Pumpkin Scissors

Pumpkin Scissors (Japanese: パンプキン·シザーズ, Hepburn: Panpukin Shizāzu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ryotaro Iwanaga. The series follows Second Lieutenant Alice L. Malvin, the leader of the Pumpkin Scissors, as she and her platoon go on missions to provide war relief to the public after the Royal Empire signed an armistice against the Republic of Frost.

The series started in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Magazine Great in 2002 and moved to Monthly Shōnen Magazine in 2006. Its chapters have been collected in 23 tankōbon volumes. In North America, the manga was published for English release by Del Rey, publishing five volumes before ceasing operations in 2010. It was later licensed by Kodansha USA for a digital release.

A 24-episode television series adaptation, produced by Gonzo and AIC, was broadcast from October 2006 to March 2007. It was first licensed in North America by ADV Films, and later transferred to Funimation.
