The ZX manga was originally published in 2007 by Enterbrain and later reprinted in 2020 by Fukkan. The reprint featured brand-new material and the ZX Advent manga which never saw light outside its initial serializtion within the pages of Famitsu DS+Wii magazine.
With these books, Rockman's digital library continues to grow. Ogino's works joins Iwamoto's Rockman X manga, Hitoshi Ariga's Megamix, Gigamix and Maniax, Koji Izuki's Rockman 8 and Rockman & Forte manga, and Takamisaki's and Miho Asada's Rockman EXE manga.
Hopefully Rockman 7 and Ryo Takamisaki Rockman Works SSR will be next!

Rockman-san and Rockman-chan's first tankÅbons are around the corner. And thanks to Amazon Japan, we can take a look not only the cover designs but also the back covers!

Battle Story Rockman EXE has joined the ever-expanding bookshelf of Rockman manga with an official digital release.
The three volumes penned by Jun Keijima and illustrated by Miho Asada are now available on Amazon Japan, Book Walker and other Japanese digital store fronts for 1,540 yen each. That's roughly $13.30 or 11,70€.
Originally published in four volumes from 2002 to 2004 and later compiled into three volumes in 2017, this manga gave us another take of the events of Rockman EXE 1-4. A few chapters were based on Rockman EXE Battle Chip GP as well (known in the west as Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge).
These last few years have seen a big influx of digital Rockman manga releases. Rockman X, Rockman EXE and Rockman 8, and of course Hitoshi's Ariga Rockman Megamix, Gigamix and Maniax. And because Battle Story's digital release pertain to the Fukkan reprints, next in line could be Rockman 7 or the Rockman ZX manga.
Keep your eyes peeled for more!
Yoshihiro Iwamoto's famed Rockman X manga is about to get new life! Starting August 11, all five volumes of the 2005 editions will go on sale across digital storefronts in Japan. These include Amazon, Rakuten, Book Walker, and others.
To commemorate the announcement, Iwamoto drew two special illustrations. You can see them here and here!
With over 2,000 pages, Iwamoto's Rockman X chronicles the events of the first four Rockman X games. These stories remain fan-favorites due to Iwamoto's penchant for over the top emotional and violent scenes. Unfortunately, the manga has never received an official English translation. This is reportedly due to the art style and length.
However, hope never dies! You can always tweet your thoughts to UDON and let them know you want it! Fan-translations will forever be a thing, but I think we can all agree we want to support Iwamoto's endeavors in an official capacity.
For now, if you have the means to do so, you can buy the digital versions in a matter of days.
