Alita’s back, baby! After a 10-month hiatus, Yukito Kishiro’s Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle has revealed a new chapter on the digital Comic Days platform. The chapter is the 52nd overall.
The Return of Alita

A Glimpse into the Saga
First launched in 2014, Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle is the third installment in the iconic Battle Angel Alita series. Set on the red planet Mars, the manga delves into the backstory of Alita, shedding light on her childhood and the thrilling adventures that lie ahead. Published by Kodansha in the US, the series promises a riveting narrative that spans across space and time.
The Creator’s Journey
Yukito Kishiro, the mastermind behind the Battle Angel Alita universe, had previously hinted that the 56th chapter would mark the end of the current story arc. However, he reassured fans that the saga would continue under a new title, ensuring that the beloved characters and universe would live on.
In a surprising twist, Kishiro disclosed on his blog in December that he had suffered an avulsion fracture in his leg, adding a touch of real-life drama to the unfolding narrative. Despite this setback, the creator remains dedicated to bringing Alita’s story to life, captivating readers with his unparalleled storytelling and artistic prowess.
As fans eagerly await the next chapter in the epic sci-fi saga, the return of Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle signals a new beginning filled with mystery, excitement, and the promise of unparalleled adventure. Get ready to embark on a journey like no other, as Alita prepares to face her destiny on the red sands of Mars.
