Acky Bright is drawing GalaXic Baseball League for Viz Media and MLB Players Inc., and told Anime Herald at New York Comic Con that the current tournament arc should run about five volumes. Viz has also sent him on a United States signing tour timed to the first print volume.
Acky Bright's GalaXic Baseball League began as a licensed collaboration between Viz Media and MLB Players Inc., announced in May with a digital launch on the Viz Manga app on July 2 and a print volume in October. At New York Comic Con, Bright told Anime Herald the story started as an idea from the MLB Players Association and that the contracts took about two years to settle. He put the current tournament arc at about five volumes, a stretch he compares to a first season, and said a spider-like character arrives in chapter six.
The print side moved the project from an app release into a retail event. Viz scheduled a United States signing tour for Bright at Kinokuniya stores in New York, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, running October 13 through October 18 and starting on the release date of the first volume. Attendees receive a poster.
Across the three stories, the shape of the book has firmed up: a digital-first launch, a first collected volume in October, and a tournament arc Bright now measures in volumes rather than chapters. His comments at New York Comic Con also point past the tournament, since he describes league arcs beyond it while the chapter six character addition shows the cast still growing during the current run.
