Zoids Franchise Announces New Chaotic Century Manga
A new chapter of Chaotic Century goes back to the 1999 Shogakukan manga and anime that built the franchise's audience, so Takara Tomy is betting on the older Zoids era rather than the more recent Wild project.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
The official X account for Takara Tomy's Zoids franchise announced on Friday that a new manga, tentatively titled Zoids: Chaotic Century Kanketsu-hen, is in the works. More details will be announced later. Michiro Ueyama's original Zoids: Chaotic Century manga ran in Shogakukan's Monthly Coro Coro Comics from 1999 to 2001, and the first anime premiered in 1999.
The announcement came without a platform, magazine, or start date, only the tentative title and a promise of details later. That is thin for a franchise that has been running model kits, anime, and manga since the Chaotic Century years. The last new Zoids manga was a crossover with Patlabor, launched by Naoto Tsushima on IMAGICA Infos' Hero Comics site in August 2025. Chaotic Century's original manga ended in 2001, so Kanketsu-hen reaches back two and a half decades for its source material.
