Overview[]
Released in 1999 by Shogakukan, the (機獣新世紀ZOIDS : Machine Beasts New Century Zoids) manga followed the adventures of Van Flyheight and the mysterious girl Fiona. Although it is almost identical to the Chaotic Century anime to begin with, it quickly goes in a very different direction. Major differences include the appearance of huge, immobile Zoids (such as Wendine and Oruga) used as power sources and protectors of entire towns, the introduction of characters from the Battle Story such as Tommy Paris, and the Zoids used by the main characters. The events of Guardian Force are not based on the manga, and as such those characters do not appear in the manga.
The manga was translated into English and released by Viz as Zoids: Chaotic Century, divided into 14 volumes rather than the original 5. In both languages, the story is cut short. Since the Japanese read right-to-left, the English release was mirrored by Viz Media to read left-to-right. This has no impact on the story, however it means some features (notably facial markings) appear on the wrong side when compared to the Japanese version.
In 2019 reprints of the manga were issued Japan to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the story. This version was divided into 3 volumes, rather than the original 5, and could be bought in physical or electronic form.
