Mobile Suit Gundam Valpurgis Manga Continues (Updated)
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The November issue of Kadokawa's Gundam Ace magazine revealed on Thursday that Hiyon Katsuragi and Reiji Kaitō's Mobile Suit Gundam Valpurgis manga would have a "final conclusion" in its next chapter on October 26.
The story takes place in Universal Century 0089. The magazine describes the manga's protagonist Mashiro Oaks as a high school student on Side 2 Colony "Olympus." He gets the high score on a game titled "Valpurgis Night" and, by distributing the video on an underground network, he gets noticed. The tagline reads, "Young Man, defy your cursed fate!!"
Katsuragi (Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: First Evolution) and Kaito (Unbreakable Machine-Doll) launched the manga in Gundam Ace in August 2017, but the manga's "chapter 0" was distributed via an event on the Super Gundam Royale game. Kadokawa published the manga's fourth compiled book volume on September 21.
The manga is a collaboration between Gundam Ace and Bandai Namco Entertainment to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Gundam Ace and the 30th anniversary of Gundam video games.
Update on November 28, 2021: While the magazine had stated in September 2019 that the manga would have a "final conclusion" in its next chapter on October 26, the manga continued on past that point. The manga's eighth volume on November 26, 2021 revealed that the manga will end in its ninth volume.
