Robot is a series of books containing the art of various Asian artists, created by Range Murata and published by Wanimagazine. [1] Volume 1 was released on October 21, 2004, and ten volumes have currently been released.
Digital Manga Publishing was originally responsible for the North American distribution, with the first volume being released August 6, 2005.
