The original Fate/strange Fake story was first published as an April Fool’s joke by Ryohgo Narita (known for Baccano! and Durarara!!) in April 2008. Narita later expanded the story into a Fate/strange Fake supplement for the Type-Moon Ace Vol. 2 magazine and eventually into a full-fledged light novel series illustrated by Shizuki Morii, which launched in January 2015. Kadokawa’s Dengeki Bunko imprint published the seventh light novel volume in February. Morii has also been simultaneously drawing the manga adaptation.
