posted on by Christopher Macdonald
The upcoming re-release of the Battle Angel Alita manga by Viz will include some extras not seen in their original release
Viz will be re-releasing Battle Alita in their new, smaller format starting with volume 1, Rusty Angel, on December 10th. In addition to being in Viz's new smaller, standardized format, the re-releases will also include extras that were seen in some foreign releases but not in Viz's previous release.
Volumes 1 through 8 will include background pages pertaining to the respective volume, usually a diagram with a short bio on a particular character and/or venue, and sometimes a little strip cartoon too.
Volume 9 will include an afterword by Yukito Kishiro.
In addition, Viz informs us that they will also be running the series in the same episodic order as the original Shueisha Japanese version.
Volume 2 is set to be available in March, with volume 3 following in May.
