"Battle Story Rockman EXE" Manga Now Available Digitally

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!

Unseen Rockman 8 and Power Battle Design Docs Shown at "Capcom vs. Tezuka" Exhibit

One of the main selling points of the Capcom vs. Osamu Tezuka Characters art exhibit was the chance to take a peek at rare design documents and other production materials that trace Capcom and Osamu Tezuka's history.

A 12-page design document from Rockman: The Power Battle was shown at the first exhibit at the Osamu Tezuka Memorial Hall in Takarazuka (Hyōgo). Later on, when the exhibit premiered in Tokyo for a little over two weeks, a 22-page design document from Rockman 8 was shown for the very first time. 

With the prohibition of picture taking inside the exhibit, the chances of us seeing those documents where small. However, that changed about a month ago when the Capcom vs. Osamu Tezuka Characters Artbook was released...
