It is authored by Hajime Yatate (original creator), Noboru Kimura (scenario), and Kenetsu Satō (art).

At Fuka, he finds out that he is the Key - the person needed to unlock greater powers - to two HiMEs, Mai Tokiha and Natsuki Kuga.

The manga covers Yuuichi's relationship with the two girls as well as their battle against an organization attempting to take the power of the HiME Star for themselves.

And unlike the anime, the general public are aware of the hime's existence or at least those attending Fuka Academy.

[4] The manga was licensed for English release in North America by Tokyopop, who published the five volumes from November 2006[5] to July 2007.
