B't X

In the early 2000s, French publisher Pika Édition brought Masami Kurumada's B't X to European readers, a sci-fi saga originally serialized in Japan. This eight-issue series follows a young inventor and his powerful, living mechanical steed, the eponymous B't X, as they battle a sinister empire. Known for the creator's signature dynamic style—also seen in Saint Seiya—the comic delivers high-stakes mecha combat and a bond between human and machine. It stands as a key example of Kurumada's post-Saint Seiya work, merging fantasy and technology in a compact, action-packed run.
