About the series
In the late 1990s, Masami Kurumada (of Saint Seiya fame) created B't X, a sci-fi action series for Kadokawa that ran for 16 issues. It follows a young protagonist who bonds with a powerful, sentient mechanical being known as a B't, fighting against a sinister organization in a world of advanced technology and mystical energy. The series is a classic example of Kurumada's signature style—intense battles, dramatic transformations, and deep bonds between heroes and their allies. B't X remains a beloved cult favorite for fans of 1990s manga who appreciate its blend of mecha design and shonen storytelling.
