Comprising four distinct side tales for Gunnm, also known as Battle Angel Alita, this one-shot delves into the universe through stories initially serialized in Ultra Jump between 1997 and 2006. These narratives, including 'Furusato,' 'Seiyakyoku,' and 'Sonic Finger,' were later featured in the Japanese Gunnm: Complete Edition. In 2018, the English audience was treated to all four stories in the Battle Angel Alita Deluxe Edition box set. Introducing new characters absent from the main manga, these side stories enrich the lore by shedding light on the Factory and motorball.
