WHAT GUNNM MANGA/ANIME IS THERE AVAILABLE?
Gunnm was first published in typical manga format, as part of one of those large “telephone book” comics in Japan. Compilations (called “tankoubons”) came afterwards. The Viz english translations follow a similar trend, Battle Angel Alita being first published as a typical North American 25 page comic with subsequent compilations (the “graphic novels”) coming out later on. The Japanese manga and English-language translations have already ended in Japan, the ninth and last installments published in July 1995 and July 1998 respectively.
