Keep in mind that this series will most likely have very little to do with the existing canon. It will be like an extreme version of the Ultimate universe. Which personally might be a little refreshing.

The manga is probably looking for an audience who loves anime and is vaguely familiar with the comic books. Either way it's worth a look.

:xmen:

It looks like volume one is coming out in March.

Wolverine: Prodigal Son by Antony Johnston & Wilson Tortosa

The gripping, all-new adventure of the x-men's greatest icon, comletely reimagined in the Manga style

This is not the Wolverine you know.

Logan is a teenage rebel with a real good reason for having a real bad attitude. Ever since being left in a nearby forest–with no memory of who he was or how he got there–Logan (or Wolverine, as his classmates sometimes call him) has been stuck in a martial arts school in the icy wilds of Canada. No wonder he’s bored, restless, yearning. There’s a whole world out there, and Logan can almost taste it. But he’s chained to a past he can’t remember and can’t escape. Now it just may destroy his future.

That's ridiculous, and I love it. I'll keep my eye on this one.

There's also one coming which will be skewed more to the young female reading audience...

I actually liked this Logan on the cover, after saying for years that manga-style art somehow turns me off. A teen-aged Logan with his bone claws might be fun.

It could not be any worse than that manga series, X-Men: Phoenix: Legacy of Fire.
