Fans of flying robots, there’s good news: publisher Digital Manga has announced plans to bring the complete manga libarary of Astro Boy creator Osamu Tezuka to North America for the very first time. No specific titles have been announced just yet, but the publisher told Anime News Network that it will serve as the “primary manga distributor” for the creator’s work. And Tezuka certainly has a large body of work to choose from, dating all the way back to the 1940s. Digital Manga is expected to launch Tezuka’s entire library in digital formats, though no dates have been announced just yet, while print editions could also be possible through Kickstarter funding.
