Original manga soon to be available in English!

Just wanted to drop by with a "heads up!" for anyone (like myself) who enjoyed this movie: an english edition of the original Tezuka Osamu manga series on which the film is based will be published later this year by Vertical. The first volume will be released at the end of April, with the other three following soon after. Here's a link to the first volume at Amazon.com:

I'm certainly excited! I've been a fan of the Dororo story since encountering it in the video game adaptation Blood Will Tell, which, although not a work of genius game design by any means, impressed me greatly with its unique, surprisingly human, and even charming story. I'm very eager to see what the original version is like.
