Given its 'atypical' universe, Hirano and the publisher, Shōnen Gahōsha, decided to test the reception with readers, explaining that that was the reason why the start of the series may seem 'a little disjointed,' and that after the reception turned out to be positive, it was decided to make it a serialized work. Afterwards, Hirano considered to create another story, using the same setting, removing the erotic side and focusing more on the action, explaining that this was the origin of Hellsing. Hirano said that the original story did not take him long to create, and that the fact that he was drawing hentai at the time afforded him the opportunity to have it published. Hirano commented that it was not his intention to create a story of this genre, and that he only wanted to create a 'somewhat daring' action story.
