Udon will release the first volume on January 27, with the second and third volumes shipping in April and July, respectively. Udon has previewed pages from the first volume on its blog.
Hitoshi Ariga also drew the spinoff manga to The Big O anime series. Viz Media holds the rights to the manga and have released all six volumes, although it is now out of print. Viz Media have also published the 13-volume MegaMan NT Warrior manga series.
