Is there really an éX-Driver manga?[edit]

The article currently says that there's an éX-Driver manga by Kosuke Fujishima on which the anime is based upon. It would be very nice to have such a manga, but I can't find further information about any such publication. Neither articles about Fujishima's work seem to mention an éX-Driver manga nor are they available at online shops in Japan or anywhere else, as far as I can tell.

However, there is a Japanese publication about éX-Driver (ISBN: 4-04-425501-6) by Hiroshi Amon, which could be a single volume of a manga, but I can neither verify nor dismiss that this is the case. Furthermore, the Anime News Network entry (linked at the bottom of the article) lists an éX-Driver manga by Fujishima, published by Kodansha, without any further information (but this one can't be the one by Hiroshi Amon, can it?)

Does anyone know that there really is/is not a manga? Or someone knows what this single publication might be? It would be quite bad if our article here at Wikipedia talks about a manga series, says that the anime is based upon it, but there really is no such thing.

As I don't want to change the article without evidence supporting one or the other side, I hope anyone knows something about that.

Yes, of course, there is indeed an ex-Driver manga, authored by Kosuke Fujishima, which was adapted into an OVA series and subsequent movie. The Japanese wiki also states and clarifies this (in the very first sentence). Ganryuu (talk) 07:50, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Except there isn't and the JP version of this page does no such thing. It says the cartoonist Kosuke Fujishima was in charge of planning and character design for this series... NOT that he wrote a manga about it. This should be obvious both from the fact that that page has no manga listing whatsoever, that Kosuke Fujishima's works listing on his JP Wiki page does not include éX-Driver among his manga works, and that doing searches for "エクスドライバー日本の漫画" or "エクスドライバー漫画" turn up a whole lot of nothing.
