On another subject, I saw earlier that the Monthly Hero's site has an English version. Here's a link to that:

Not only do they let you view the 'latest episode" of each series in Monthly Hero's, but they also let you view the entirety of the first volume of each series in their magazine. That's very generous of them.
Now, some of the series have English translations of their first volume, but some don't. Plus, each of the "latest episodes" are only in Japanese and they're only available until the next episode comes out. I'm not sure if the "latest episodes" are the entirety of those new episodes, or just a preview of those episodes.
Atom the Beginning is not on the English site right now, but I'm 99% certain that they'll put the series on there eventually. That means that, if Atom The Beginning gets put on the English site, we'll be able to see the first volume of it indefinitely, but after that first volume, we'll only be able to see the "latest episode". Still, that means we'll be able to get to read at least a good portion of the series online legally for free! Plus, there's a chance they'll put the first volume on there in English!
Definitely good news. It looks like we may be able to keep reading this series beyond the preview we got today!

I doubt we could ship it outside of Japan, but you can apparently only buy them from the Seven-Elevens in Japan. They cost only 200 yen, which is ~1.68 in American dollars and ~1.93 in Canadian dollars.
