Amazing news - I still go through the old Viz editions of The Origin on occasion, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's art is just tremendous (Bright's expressions alone!)

I may have to pick up the Azuma book too, I hadn't heard of the newest one and it's quite neat to see it being announced relatively quickly like this.

Wolfsmund is a maybe, but it might be too gory and dark. I'll wait for reviews from the blogosphere and ANN.


If you dont like em dark then you wont like wolfsmund, there are no happy endings in the stuff I've read.

Personally though im pretty stoked i'll be picking it up for sure.

Then again 23 volumes in hardback for a franchise I'm not really into is a bit of a hard sale, first volume would really have to grab me.


Actually it's ten volumes in hardcover. 23 volumes of the paperback are combined to make the set.

Wolfsmund looks sort of interesting, and I might actually like it. Though if it is only a series of stand alone chapters with no real continuing characters the series better be short because I don't think that sort of format works over longer series.


actually there is a continuing story. The story is about William Tell and his crusade against the Wolfsmund.


Hi, Ed! Thanks for responding to me. Well I can say that your comments have drastically increased my interest in both titles. Though I do think I'll wait for reviews to come in before I run out and buy Wolfsmund, or at least I say that now.
But fun new titles that are interesting a nice addition to the Vertical catalogue, not like I don't give you enough of my manga money already, I'm sure you'll appreciate more. Rolling Eyes (Can't wait to hear what the Josei title is)

Someone is keeping tight-lipped about it, but it should be announced at New York Comic Con alongside a Tezuka title.

Excellent, The Origin is fantastic. I have the Aizouban editions published so far, and they're absolutely gorgeous; if the Vertical editions are anything at all like them, we're in for a real treat. I kinda hope Vertical's adaptation is a bit less...utilitarian than Viz's was. Yasuhiko really manages to convey character through dialogue, and though Viz's translation was plenty decent, I felt that it didn't really match the original for sheer characterization.

Just a correction: the series is going to be at least 11 volumes in hardcover. There are 2 tankouban volumes per hardcover, and 23 total, though it remains to be seen if there'll be a larger 11th volume or a shorter 12th one. I'm thinking it'll probably be the latter, as there's a short Sayla epilogue written by Yas that takes place three years after the end of the series. I imagine that'll be included.

Unless Vertical is doing something different than the Japanese releases, then no, it's at least 11. Volume 10 of the hardcover volumes was just published, and it's not the ending.

Hey guys, I'm wondering. With how many manga chapters there are for Origin, how many anime episodes would that translate to?

They still haven't released any info on the supposed anime. I'm skeptical about whether it'll happen with all this silence. Maybe the Gundam headmasters don't want the original story to be retold/ruined.
