Hey! I'm sorry if I'm annoying you with this ask, but recently I finished watching the T&B anime and I really want to read the manga, but I'm a bit lost and I don't know where to start, because I have heard that there are more than one version (I don't know if that is true), so I wanted to ask for advice. There are more than one version of the manga? if that's the case, where should I start? Do you know where can I read it? Thank you so much, I hope you have a nice day!
Hi anon! I promise you are not annoying me, you (or anyone!) can ask or send me anything any time! I love T&B so much so I love to help however I can❤💚 Firstly, the manga can all be read in any order you want! None of them are connected to one another in any way. When people say there are two manga, they are referring to the following two: Miracle Jump Serialization: The Miracle Jump version (often abbreviated simply MJ) is written by Erika Yoshida and illustrated by Hiroshi Ueda. This manga takes place in between the events in the main series, so I guess you could technically consider it to be canon(?) There is no physical copy in English as it never got an official English release. Afaik it's never been translated in full but you can read most of it here! https://mangadex.org/title/7231545b-39ce-4d51-a825-b905b16691a3 New Type Ace Serialization:
The New Type Ace version (NTA), by Mizuki Sakakibara, is my personal favorite of the two! It starts off similar enough but there is a canon divergence from the main series, it's an AU of sorts where the events transpire very differently and the main villain is actually someone different than the show. While there are official physical copies, the fan translation, imo, is the superior version because there are bonus chapters and 4-koma that are really funny (and sometimes touching) that were never released in the official English volumes. Unfortunately, the last three volumes (7-9) were never scanlated (unless you speak Russian) but you can buy them officially. If you like Yuri (which I assume you do to some extent since you are here! :D) I recommend buying the last three volumes as he plays a pretty big role in volume 7 and volume 9. You can read volume 1-6 here: https://mangadex.org/title/ae039b61-72e2-4513-b091-bd7426d2ee44 Other Manga: There are actually 3 other English manga! The comic anthology (exactly what it sounds like. Short gag chapters, 4koma, all made by guest artists) of which there are two volumes and The Beginning Manga (Side A and Side B) both of which follow the plot of the Beginning movie. The last is a oneshot done by the one and only Katsura Matsakazu. The comic anthology is great and I would recommend purchasing both volumes (I don't think it's scanned anywhere :( ), the Beginning manga.... ehhh.... it isn't great. It's identical to the Beginning but more lacking and short. The oneshot is short and available online, no real reason not to read it! ^^ https://mangadex.org/title/859f6d51-5472-46e4-b555-8356b364878c/tiger-bunny-good-luck-and-bad-luck-alternate-like-the-strands-of-a-rope Sorry this was sort of long but I hope all of this helped you!
