"Rockman-san" and "Rockman-chan" English and Spanish Fan Translations Now Available


A couple days ago we finally had the chance to check out the first chapters for the brand-new "Rockman-san" and "Rockman-chan" manga. And now, thanks to the hard work of two members from the Mega Man community, we can read them both in English and Spanish!

Our good friend Midori (who runs the Mega Man Tune-a-Day Twitter account) translated -San and -Chan  into to English. You can find those here and here.

Meanwhile, Aldo Cáceres Vilca, who runs a blog dedicated to translating Rockman manga and different books into Spanish, translated them as well. You can find his Spanish translation here.

Now that most of you can read -San and -Chan, let us know what you think in the comments! Don't forget to thank Midori and Aldo, too!

"Rockman-san" and "Rockman-chan" First Chapters Posted Online

Last December, it was announced that two brand-new Rockman manga would launch in Spring 2021. That day is upon us.

The first chapters for both Rockman-san and Rockman-chan have been posted on Young Ace UP for free. Although each are presented in Japanese, there's no doubt we'll be seeing fan translations soon. Official English adaptations have yet to be confirmed.

Rockman-san follows the every day life of a grown-up Rockman as he deals with the tumultuous demands of an adult world. Older versions of Roll and Robot Masters make up the supporting cast. Meanwhile, Rockman-chan is a gag manga starring an "innocent" Blue Bomber who carries out Dr. Light's often-ridiculous demands.

You can check out the first chapters here or, alternatively, the following direct links:

 

We'll let you know when English versions become available - no worries. New chapters are expected to drop on May 12th. Stay tuned for continued coverage!

Making Mega Man: Code Legend Pre-Orders Are Live


Ready to build your own motion-controlled Mega Man game? Pre-orders for the officially-licensed Making Mega Man: Code Legend toolkit are now available via Kickstarter.

There are four different tiers to choose from but a minimum pledge of $204 includes the kit itself and 10 guide books at a 20% "Early Bird" discount. All tiers include free shipping and handling to the U.S and Canada. It's expected to ship in July.

Although the kits are produced on a made-to-order basis, Artec are limiting production to 1,000 units. If the campaign is successful, though, they hope to offer additional kits through other platforms. For now, this Kickstarter is the only method to purchase the English version.
