Oh hey, look at that. One of the many titles that was killed off during Tokyopop's temporary demise is now making a come back. Digital Manga has decided to re-release the manga known as Erementar Gerad in digital form.

To those who are unfamiliar with the manga, Erementar Gerad is about the story of a young sky pirate known as Cou, who ends up getting involved with a mysterious girl known as Ren during one of his usual sky pirating raids. It turns out that Ren is a being known as an Edel Raid. Apparently, the Edel Raids have the power to transform into special weapons, whenever they make a pact with someone. From then on, Cou's life will never be the same, as he embarks on his new journey with Ren. 

Erementar Gerad was also adapted into an anime, which I would not recommend watching. Unless you don't mind sitting through a mediocre series (The characters were at least entertaining.). Based on the parts of the manga that I have read, the original seems to have more potential on where the story could go. 

You might want to give this manga a shot, if you are into the sky world setting and the concept of humanoid weapons.

It is unfortunate that we won't get an actual physical manga release, since I still prefer the old fashioned way of reading things. Hopefully, DMP will get the chance to complete the story, so that fans of the manga will get to finally own the whole series.
