Shooting Star Rockman has been seeing a teeny tiny resurgence lately, and that trend continues with Fukkan’s latest announcement. For the first time, all four volumes of Masaya Itagaki’s Shooting Star Rockman manga will be released as Kindle e-books, arriving on Amazon Japan on Friday, August 22nd.
The first three volumes loosely adapt the events of Shooting Star Rockman 1, while the fourth volume, Tribe Shooting Star Rockman Battle Side Story, includes some elements and characters from Shooting Star Rockman 2. Although the series never received an official English release, it was published in Indonesia and Thailand back in 2012.
Content-wise, these digital editions are expected to match the original print runs, but with refreshed logos and Fukkan branding. Pre-orders are currently live for those with access to Amazon Japan.

Interesting! I just got a hold of my last copy of the physical edition of this series. I wonder if this is all leading up to a release of a Legacy Collection? Could just be a license renewal thing, though. Better to have it offered digitally than not at all.
