Yoshihiro Iwamoto Rockman X2 Manga Re-Translation Completed

Hot on the heels of the Rockman EXE: Operate Shooing Star VS English translation, Azure Wind Productions finally completed the re-translation of Yoshihiro Iwamoto's Rockman X2 manga. The project took four solid months of hard work. 

To date, Azure Wind productions successfully re-translated a number of manga. These include the Rockman X1 and Rockman X4 volumes, two previously untranslated chapters from the Rockman X3 manga (Mars and Ikaros) and the extra story "Holiday". The later is a story that was drawn and included in the 2005 reprint as a bonus. 

That's all when it comes to Yoshihiro Iwamoto's Rockman X manga. But if you're a regular of Rockman Corner, you already know that Azure Wind translated the highly-regarded The Men Who Made Rockman, among other works.

While you wait for Azure Wind's eventual X3 re-translation, you can read the Rockman X2 manga, and all their translated works so far here!
