Netflix's Sex Education Gets Manga Adaptation, First Chapter Out Now

Netflix’s hit series Sex Education is getting the manga treatment, with John Tarachine drawing an adaptation of the series.

The manga comes from Kadokawa’s Global Comic label and will be drawn by Tarrachine, who most recently wrote and drew Umi ga Hashiru End Roll, a manga that was released in 2020. The first issue of the manga is already done and available on Kadokawa’s Comic Bridge website now, for fans who want to check out the debut chapter.

The manga comes as news of various key cast members from the Netflix series exit ahead of the highly anticipated fourth season of the series. Recently, Patricia Allison — who played Ola in the series — and Tanya Reynolds (Lily) both announced they would be departing the series, surprising fans who were hoping to see more of their characters in the future.

Sex Education stars Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, Connor Swindells, Aimee-Lou Wood, Kedar Williams-Stirling, Mikael Persbrandt, and Chinenye Ezeudu. It also features Mimi Keene, Simone Ashley, Chaneil Kular, Tanya Reynolds, Sami Outalball, Anne-Marie Duff, George Robinson, Chinenye Ezeudu, Alistair Petrie, Samantha Spiro, Rakhee Thakrar, and Jim Howick.

Season 3 saw the addition of new cast members in the form of Jason Isaacs as Peter Groff, Jemima Kirke as Headmistress Hope, and Dua Saleh as Cal.

Sex Education hails from writer and creator Laurie Nunn, with Eleven set as its producer. Writers include Sophie Goodhart, Selina Lim, Mawaan Rizwan, Temi Wilkey, and Alice Seabright, with additional material from Jodie Mitchell. Season 3 is directed by Ben Taylor and Runyararo Mapfumo, with Taylor, Laurie Nunn, and Jamie Campbell serving as executive producers.
