List of Beyblade Burst volumes
The manga "Beyblade Burst" is written and illustrated by Hiro Morita. The plot starts with Valt Aoi, an exuberant boy obsessed with the game of Beyblade. After receiving his first Bey, the Attack Type Valtryek Wing Accel, Valt gains prominence in the Beyblade world after facing and defeating reputable Bladers.

It should noted that the total number of published "Beyblade Burst" chapters are inconsistent with the ordinal list.
