In honor of the 55th anniversary of the first release of the "Jungle Emperor" manga, I've decided to make this page. Below are listed all releases of the original "Jungle Emperor" manga (comic books) that I know of, with links to pages where you can order them (most of them are not in english, sorry). Unfortunately, the english release of the manga still hasn't been done yet.

 

 Original japanese "Jungle Emperor" manga

The original "Jungle Emperor" manga books can be ordered online from Japan in two editions: 1999 paperback reissue (in 2 volumes) and the 1977 reissue in 3 volumes made by Kodansha, although the "Jungle Emperor" manga has been re-issued in Japan in several other editions since the 1950s.

NOTE: The below ordering links are from Amazon.com Japan, and therefore the website is almost completely in japanese. However, there is a section in english that can help you with the online purchasing process, and you can visit it here.
 

French "Le Roi Léo" manga

The french version of the "Jungle Emperor" manga books has been published in France by Glénat in 1996 and 1997. Below ordering links are from Amazon.com France (in french only). The books seem to be out of stock at the moment.
 

German "Kimba, der weisse Löwe" manga

The german version of the "Jungle Emperor" manga books has been published in Germany by Carlsen Comics in 2001. You can order them only from Amazon.com Germany (in german only).
 

Italian "Kimba il leone bianco" manga

The italian version of the "Jungle Emperor" manga books has been first published in Italy by ComicArt in 1986 and later in 1998. Since there doesn't seem to be any other way to (possibly) get the manga, the only way is to visit their website (in italian only) using the below link and/or writing them to infoatcomicartclubdotit.
In the meantime, a new italian release of the "Jungle Emperor" manga has been published in Italy by Hazard Edizioni from January to March 2005. The books can be ordered online on their website, but it appears to be for the italian citizens only (for now).
 

"Jungle Emperor" ("森林大帝") manga from Taiwan

In Taiwan "Jungle Emperor" manga has been published two times - in June 1994 and in June 2003. These books are printed in chinese. The below ordering links are from books.com.tw (entirely in chinese), and the books are available but it appears to be some sort of a time-limited offer.
