This is a "must buy" for me. I'm so happy to finally have a chance to own these. I already have all the Geneon DVD's. and I'm glad that I have them since I doubt they will ever get a license rescue.

Nice to see this series coming back, this time in it's original format for the manga. This actually was a good series, where it's definitely something that could've been done as a live action no problem.

It has a feel of a Tintin with a Japanese soldier, mainly in Europe (from what I can remember), instead of a young Brussels reporter/investigator.

This will be cool to read up once again.

So are they going to release it in singles, or 2-in-1s like with Monster?

I love Urasawa's work, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get this one. Urasawa apparently has a strong dislike of Digital formats. And I only buy digital these days.

If these turns up in the VIZ Media app, I'll be all over it. But if not... guess I'm going to miss out.

Probably singles. It will be on the Signature line, so it will probably have the nice gloss covers like House of 5 Leaves.

I understand that Urasawa is the much bigger name, but I feel this article is extremely misleading by not even mentioning once Keaton's actual author, Hokusei Katsushika.

Wow, I never thought we would be getting that one, considering that the series pretty much came and went without making much of a dent in fandom. I look forward to picking this up after Christmas.

Megiddo: TBH, out of all the non-Pluto Urasawa stories I've read/watched so far, Master Keaton's the only one which doesn't suffer (as much) from the typical Urasawa-ism of him going off on tangents. So I'm going to bet the reason for that is Katsuhika kept him in check.
