In North America, the manga has been licensed by Viz Media and was published in a one-shot graphic novel form on October 5, 2005, including content from the 9th and 10th volumes of the Japanese release. It was later published monthly in "Shonen Jump" from July 2007 to June 2009. At Anime Expo 2008, when asked about why the previous volumes were never published, Viz said it was due to the "content". Viz restarted the manga release in 2008. The first volume (11th volume of the Japanese release) was published on August 5, 2008. A total of five volumes of "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo" were published as of October 5, 2010, before Viz Media ceased the series' publication.
