Hell. Yes. I can't wait for this.

It's almost exactly like the movie, yes, and the movie is better - but there's this added little short part that's post-movie, at the end of this manga, and it's ridiculously adorable.

Thank you, I was just about to ask how similar they were plot-wise.

The artwork is quite lovely and I really liked the movie, so this will be a definite buy for me. Thanks, Vertical!

No problem haha. Though keep in mind, I'm talking about this main manga that Vertical licensed (also, it was originally in 3 volumes, rather than 2), not the 'King Kazuma V.S. Queen Oz' one. I have no idea about that one since it's the first time I've heard of it. I'll have to look into it now.

So this is an adaptation, not a true canon of the original movie? That's what the report seems to be implying to me. Looking at that cover drawing, and Natsuki's legs look a bit anorexic.

As long as I see more King Kazma fights and they don't suck, I don't care. I just need to see more of that fighting rabbit!

This is great news! I love Summer Wars, so it might be worth it to check out the manga!

As long as I can finally put this on my manga shelves I am going to be happy.

Just hoping there aren't many typos.
