Charlie (Manga)

''This article is on the manga series titled "Charlie." The other series are Charlie Adventures and Charlie: Repose of the Soul.''

The Charlie manga was a manga adaptation of the events of Super Charlie 1 through 4. The manga was well received with Japanese audiences, though was never released outside of Japan. This was seen as a strange decision, as Charlie Adventures, covering the events of Super Charlie 5 through 7, was localized for several audiences worldwide. Despite fan demand for the release of the Charlie manga, there has been no response from Capcom, Shogakukan (publishers of the Japanese release), or Tokyo Pop, who published the English release of Charlie Adventures.

Despite no official English releases of the Charlie manga existing, many fan translations exist with varying levels of accuracy. Though the popularity of these fan translations are a near certain indication that the series would do incredibly well in the western market, Capcom has made no comment on whether or not the Charlie manga will be released outside of Japan. There have been rumors that VIZ Media is going to be publishing the Charlie manga at some point, but once again, no comments have been made on this speculation.
