Sanda is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki. It was serialized in July 2021 in Akita Shoten’s Shounen manga magazine Weekly Shounen Champion. As of June 2024, this manga has a total of 14 volumes.
Wikipedia describes this manga’s plot as:
“On December 25, when it was snowing, middle school student Sanda Kazushige’s body seal was broken by his classmate Fuyumura Shiori, making him look like Santa Claus. Later, Sanda discovers that he can change back into his middle school form by eating jellybeans, or change into Santa form by wearing red. The reason why Fuyumura lifted the seal was that she hoped that Sanda would help find her missing classmate Ono Ichie, and also hoped that he would remind the society of Christmas.“
