Skyhigh (manga)

Skyhigh (Japanese: スカイハイ, Hepburn: Sukai Hai) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tsutomu Takahashi. It was serialized in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Weekly Young Jump from 2001 to 2002. It was followed by two sequels; Skyhigh: Karma (2003) and Skyhigh: Shinshō (2003–2004). A fourth series, Tenmasō no Sanshimai – Sky High, was serialized in Grand Jump from 2013 to 2014.

Skyghigh follows the story of Izuko, a mysterious "Guardian of the Gate" to the Afterlife. Izuku guides troubled souls who pass through, presenting them with three choices: to ascend to Heaven to await reincarnation; to deny their death and wander the earth as a ghost, or to seek vengeance upon the person who caused their death or suffering—but the consequences of that, no matter how justified, is to be condemned to Hell.

The series spawned a television drama adaptation which was broadcast on TV Asahi from 2003 to 2004 and a live-action film released in 2003. A live-action film adaptation of Tenmasō no Sanshimai – Sky High premiered in Japanese theaters in 2022.
