Crystal Dragon began serialization in Akita Shoten's monthly (girls') manga magazine Bonita in 1981, later transferring to its sister magazine Mystery Bonita. The series went on hiatus from 2007 to 2014, during which Ashibe resumed her other long-running manga series, Bride of Deimos. It went on hiatus again in summer 2020 due to unspecified circumstances. In April 2021, Ashibe announced that the series is nearing its climax. Akita Shoten has published 30 tankōbon (compiled volumes) of Crystal Dragon under the Bonita Comics imprint as of November 2020; the company also published 12 bunkoban (paperback novel-sized volumes) under the Akita Bunko imprint from July 2003 to July 2007. Internationally, the series is licensed in Indonesia by Elex Media Komputindo.
