Gekiman! by Go Nagai (2010-2018, Nihon Bungeisha)
Four-part series of fictionalized autobios covering the creation of Devilman, Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, & Cutie Honey.
It's also 15 volumes long, in total, so it's not likely to ever get licensed.
Admiring Tomorrow's Joe by Sanbanchi Kawa (2013, Kodansha)
3-volume autobio about being an assistant to Tetsuya Chiba during the serialization of the legendary manga Ashita no Joe. I mean, come on, just the concept alone sounds like an awesome read.
I Become a Gedoh-Man by Shinji Hiramatsu (2016, Shueisha)
Hiramatsu's autobio about his time as artist for Doberman Cop during the 70s, which he co-created with writer Buronson (prior to Fist of the North Star).
This isn't a "Well, maybe the mangaka isn't big on digital" situation either, as both parts of Kinnikuman II-Sei are available digitally over in Japan.
In fact, they're even now part of the Jump Comics line over there, despite running in Weekly Playboy, just like what Viz did!
Also, Yudetamago have gone back & redrawn the old covers for the first 36 volumes, and most amusing is the original final volume, in which Suguru Kinniku's actual face was partially shown off.
Now, though, his face is blocked by a ridiculous white light. It's hilarious.
New Review: Ragnarök: Into the Abyss
Ragnarök Online wound up becoming one of the biggest MMOs during the 00s, but what about the original manhwa that it took its world from? It was once a notable hit, even if unfinished, so is there anything to it today?

You know who I want back for Street Fighter 6? Eagle
Bring back muscular Freddie Mercury who will kick ass with eskrima sticks (or stun batons, as his Street Fighter V-era redesign indicated), because "there's no time no for losers". "The show must go on".
@brainchild129 @gonzodotmoe Also, it was done in a very faux-letterbox style, and a weird visual gaffe in Episode 4 shows that it may have actually been animated in 4:3 first. Would love to see if that was the case.
Happy 40th Anniversary to Masami Kurumada's Fuma no Kojirou, which debuted back in 1982
Kurumada stated "You still don't know what a real Kurumada manga is!", and I'd argue that was true. FnK is an understated transition from sports-focused stories to "traditional" shonen action
