If you love manga, you might want to look into getting yourself a Japanese Wii. Sunsoft's WiiWare manga download service, which debuted in January with Princess Ai Monogatari, is kicking things into high gear next month with an original series from Star Blazers creator Leiji Matsumoto.
The new series is titled Out of Galaxy: Gin no Koshika. Set in the year 2099, the manga follows the adventures of You Haguro and Hajime Umino, who head off on a journey through space and time in an effort to save mankind from extinction.
As with Princess Ai Monogatari, Out of Galaxy will be available as a series of downloads. The first download will be priced at 500 WiiPoints and will include the required viewing software along with an unpecified number of volumes. Subsequent downloads will cost 200 WiiPoints but will require the viewing software from the first download.
Also similar to Princess Ai Monogatari, Out of Galaxy will come standard with English subtitles. This seems to be a strong hit at an English release.
In fact, Sunsoft says that it hopes to make the manga download service an international thing. We'll let you know once specific plans have been set, but for now only owners of the Japanese Wii system will be able to access this content.
