Which edition to buy
The original Battle Angel Alita has two current Kodansha print sequences: six paperbacks or five Deluxe hardcovers. Choose a sequence before comparing volume numbers; Paperback 6 is part of the main story, while the extra book in the Deluxe box is Holy Night and Other Stories. The box collects Deluxe 1–5 and that short-story collection. Last Order and Mars Chronicle are separate follow-up series, not alternate bindings of these books. Mars Chronicle also explores Alita’s childhood. A complete original-series set therefore does not collect the whole franchise. These listings do not establish a chapter-by-chapter switch between paperback and Deluxe editions, so a matching spine number is not a safe continuation point.
