Saint Seiya fans have something to cheer about as the beloved spin‑off Saint Seiya: Saintia Shō – Memories has returned with a brand‑new short serialization. The continuation of Chimaki Kuori’s side‑story series has quietly resumed, offering fresh glimpses into untold moments from the Saintia’s saga.
What’s New in the Saintia Shō Universe
Saint Seiya: Saintia Shō – Memories first launched as a series of side‑stories in Champion Red in mid‑2022, following the conclusion of the main Saintia Shō manga. These “Memories” chapters explore untapped narratives and character moments that didn’t make it into the original run.
As of early 2025, five chapters had been released, including three numbered “Memory” installments and two labeled as “Extra Memory”. Now, fans are delighted to discover that new short chapters have begun appearing once again, continuing the sporadic but eagerly awaited serialization.
Why This Matters to Fans
Saintia Shō has always held a special place in the Saint Seiya universe. It spotlights a fierce, all‑female team of Saints – known as the Saintias – who defend Athena during the chaos following the Gemini Saga’s fall. The series blends action, emotional drama, and mythological intrigue, offering a fresh perspective on the classic Sanctuary arc.
These Memories chapters are especially meaningful because they expand on characters and stories that didn’t get full development in the main series. Whether it’s side adventures, character backstories, or emotional beats, each short chapter feels like a gift to longtime fans eager for more depth.
Looking Ahead
With the return of these short installments, fans are hopeful that more Memories chapters will follow. The sporadic nature of the serialization means surprises are always possible – perhaps new character arcs or deeper dives into the Saintias’ struggles and triumphs.
While there’s no word yet on a full‑length sequel or a return to regular serialization, the renewed activity in the Memories line signals that the Saintia Shō universe isn’t done yet. For now, fans can savor each new chapter as it arrives, relishing the chance to revisit the world of Athena’s female guardians.
