Review of 'Battle angel Alita' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Easily my favorite manga, this series - though I'm reading a translation from a few years back that I think may be a different edition. Much of what made the series for me was the quirks of translation - really excellent uses of modern (at the time) cyberpunk references, etc.

One day I'll have to find out if that was the official version.
