the first chapter of the new arc is out

https://comic-days.com/episode/12207421983615484271

>Austad, one of the four elders of mecha, plots to unify Mars and restore the Martian Empire of Maworus. Having finally entered the world of mecha, Yoko and Erika find themselves living through an era of turbulent storms that will engulf the entire solar system.

>>287911150

Gally better put it to shame, I want to see her murder dangerous enemies.

...it ended, you dropped a manga less than 4 chapters before the end?

>>287912723
Mars so far is a eternal medieval germans + guerrilla wars trying to get a bit more of power than the people that lives in the nearest mountain with big parts of the population suffering hunger while there is a lottery about becoming the membrane that keeps areas in the planet habitable.
I don't remember if kids have legally no human rights yet or if it evolved from how nice Mars is.

It's been forever since this flashback started, jesus christ

what was the last thing that happened in the present, again?

>>
>>287918065
I mean earth is part of the solar network again so he could leave for some diplomatic mission maybe even with our guy khaos but for any of that to happen we would need to get out of the flashback.
On that note was it ever explained why the rest of the solar system just let earth fall apart and didn't interact with it at all? I mean it was a shithole but it didn't seem anyworse than mars
>>
>>287918199
>On that note was it ever explained why the rest of the solar system just let earth fall apart and didn't interact with it at all? I mean it was a shithole but it didn't seem anyworse than mars
I guess the martian colonists wanted to live on the land and terraform mars the same way venus was
whereas the ruling class on earth didn't care about rebuilding on earth, the whole point was to avoid the risk of human extinction from meteorite impacts in the first place. So the ruling class from earth built jeru and were happy to live there and forget about earth, while the venusians and martians never had a reason to leave the surface in the first place
also I think someone mentioned treaties around not developing land on earth. Officially there were no living humans on it
>>
>>287918275
Ah thanks, I should probably start a reread because i can't remember most of the lore
>>
>>287918159
Maybe he's an honest to god AI that's just pretending to be a cyborg?
>>
>>287918557
yeah I wonder
like in modern day gunnm there's very little distinction between a robot and a cyborg with a digital brain.
But ~300 years in the past a person with a brainchip would most likely not be seen as human, or even think of themselves as human
>>
>>287911150
>the first chapter of the new arc is out
Oh great! Another run of Gunnm from Kishiro saying he's going to end only to get filled by introducting characters while phazing out older ones without actually delivering on anything until the next manga... haha...

>>287913187
>>287913227
At least they're finally training. But did he really have to jump into it like nothing? Kishiro has an adhd problem, fucker gets too sidetracked with ease

>>287913744
Reminder: Vilma is still exploding in that plane.
>>
>>287913187
So the kids aren't all cyborgs to begin with? Is this training just an excuse to chop them all up and put them into mechanical bodies?
>>
>>287919703
Probably

Kids are illegal in most of space except for Mars Kingdom Parliament which is Alita's current friend faction. This was brought about by Ping Wu stealing the nanobot technology from Venus and making it public, which made everyone nigh immortal but kids as in new generation became a threat to current way of things.

I love Last Order worldbuilding.

Can someone remind me in what order should i read the Alita manga ? ive read the original one, ive also read last order and some volumens of mars chorincles. It is a very messy history.

Start at chapter 1
>>
>>287929885
i mean thats the order, og alita, last order, mars and then this new manga. The only confusing part is that og Alita has a retconned ending. The canonical ending is chapter 51. The subsequent "ANOTHER FIGHT" chapters were created because the author thought he was going to die and wanted to wrap up the story.

How was Mars Wars Chronicles? I only read part of it cause the release schedule or translations slowed down
>>
>>287930617
>The only confusing part is that og Alita has a retconned ending. The canonical ending is chapter 51.
It's more of an expansion than a retcon since Last Order continues from the moment Nova exploded Alita and after all the plot it ends with Figure Four and Alita reuniting. Nothing complicated at all.

>>287918199
>>287918275
After recovering, humanity's goal were the stars, so the surface was left behind and stagnated while all the development happened in space.
>>
>>287929885
first manga, then last order, then that spinoff of last order side stories, then mars chronicle and finally panzerkunst chronicle. Keep in mind LO retcons the last few chapters of the original so you might be confused.

If you want a prequel set on mars covering alitas backstory and world building you will be happy.

Kishiro is a sensible guy after all. When thought he was gonna die he actually just speedrun the ending for the first series in a rather spectacular yet definitely less elaborate manner. Pretty rare for an author to give a shit about the tying up the story
