Akita Shoten launched a new manga based on Leiji Matsumoto’s Captain Harlock manga titled Captain Harlock – Arcadia no Kioku (Captain Harlock – Memoires de L’Arcadia or Captain Harlock – Memories of the Arcadia) on its Manga Cross website on Tuesday.
The first part of Matsumoto and Kōichi Shimahoshi’s Captain Harlock: Dimensional Voyage (Captain Harlock: Jigen Kōkai) manga ended in Akita Shoten’s Champion RED magazine on January 19.
In Matsumoto’s original 1977-79 Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga, the title character rebels against Earth’s inept government and fights for humanity with his crew of 40 aboard the invincible space battleship Arcadia.
French artist Jérôme Alquié is credited for the art, while Matsumoto is credited for the original work, setting, and designs.
