I found on the web that there are some differences in the storyline of the
manga and the anime (English) of [Beyblade (original
series)](http://beyblade.wikia.com/wiki/Beyblade_%28original_series%29). In my
quest to know the differences I tried to find the manga online (legal), but
I've yet to know for certain how many volumes/chapters (of the manga) are
available for the original Beyblade series. Wikipedia
[shows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade) that there are 14 issues
available. But the description about Vol. 14
[here](http://www.comicvine.com/beyblade-14-vol-14/4000-261215/) is the source
of confusion for me. It says:

> It's down to the final battle in the G.B.C.--the ultimate test to see which
> team will earn the title of Beyblade world champions! Tyson's grandfather
> and friends start celebrating victory before the final battle even takes
> place--but will the BBA Revolution actually win?

* * *

> I just completed the series and the aforesaid description fits into [Episode
> 30](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade_%28season_3%29) of the [Season 3
> G-Revolution](http://beyblade.wikia.com/wiki/Beyblade:_G-Revolution) where
> BBA team stands victorious in final round of Beyblade World Championship.
> Also, Season 3 ran for 52 episodes and the episodes after Episode 30 dealt
> with a challenge named BEGA.

This is exactly my confusion. If I consider the description then it means
almost 40 p.c. of anime aren't present in the last issue, Vol. 14 of manga
series, and this seems to be a major difference.

Now, it all comes down to the following points:

  * Am I missing something about manga of the said series?
  * Could it be that the said description is incomplete or wrong?
  * Where does the final issue of manga end?
  * Would manga be enough to reflect the complete storyline of anime? Meaning, does there exist mini-series too?
  * Optional: where can I buy/get the complete manga for the said series?

question
beyblade
Where does the manga for Beyblade original series end in comparision to the anime?


The _Bakuden Shoot Beyblade_ [manga by Aoki
Takao](http://beyblade.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Bakuten_Shoot_Beyblade_chapters)
is the basis for [seasons 1 to
3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_original_Beyblade_episodes) of the
original anime series. Episode 51 of season 3, [_G-
Revolution_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade_\(season_3\)), correlates
to chapter 3 (the final chapter) of volume 14 of the manga. Chapter 3 of manga
volume 14 does not correspond to _G-Revolution_ episode 30.

Spoiler for final pages of manga chapter 3 and episode 51:

> Taichi and Kai stand poised to battle one more time, but the battle itself
> and its results are not shown. ![enter image description
> here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/jVaFP.png)

_G-Revolution_ [episode
52](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade_\(season_3\)) features

> a giant vortex crisis and then wraps up with showing images of every team
> and major character that appeared in the entire 3 seasons.

The contents of that episode are not covered in the manga.

Manga volume 14 includes a manga version of the _Bakuten Shoot Beyblade The
Movie: Gekitou!! Takao vs. Daichi_ direct-to-DVD anime film.

Volume 14 also features an epilogue one-shot manga about the children of the
main characters (who are now grown up). This epilogue was not animated.

Finally, Aoki Takao commissioned novelist Tachimori Megumi to write a Bayblade
_gaiden_ (side story) short novel titled _Bakuden Shoot Beyblade Gaiden -Yuriy
Ivanov-_ for which he provided the illustration, which is [free to read on his
official website](http://sakura2factory.web.fc2.com/novel.html). Fans have
made an English translation of it
[here](http://z4.invisionfree.com/BeyUKforum/ar/t505.htm). This novel was not
animated.

There was also a spin-off manga from the original series titled [_Seidoushi
BLADERS -Beyblade Battle
Story-_](http://beyblade.wikia.com/wiki/Saint_Warrior_BLADERS) written by
Miyazaki Masaru and illustrated by 印照 (whose _romaji_ name I can't find
anwhere. It might be pronounced "Shirushi Shou" or "Shirushi Teru"), collected
into 3 volumes. Its content is not depicted in the anime at all.

Fans have discussed some differences between the manga and the anime in [this
forum](http://z10.invisionfree.com/Beyblade_Blitzkreig/index.php?showtopic=16).

You also mentioned the English-language version of the anime. Since the
English dub contains a large amount of edits from the original anime, the dub
version does not match the original manga closely. You can see the dub changes
from the original anime listed
