Capcom celebrates Mega Man's 33rd anniversary with manga and musical releases

Capcom is celebrating Mega Man's 33rd anniversary in a number of ways. We already know about some new merch in the works, and now Capcom has revealed some other goodies coming up.

Over in Japan, Mega Man fans will be able to snag two new manga series for the Blue Bomber. Mega Man-chan follows Mega Man as he tackles Dr. Light's requests to subdue enemies, while Mega Man-san will focus on a grown-up Mega Man who's learning to deal with adult society. Both of these will be published on Young Ace UP starting in Spring 2021.

Along with that, a new musical release for Mega Man is on the way. Captune ONE releases Spring 2021, and it includes arrangements of BGMs from various Mega Man titles made by Captune, a band formed by members of the Capcom Sound Team. Songs included in the album are “Running Through The Cyber World” from Mega Man: Battle Network, “Esperanto” from Mega Man Zero 4, and “Dr. Wily Stage 1” from Mega Man 2.
