While we in the west have done pretty well getting translated Mega Man manga these past few years, it still doesn’t scratch the surface of all that’s been made in Japan. One of the earliest and yet most prolific original Rockman series was by Shigeto Ikehara. Starting in 1992, he wrote episodic manga covering Rockman […]

Following in line with Mega Man Zero‘s 10th anniversary, passionate fans in Japan are putting together something pretty special. It’s a community collaboration called the “Rockman Zero 10th Anniversary Anthology.” This self published book (aka doujinshi), contains 110 pages of short comics and illustrations by talented Zero fans. What’s more, it also has an interview […]

For the collectors out there, an interesting bit of info has been passed our way by Ratchphis. Over at Tokyo Hunter, they are currently having their second “Post Wonder Festival Sale” for Winter 2012. And among the items on sale? Resin kits from 2010 based on Rockman X. The first item is a 1/6 scale […]

The last time we saw X’s manga-nificent gal-pal Merti/Marti/whatever, she was looking a little… well, barren. At least, insofar as her attire was concerned. And truth be told, not much has changed… but, that isn’t to say nothing has changed. Courtesy of Auto, we have a new pic (click to enlarge) of the Reploid-mermaid-pirate-Saint Seiya […]

H’ooooooh man. We’re not gonna need to install an age gate on this site are we? Here is the basic color cast of Yama Tai Koku’s Merti garage kit, commissioned by Rockman X manga writer Yoshihiro Iwamoto himself. If you could attend Wonder Fest next month and purchase the kit, this is essentially what you’d […]

It took a long, long time, but as of late, things have been pretty good for fans of Rockman manga… particularly those who cannot speak Japanese. Thanks to the efforts of UDON Entertainment, we’ve been able to enjoy the works of Mega Man Megamix, Mega Man ZX, and Mega Man Gigamix without need for a […]

CHRISTMAAAAAAAS!!  HYAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAAA- Bit from Mega Man X3 may not seem like he has anything to do with Christmas, but fans of the Rockman X manga by Yoshihiro Iwamoto ought to know differently. An image that has become a meme among Rockman fans is the above frame of Bit, looking rather psychotic and screaming “MERRY CHRISTMAS!!” […]

Hey X, still have a reason to act all emo and depressed? A couple months back we reported on the announcement of a garage kit in the works for the original Rockman X manga character Merti. And not just any garage kit, but one officially endorsed by series author Yoshihiro Iwamoto. Mr. Iwamoto has been […]

The time is nigh! And if you’re anything like we are, then you have no doubt been chomping at the bit in anticipation of the release of the third and final volume of UDON Entertainment and Hitoshi Ariga’s epic Mega Man Gigamix manga series. Thankfully, after some reported scares from Amazon.com about the book being […]

Now here’s a little news which should hopefully brighten up some days! Hitoshi Ariga, the writer and artist behind the ever-popular Mega Man Megamix, Mega Man Gigamix, Rockman Remix (with MegaMission), and Rockman 9 manga (among others– Big O, anyone?), has joined the many vast and varied artists who make up the deviantART community! Just […]

Been wondering when that next awesome Mega Man manga is coming out? Or when some new reprints are going to be filled? UDON’s Matt Moylan has contacted us with the low down. Mega Man: Robot Master Field Guide: This project has been through a lot! It turned out to be a lot more work than […]

Here’s a real interesting one for you figure and model fans. Perhaps you’re familiar with Merti, an original character in Yoshihiro Iwamoto’s Rockman X manga series. I never really thought she looked like much of a Rockman-esque character, but then I don’t see a lot of guys complaining… Today Iwamoto put up a teaser page […]
