Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin MSD: Cucuruz Doan no Shima will tell the story of Cucuruz Doan, a character who appeared in the similarly-titled 15th episode of Yoshiyuki Tomino’s original Mobile Suit Gundam anime series.
The June issue of Kadokawa’s Gundam Ace magazine announced on Tuesday that it will begin serializing a spinoff manga of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko’s Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga titled Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin MSD: Cucuruz Doan no Shima (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin MSD: Cucuruz Doan’s Island) in the magazine’s July issue on May 26.
Yasuhiko’s Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga is also inspired by and re-imagines the original Mobile Suit Gundam series.
The manga is also inspiring an ongoing OVA prequel series that tells the story of the rise of series antagonist Char Aznable.
