About the series
In 1994, Viz Media released a single-issue special, Battle Angel Alita: Tears of an Angel, a poignant side story to Yukito Kishiro's original Battle Angel Alita manga. This standalone tale follows Alita as she hunts a rogue scientist through the lawless Scrapyard, confronting the emotional weight of her past. While brief, it deepens the series' lore by exploring themes of memory and loss, and remains a cherished, if compact, chapter for fans of Kishiro's cyberpunk world.
