About the series
In the early 2000s, Viz Media brought Battle Angel Alita back to American shelves with a nine-issue series that re-presented Yukito Kishiro's iconic cyberpunk saga. This run collected the original manga's story of the amnesiac cyborg Alita, a lethal warrior searching for her lost memories in a dystopian future. It served as a key entry point for English-speaking readers, showcasing Kishiro's detailed artwork and visceral action. For fans of manga and sci-fi, this series was a vital reintroduction to a foundational character of the medium.
