Daisuke Ashihara debuted the World Trigger manga in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 2013.

The manga's 24th volume shipped on December 3.
Viz Media and MANGA Plus both publish the series simultaneously in English digitally. Viz Media also publishes the manga in print.
The manga inspired two television anime in 2014 and 2015. The second season of the anime premiered in January 2021 and aired for 12 episodes. The third World Trigger season premiered on October 9 on TV Asahi's NUMAnimation programming block. Crunchyroll streamed these seasons as they aired in Japan.
