| Brazilian publisher JBC is releasing the manga in a 6-volume version and I was trying to understand how would that fit in the 16-volume version so I could properly check what I’ve read here on MAL. After several hours of research I got from Tezuka Productions’ page a japanese ebook seller with the 16-volume version and after the lame automatic translation from my browser I crossed data with the TezukaInEnglish’s page and I think I could properly break down the puzzle. I also got the disjointing for VIZ Media edition (11-volumes) so maybe I can help other people. From Wikipedia and TezukaInEnglish.com we have 12 arcs from this manga, being them: Dawn, Future, Yamato, Space (aka Universe), Karma (aka Hō-ō which means Firebird), Resurrection, Robe of Feathers, Nostalgia, Civil War (aka Turbulent Times), Life, Strange Beings and Sun. They got split in 16 volumes originally: From the “original” 16-volumes version I got this:
Completing the 19 chapters from the 16 volumes version. VIZ Media printed the manga in a 11-volumes version plus an extra:
Idk how they split the 3 parts from Sun but they are probably there, they also released a 12th volume named Early Works with 6 episodes from Egypt, 8 from Greece and 4 from Rome that were released in Shojo Club between May-56 and December-57 not accounted for this 1967 version). And now from Editora JBC in brazilian portuguese 6-volumes version: We only have 1 volume released by today (Jan 14th, 2023), so I will speculate the other 5 now and will come here after every new release to adjust, if necessary, so the data will be correct. (red italic will be used to represent the speculation)
Table for an easier comparison:
Hope this can help people with the same doubt as I had.

| You may wish to know that the English edition swaps the order of Life and Strange Beings for whatever reason. Has Phoenix previously been released in Portuguese? |

Oh thanks for the information, I will exchange that. I remember seeing it while researching but probably forgot while writing the text lol. Afaik this is the first portuguese release from Phoenix, at least in Brazil, but I think Portugal didn’t get an edition either. |
