The Shape of Happiness

Shiawase no Katachi is a recently rediscovered Metroid manga story featured in Famitsu magazine. The story features Samus Aran as she appears in the original Metroid, and possibly takes place after that game. Very little is currently known about the story, which was never released in English. Characters include an armadillo-like creature that seems to be an ally of Samus, a police officer and a green humanoid alien. The Metroid Database, a Metroid fansite with a history of translating Japanese Metroid manga, is currently in talks with the collector Bryce Corp to obtain images of his copy of the story in order to translate it.
