Gundam Witch From Mercury Spin-off Manga Launched

Sunrise and Kadokawa have launched the new spin-off manga based on Gundam: The Witch From Mercury. The full title of the new manga is Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury - Frontiers in Glory Days, and it is immediately available in Japanese on Comic Walker. The companies had previously unveiled the spin-off manga in late December 2024 with the Japanese subtitle Seishun Frontier, which could be translated to "Adolescent Frontier." While today's release matched the promised Spring 2025 window, the Japanese chapter revealed Frontiers in Glory Days as the official English subtitle. This spin-off manga notably changes all the locations so that it takes place entirely on a near-future Earth. The Asticassia School of Technology is now located in the existing Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa. Suletta is alternatively depicted as coming from Alaska, even though she retains her Mercury surname. Her mother also instead goes on a business trip to South America to oversee the launch of an explorer spacecraft. The last page of the inaugural chapter teases the appearance of "Aerial," which shares the same name as the original title's flagship mech, XVX-016 Gundam Aerial. This teaser comes from a chat message sent by Suletta's elder sister in English to further reinforce the new setting of the Mercury family residing in Alaska. The first chapter of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury - Frontiers in Glory Days is readily available to read in Japanese on Comic Walker. The second chapter will appear on the same platform on June 27, 2025. The post Gundam Witch From Mercury Spin-off Manga Launched appeared first on Siliconera.
