The series is published in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment. An anime television series adaptation by Liden Films began airing on January 12, 2019; the anime series is licensed in North America under Crunchyroll-Funimation partnership.
The following weapons were used in the anime series Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka:
GRU Operative Constantine Asimov points what appears to be an MP-443 "Grach" on Iizuka Yoshiaki in the battlefield outside Mt. Aso in "The Magical Girl Comes Back". This would make sense as the MP-443 is the standard service pistol of the Russian military and law enforcement.
