B'tX

In the early 2000s, Editora JBC brought Masami Kurumada's B'tX to Brazilian readers, publishing the full 16-issue run from 2005 to 2006. This sci-fi action series follows a young inventor and his living, armored mecha—the B't—as they battle in a deadly tournament for the sake of a kidnapped brother. Kurumada's signature dynamic art and high-stakes combat, familiar to fans of Saint Seiya, drive this standalone tale of loyalty and mechanical evolution. The Brazilian edition stands as a key moment for manga localization, introducing a complete, self-contained Kurumada saga to a new audience.
