It’s no surprise that Gundam Thunderbolt has become a highly successful manga series in Japan, selling over one million copies as of Volume 4. The level of detail in the comic has truly shined courtesy of manga artist Yasuo Ohtagaki. It’s definitely something Gundam hasn’t seen before. Odd story aside, however… With that, Big Comic Superior, the magazine that is serializing the comic listed a preview in one of its issues that a “groundbreaking important announcement” is in store.

So, now with the speculation:

Back on September 8th, Sunrise registered the domain name “gundam-tb.net”. It’s not unusual for manga series to get their own website. The Astray series has its own portal, however this domain registration may just be a more centralized site for the ever-popular series (possibly fleshing out more on the series than the Comic Superior website, but seeing that Sunrise has now stepped in and locked its claws on it, I wouldn’t be surprised if we have a new series following on the tail of Iron-Blooded Orphans in the future.

Just some random Gundam lore to share.
