GUNNM Gaiden

This collection includes four standalone short stories related to the Battle Angel Alita series, originally released in 1997 and 2006 in Ultra Jump magazine. Three of these stories were later added to the Japanese Gunnm: Complete Edition, and all four were published together in English in 2018 as part of the Battle Angel Alita Deluxe Edition box set. The stories were compiled into a single volume in Japan in 2007. Some characters featured in these side stories do not appear in the main series, and the stories offer additional context about the Factory and the sport of motorball.
