The '''Galaxy Force''' [[manga]], written and drawn by [[Yoshihiro Iwamoto]], ran for nine issues from February 2005 to October 2005 in the pages of ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]''. The first six issues of the manga were collected in a graphic novel along with a whimsical "Mission 0" which acted as a "making of" extra.

However, by the time Iwamoto received news that the manga was going to end from the editorial staff, much of the pre-publishing work for the first volume was already done, thus leaving out the last three chapters,<ref>[http://werou.com/nicky/log200509.html Blog entry of September 7, 2005 from Iwamoto's blog ''Ganken'']</ref> before ''Comic Bom Bom'''s cancellation in July of 2007.<ref>[http://werou.com/nicky/log200707.html ''Ganken'' blog entry of July 17, 2007 checking from Yahoo!Japan News]</ref> In short, the ''Galaxy Force'' manga was never completed and the last three chapters were never collected, making them somewhat rare amongst Japanese collectors and even ''rarer'' amongst Western ones.

==Notes==

*The "Mission #" headers before each chapter title were absent from the original ''Comic Bom Bom'' printings and retroactively added to the graphic novel collection.  With issues 7-9 not being collected, they do not get "Mission #" headers.
