seikon no Kweisā: Jotei no Shōzō) was also produced and released on DVD with the manga series volume 10. A 12-episode second season was produced with the title The Qwaser of Stigmata II (聖痕のクェイサー II, Seikon no Kweisā Tsū) and was broadcast in Japan between April and June, 2011.[2]
Sentai Filmworks licensed both seasons and the OVA for digital distribution and home video release in North America, releasing English subtitled DVD sets in 2012 and 2013.[3]
