I think they only made one game out of it.

PWCW: How have these books done in the market?
IM: So-so; they could do better. They’re among Vertical’s bestsellers, but compared to other manga they could do better.


It might help if they were less random about each volume.

IM: We’re interested, but the depiction of black people in Kimba is problematic.


Toren said the same thing...Can it really be any worse than the Jazz Singer?

This is really great news. It would be nice to see them eventually print 'Jungle Emperor Leo'.

At least 'Viz' is finally getting the 'Phoenix' books finished.

The PlayStation 2 game is the only English-translated one, but there was also an adventure game on the PC-8801 platform in 1989. The PC-8801 platform didn't see much use outside Japan, which is mostly why this game isn't known widely overseas.
