Battle Angel Alita: Last Order Moves to Kodansha’s Evening

After a long spell of negotiations with both Shueisha and Kodansha, Battle Angel Alita author Yukito Kishiro has decided to take his Last Order series to Kodansha’s Evening magzine starting next year, confirming the move on his blog.  This follows Kishiro’s dispute with Shueisha regarding disagreements with a request involving unrelated dialogue revisions to the original Alita manga for a reprint while preparing the 100th installment of Last Order, news of which broke earlier this year and led to the first details of the negotiations.

What is not known is whether the new agreement will involve Kodansha publishing the collected Last Order manga volumes as well as the Evening serialization or if Shueisha will continue to be involved.
