UDON Entertainment has announced the release of two new Mega Man manga titles, Mr. Mega Man Volume 1 and Little Mega Man Volume 1, both available in storesright now. Created by Yushi Kawata and Yukito, these titles seek to offer unique takes on the beloved 8-bit hero.
In Mr. Mega Man Volume 1, the Blue Bomber faces an unexpected challenge—middle age. Now known as Rock, he works alongside his sister Roll as a dentist, socialises with former adversaries over “Adult E-Tank” drinks, and reflects on life’s bigger questions. However, this humorous and reflective chapter in his life is disrupted by the rise of a new robotic threat.
Meanwhile, Little Mega Man Volume 1 brings a comedic twist to the ongoing rivalry between Dr. Wily and Mega Man. This gag-filled adventure features absurd new Robot Masters such as Visual Kei Man, Comfy Chair Man, and Nostra-Man-damus. Supporting Mega Man are quirky companions, including a real dog version of Rush sporting a helmet, and the unexpected return of Bad Box Art Mega Man.
Fans can look forward to more volumes from both series, the upcoming Mega Man X-Dive art book, and new comics starting with Mega Man Timelines #0: Free Comic Book Day Special in May. You can read more about each of the manga series below:
