Manga Mavericks Books Debuts Sci-Fi Manga One-Shot ‘Great Metal God’
by Brendan M. Allen
Manga Mavericks LLC has announced the digital debut of the sci-fi fairy tale one-shot Great Metal God. The new manga about a marauding giant robot by creator Iwakuni Koyogo debuts digitally in November with a print release set for release in December. The title is described as a ‘riveting ode to giant robot sci-fi’ and a must-read for fans of sci-fi and classic Japanese mecha manga and anime.
An unknown steel visitor descends from the heavens, leaving destruction in its wake. Mankind’s struggles are in vain before the metal marauder, however, salvation comes from an unlikely source – an ancient ritual and a young girl’s resolve. Told almost completely without text, instead utilizing page after page of incredible artwork, readers will fall to their knees before the Great Metal God’s advent.
“I don’t think I can express how happy it makes me to have Great Metal God make its English debut,” said Kogyo of the release. “The theme of this work was born from the giant robots on TV and in manga that I grew up with as a child. I hope readers in North America enjoy it.”
Digital editions of Great Metal God will be available November 19, 2025 for $4.99. Digital pre-orders are currently open at this link. Print editions follow on December 16, 2025 for $8.99. Physical copy pre-orders are available at this link.
