Well, that's true, but...

Spoiler for Nightmare of Nunnally ch. 1:

...the little Geass puppet was calling her, so that probably helped her directional sense. No doubt the mechanics of the trip would have posed a considerable challenge, but somehow I don't think the readers would thank the manga-ka for turning the first chapter into "The Adventures of Nunnally Crossing The Street."

Incidentally,

Spoiler for Nightmare of Nunnally ch. 5:

...is it just me, or is the JLF leader even dumber in the Nunnally manga than the anime? He goes all out by threatening Alice to get Nunnally to cooperate - then gets offended when she finally breaks down and agrees, and orders his subordinate to shoot Alice anyway?

So, NoN is an official CG work right? Sorry if thats a dumb question, I just finished CG yesterday and hadnt looked into any manga on it and NoN just sounded extremely different compared to what LotR (lawl its initials are just like Lord of the Rings) was like. I guess that since its in this thread, it has to be an official work, but man did that just seem strange for them to do. Aw well, never hurts to check all of them out, tho Suzaku of the Counterattack does seem kind of redundant. It probably will give maybe abit more insight into his character, as well as those of Cecile, Lloyd, and the Britannians. The downside is, we get CG from a more Gundam Seed-styled perspective.

Knightmare of Nunnally hasnt stopped releasing though no one is scanlating it =3
but with the license of the Geass series now, is there any news on the 3 manga series being released in the USA as well?

[NewYinzer]

I think they are planning to release the manga in the United States as part of the Code Geass promotion they've got going on. Supposedly they're going to have merchandise, DVD's, manga, apparel, and possibly video games. This is just my opinion, but I think that Bandai is counting on the fact that Code Geass will do well in the USA to help falling sales of anime and model kits, hence the airing on Adult Swim and all the other promotions.

Hey guys, about this manga scene that was uploaded in the image thread a while ago, in which Lelouch is in his bed waking up in the morning and all but groping C.C's breast while thinking he was reaching for his ringing alarm clock. She goes "good morning Lelouch" in a bored tone while he freaks. But that's all we see of it. Was that part of the original manga?

Spoiler for I'd love to wake up to this scene!:

No, it's part of the Queen anthology (I think in #1, but I'll have to check).

No, but you can order through Amazon.co.jp.

Since someone asked...

1. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, by Majiko.
This one tries the hardest to stick to the anime. The backbone is that of the anime, but all the mechs and most of the grown-ups were taken away. The whole world is ruled by teenagers who run around trigger-happy with little pistols and dream of taking over the world with only pistols & pathetic speeches. Focused on lovey-dovey in campus.
Its artwork is okay when you look one pic at a time: everyone is round face cutesy-lovely. But the whole thing is horrible: movement is stiff, and storytelling is at doujinshi level. Simply put, this is Code Geass: gradeschool school play version. But since it's on Asuka, a manga magazine for lil girls under 15, so I guess we can't expect too much.

2. Code Geass: Suzaku of the Counterattack, by Atsuro Yomino.
Tried to stick to the anime but gave up in early stage. The big picture is still there, though. No mechs either. "Lancelot" is a power-up superman suit that Suzaku puts on to fight crime. (You can see this suit in anime Ep21.) Only a few anime characters were kept. Cecil & Euphie are taken away and replaced by an original character called Mariel.
Overall story is okay. But the artist sometimes goes bonkers. For example, Lancelot picks up a pebble, throws it at Zero, hits him on the head, and Zero falls off. Ha ha. Very funny. This kind of stupidity should only appear in fanart or 4-coma. I can't believe a professional artist is moronic enough to put it in a supposed-to-be-serious official manga.
This is on BeansA, a manga magazine for girls. The art style is nice, but often criticized because of the yaoi aura all over it. By the way, this is the version that

Spoiler for ending of season 1 in this version:

Schnizel killed the emperor. Suzaku assumed Lelouch is the one who did it, and decided to get rid of Lelouch to make a better world for Lelouch and Nunnally. (Yes. You read me right. That's how retarded he is.)

3. Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally. By Tomomasa Takuma.
Unlike the previous two, this one didn't try to cling to the anime and end up with mud all over his face.
Lelouch is "killed" in first episode. In this grief, Nunnally bond a contract with "Nemo" and got her geass power and her own KMF. Later on, Zero (C.C./Lelouch) also show up as the plot unwinds. This is the version with Nunnally and Batman Zero whipping Britannian KMFs. It's actually my favorite. Lots of dynamic Knightmare action (and very nicely drawn too), unexpected yet acceptable plot twists, and many interesting new characters. This version also brings up the largest amount of mysteries: the "cult" about geass, C.C.'s past, Marianne's last words, and Lelouch's siblings.
This is on CompAce, a male-oriented magazine for mangas based on video games or anime.

4. Official Anthology: Knight/Queen.
A collection of short comedy fan mangas that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual Code Geass story. Knight is focused on boys. Queen is focused on girls. Although the coverarts look erotic/yaoi/yuri, inside it's perfectly safe for all ages.

5. Bakumatsu Ibunroku Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion. Totally unrelated AU story which takes place in Bakumatsu period. Starting next month on Kerokero Ace, a manga magazine for boys under 15.

NoN is cool, especially

Spoiler for NoN stuff:

When Zero, who turns to be C.C., takes a trashing against the Sutherlands by having god-like powers (I see the DOM Hostia thing) disable Guilford and Darlton's Gloucesters and wounds Cornelia. Strangely, there were KMFs and two girls who are seemingly on the side of the Britannian armed forces. There's seemingly a bald guy (Not Bartley), who happens to be their handler.

And yeah, Lelouch is alive. But you won't believe who he's with.

Spoiler for In Non, Lelouch was with:

Schneizel.

All you said are old news from months ago. That's not Lelouch. And Zero isn't C.C. either.
If you're so eager to show off, why don't you post the whole thing instead of ripping off tidbits of information from other people's posts?

[Yu Ominae]

He wasn't? Must've been mixed up...

You mean me ripping off my own information or others? Whatever it was, I got into NoN late since I was busy with university. Didn't have time to read it...
