bozou writes: Casshern Sins, the October 1 remake of Tatsunoko Production's classic Shinzo Ningen Casshan action anime series, is getting a manga adaptation. TAKEI Masaki (original character designer of Immoral Sisters, Dragon Knight: The Wheel of Time) will launch the manga version in the December issue of Jive's Monthly Comic Rush magazine. The manga was announced in the current Comic Rush issue on September 26, and the December issue will actually ship on October 25.

The creators of the original Linebarrels of Iron manga have taken the unusual step of adapting the first episode of the anime version back into manga. SHIMIZU Eiichi and SHIMOGUCHI Tomohiro have been serializing Linebarrels of Iron (Kurogane no Linebarrel), a story about a boy who pilots a 21-meter-tall robot for a secretive conglomerate, in Akita Shoten's Champion Red magazine since 2004. To commemorate the October 3 premiere of the anime adaptation, SHIMIZU Eiichi and SHIMOGUCHI Tomohiro created a oneshot of Linebarrels of Iron in Weekly Shonen Champion, a magazine that caters to a younger audience than Champion Red. The oneshot, which appears in this year's 44th issue of Shonen Champion on Thursday, recreates the entire first episode of the anime version.
