We don’t know when–or if–a new Mega Man game will ever be released, but we do know that the adventures of this Capcom icon do make for some great reading. In case you missed it, the first volume of Little Mega Man was released a few months ago, and the second volume is scheduled to arrive on August 19. These are cute and surprisingly hilarious manga strips that star Mega Man during his early days, and they feature some fantastic art.
Little Mega Man Volume One
$14
Little Mega Man Volume One is 196 pages in size, is illustrated by Yukito, and written by Yuushi Kawata. The duo had previously collaborated Mr. Mega Man–a gag manga that reimagines as an adult trying to lead a peaceful life as a dentist–and Little Mega Man is another fun spin on the character.
Little Mega Man Volume Two
$14 | Releases August 19
Little Mega Man Volume Two amplifies the absurdity of the manga, as the Blue Bomber takes on strange new foes–like Demon Man, Sushi Man, and Plasma TV Man–meets his European counterpart, and even runs into his future self, Mega Man X.
These official English localizations have been produced by publisher Udon Entertainment in collaboration with Capcom, a company you might recognize for its other licensed works in the Street Fighter franchise.
As mentioned above, you can also grab Mr. Mega Man to read all about the horrors of adulthood. Meanwhile, Mega Man’s old sparring partners have also entered the workforce, resulting in Robot Masters now earning a decent living. Cut Man is a barber, Flame Man is a chef, and Top Man is an online influencer, but something sinister is lurking in the shadows.
