Background

Kidou Senshi Gundam: The Origin won the 43rd Seiun Award in the Best Comic category in 2012. The series was partially published in English as Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by VIZ Media in 12 volumes from March 6, 2002, to August 17, 2004, before it was canceled. VIZ Media's version does not correspond to the Japanese volumes, and approximately only the first six volumes were translated. Vertical Inc. published the full series based on the 12-volume aizouban reprint from March 26, 2013, to December 15, 2015. It was also published in Spanish by Norma Editorial from November 2005 to July 24, 2015; and in Italian by Edizioni Star Comics from October 1, 2004, to May 24, 2012.
