Battle Angel Alita Deluxe Edition 1
Battle Angel Alita Deluxe Edition 1 | Yukito Kishiro
6 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
After more than a decade out of print, the original cyberpunk action classic returns in glorious 400-page hardcover deluxe editions, featuring an all-new translation, color pages, and new cover designs! In a dump in the lawless settlement of Scrapyard, far beneath the mysterious space city of Zalem, disgraced cyber-doctor Daisuke Ido makes a strange find: the detached head of a cyborg woman who has lost all her memories. He names her Alita and equips her with a powerful new body, the Berserker. While Alita remembers no details of her former life, a moment of desperation reawakens in her nerves the legendary school of martial arts known as Panzer Kunst. In a place where there is no justice but what people make for themselves, Alita decides to become a hunter-killer, tracking down and taking out those who prey on the weak. But can she hold onto her humanity as she begins to revel in her own bloodlust?

I loved the movie so I was happy when I found the manga.
Enjoyable steampunk.
Alita should be up there with the classics of Ghost in the Shell
Alita is fierce and adorable who puts her heart into everything

Speaking of Cinder, I watched the trailer of Alita: Battle Angel and it reminded me so much of Cinder and the Lunar Chronicles series. Has anyone read Alita the manga? Is it me or there are a lot of similarities in the stories?

I am in love with manga perfect editions / re-releases. Better quality print, larger pages, and summed up, not really more expensive than the normal volumes.
I always wanted to read Battle Angel Alita and I am really happy I finally stumbled upon this!

TricksyTails 😍 Gorgeous edition! 6y

WarpedSweetness Yessss!!! This was a good manga! I'm really looking forward to the movie. 6y
DuckOfDoom What do you think about the large eyes in the movie trailer? 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @DuckOfDoom it definitely threw me off at first, but grew on me quickly. It's odd...but I kinda like it. It gives it that manga/anime feel. Might be a little over the top - but I'm thinking it will match the heavy cgi/live action blend that they got going on. 6y
DuckOfDoom I agree totally. I hope the CGI will be as good as the trailer the whole movie 6y

When you already own a bunch of #Manga you haven't read yet but see the live action trailer for something awesome and then drive all the way across town to the only bookstore that is carrying the title you want because you NEED to read it NOW! 😂

Seriously though, check out this brand new trailer on YouTube... 😍 https://youtu.be/aj8mN_7Apcw

TK421 The trailer was awesome! I loved the manga and anime, but I haven't even thought about this title in years. I think its time to re-visit them again! 6y
GrilledCheeseSamurai @TK421 the Deluxe editions are really great! Or at least Volume 1 is. V2 comes out in February and V3 comes out in March. Completing the series! This is one of the ones I never got around to reading back in the day so it's all brand new for me. 👍 6y
