I believe the first page announces that Volume 4 of Atom: The Beginning will be out December 5th, though I'm not 100% certain.

A few notes about this chapter:

  • The next chapter of Atom The Beginning will be released a little earlier on December 29th.
  • As should be obvious, this chapter announces that the anime for Atom The Beginning is coming in 2017.
  • Noh Uno returns in this chapter, and another familiar Astro Boy villain appears:

The preview for Chapter 28 is now available:

I'm not too knowledgeable in Japanese, but I believe the first page says that the fifth volume of the Atom The Beginning manga will be released on April 5. Will have to get confirmation on that.

Also, an interview with Tetsuro Kasahara was posted on the official Osamu Tezuka website. It features some behind-the-scenes work on the Atom The Beginning anime:

I've been reading back through this thread to check, though it's possible I may have missed any comments on this matter, but is there any official English version of the manga? Or any info on whether there will be one?
I had planned on waiting longer (until it would be more likely for there to be an official translation I could buy somewhere) to start reading this manga, but my sister tempted me into reading some scans of it with her online. :blush: We read through the first 6 chapters (which was all they had available) in about an hour, and now we're trying to decide if it'd be better to wait for a translated version or buy what we can as it is now.

Sadly, there's no official English version of the manga, and there's been no word on whether or not there will be one. :(

I think if the Atom The Beginning anime gets popular enough, an official English version of the manga could happen. That's just my speculation though.
