Titan Manga Licenses Break Blade For Anniversary Edition
Titan is picking up a mecha series whose English release stopped after three volumes when CMX closed, so the announcement revives a license that has sat incomplete in North America since 2010.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
Titan Manga will release a special anniversary edition of Yunosuke Yoshinaga's Break Blade manga in English on December 15. The series ran from its 2007 debut to a 20th and final compiled volume in 2022, published in Japan by Flex Comix and later continued on G-mode's Comic Meteor site. CMX Manga released three volumes in North America before the imprint shut down in 2010.
Titan Manga's December 15 release is a special anniversary edition, and it covers a series that finished at 20 compiled volumes in 2022. The North American edition is the one that has been missing: CMX Manga put out three volumes before DC Comics shut the imprint down in 2010, leaving the run unfinished in English. The property has also traveled through other formats, including a six-part anime film series released by Sentai Filmworks and a 12-episode television version that premiered in April 2014.
