VIZ Media shared the English version of the Rooster Fighter manga on Monday. "Keiji is more than just an ordinary rooster—he's humanity's greatest defender! His opponents may be ten stories tall, but nothing is bigger than his stout heart and his fearsome battle cry—Kokekokko!," read the description.
