Apprentice STRIKER Cast faces her biggest challenge yet--and she won't give up until she's used all of her smarts and all of her might!

In a thrilling new adventure, Clock Striker, Volume 3 explores Cast's obstacles to saving not only her friend Klaus but an entire town that's under the rule of a despotic king.

Cast finds herself face to face with a roomful of Klaus lookalikes and the terribly cruel Loki, a member of a gang of cyborg desperados, the Demon Bandits. While the townspeople of Alter have embraced Cast, their lives are endangered by a disaster that threatens to destroy their entire kingdom. With Cast's mentor, the powerful SMITH Ms. Clock, held captive by the secretive king, Cast must make the most of her intelligence and toughness to beat the odds. Can she do it?

The first shonen manga to feature a black female hero, Saturday AM's steampunk action-adventure series Clock Striker has received glowing accolades from fans and industry professionals alike.

Clock Striker is rated T for Teen, recommended for ages 13 and up.

Frequently asked questions

You’ve asked, we answered.

Visit FAQ Page

Do you offer free shipping?

We offer free shipping on all orders over $75.

As a small, growing shop, we partner with trusted distributors to ship books directly to you. This allows us to offer a much wider selection while we build toward our first physical space.

We also use tiered shipping, which means the more you add to your cart, the lower the shipping cost per book becomes. So that means, even if you’re not quite at $75 yet, it often makes sense to grab one more volume and save overall.

Why shop with you instead of big retailers?

Every order supports a small, Latina-owned manga shop built by real fans who care deeply about the stories, the art, and the culture around it.

We curate with intention, not algorithms, and we’re building something bigger than a storefront: a space for collectors, readers, and fans to connect.

What is your return policy?

Because of how we currently fulfill orders, we’re not able to accept general returns at this time.

The only exception is if your order arrives damaged or incorrect. If you experience either, please reach out to us at casitademanga@gmail.com
and we’ll be more than happy to personally help you with a damage/error return.

Can I cancel or change my order?

We move quickly to get your order on its way.

If you need to make a change, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to catch it before it ships. Once it’s on the way, we’re unable to modify the order.
