This is a list of chapters of the manga adaptation of Sunrise 's The Big O (THE ビッグオー , Za Biggu Ō ) anime television series. The chapters are written and drawn by Hitoshi Ariga and published by Kodansha in Magazine Z .[ 1]
The Big O was conceived as a media franchise .[ 2] To this effect, Sunrise requested a manga be produced along with the animated series. The Big O manga started serialization in Kodansha 's Magazine Z in July 1999, three months before the anime premiere.[ 1] Authored by Hitoshi Ariga, the manga uses Keiichi Sato's concept designs in an all-new story. The series ended in October 2001. The issues were later collected in six volumes . The English version of the manga is published by VIZ Media .
In anticipation to the broadcast of the second season, a new manga series was published.[ 1] Lost Memory (ロストメモリー , Rosuto Memorī ) , authored by Hitoshi Ariga, takes place between volumes five and six of the original manga. The issues, serialized in Magazine Z from November 2002 to September 2003, were collected in two volumes. No English official translation is available.
