Bessatu Shonen Champion magazine has revealed it will begin publishing a new manga series based on Shotaro Ishinomori’s Robot Detective series from September 12th. What makes this more exciting is that it will be helmed by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimaguchi – the writer/artist duo also behind the popular ongoing Ultraman manga series.
The Robot Detective manga had been previously announced at the beginning of 2014, alongside this promotional video from Toei.
The original television series ran in 1973 for a total of 26 episodes and starred the sharply dressed titular Robot Detective “K”. We’ll bring you more news on the new manga adaptation as it comes!
The creators of the Ultraman manga turn their heads toward this Shotaro Ishinomori series!

This is gonna be interesting.
Nice! I always wanted to check out Robot Detective since his character inspire Q in SF3. I do hope that this gets a western release from Viz.
Which reminds me, Q for Street Fighter V please.

And yeah this looks quite good at the moment since it cool to see new stuff from some of the older franchises.
Ahhh the most amazing news we could get. Love it!
What's next? Goranger?(PleaseDoGorangerNextPleaseDoGorangerNextPleaseDoGorangerNext)
Jokes aside, these guys are pumping out re-imaginings and I love what they do.
Hope they do Goranger though in the future.
I am interested in their take of the team.
If they did Kikaider, I would absolutely lose it.
Q is getting a manga? That's so awesome!
Oh, it's not Q? Well, I guess it could be a'ight...
