Alive: The Final Evolution

Alive: The Final Evolution (Japanese: アライブ -最終 進化的 少年-, Hepburn: Araibu Saishū Shinkateki Shōnen; lit. "Alive: Last Evolutionary Boy") is a Japanese manga series written by Tadashi Kawashima and illustrated by Adachitoka. It was serialized in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Magazine from April 2003 to February 2010; it was Kawashima's last work before his death in June of that same year. Its chapters were collected in 21 tankōbon volumes. In North America, Del Rey Manga licensed series for an English localization and released eight volumes. In July 2016, Kodansha USA took over North American release of the series digitally only.

An anime adaptation for the series was planned and to be produced by Gonzo and co-produced by Anime International Company, but the adaptation was canceled due to Gonzo being delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
