Michiro Ueyama to Serialize Zoids: New Century Final Arc in 2027
A 1999 to 2001 CoroCoro manga that continued unofficially on the author's own site is being drawn to its conclusion with the rights holder's approval, which is what turns a personal web project into a sanctioned sequel.
Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
Manga artist Michiro Ueyama announced on X that he will serialize the final arc of Zoids: New Century starting in 2027. The original manga ran in Shogakukan's Monthly CoroCoro Comic from 1999 to 2001. The project continues Zoids: New Century EX, a series he posted on his personal site about 20 years ago that was left unfinished. It proceeds with official approval from Takara Tomy.
Michiro Ueyama said the continuation of the portion already published on his site is in progress. No start date or publication platform has been settled, and he is weighing a format that is as accessible as possible for readers.
The original manga was a media mix work for the Zoids plastic model line, then run by Tommy (now Takara Tomy), and followed Van, his Zoid partner Zeke, and Fine on planet Zi. Ueyama also said The Villainess Reincarnation Uncle, running in Comic Y-OURS, will continue and that he will write it in parallel with the Zoids final arc.
