Back
In a land of swords and magic, there was a creature—an evil god—with extraordinary power. People feared its existence, but at the same time were captivated by its power. They wanted that power. Their dangerous wish would eventually lead them to break the evil god’s horn and create “Shin Kaku Gi Kou,” huge magical weapons infused with the horn. One of these weapons alone has enough strength to overpower an entire country and its army, and there are 10 of these across the vast continent. However, one day a severely injured Moebius, the strongest Shin Kaku Gi Kou user, entrusted his “power” to a young boy named Miyabi who happened to be present. There is an 11th user out there that no one knows about. You must protect everyone before the out-of-control monster destroys the entire continent, he was told.
A completely original manga project spun-off from Shin Kamen Rider directed by Anno Hideaki! A dark hero rising story by a superb production team depicting the biggest enemy in Shin Kamen Rider and SHOCKER!
(Kamen Rider, the righteous warrior who shouts out \"Henshin!\" and continues to fight evil. The heroes created by the genius Shotaro Ishinomori are brought back to life by the hard-working Muraeda Kenichi! In this epic hero battle story, the 10th rider \"ZX\" fights alongside the previous riders against the mysterious organization \"BADAN\" that is invading the world!) “Kamen Rider SPIRITS” is a manga series adapted from the famous Kamen Rider series with content focusing on the first 10 Kamen Riders in Japan\'s Showa period (Showa) and their battle with the Badan Empire under with the help of a multi-governmental task force called “SPIRITS”. The manga\'s setting takes place immediately after the Kamen Rider Super-1 series, and is different from the TV Special \"Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!!\" in 1984. In particular, this manga also contributes to supplementing and correcting missing details in the original series such as why Riderman is still alive after the Pluton warhead explosion in the series \"Kamen Rider V3\", or why Electronic Wave Humanoid Tackle was never recognized as a Kamen Rider. Initially, the series was published in the manga magazine \"Magazine Z\" and had to stop for a while because \"Magazine Z\" decided to cancel publication. Later, the manga was revived by \"Monthly Shounen Magazine\" under the name \"Shin Kamen Rider SPIRITS\" and continues to be published to this day. Since volume 3, Shin Kamen Rider Spirits has been published with a special edition, comes with a rare cover, and a separate volume of colorized version for a specific arc in the manga. The first arc which was fully colored was chapter 1 from the original run (\"Skyscraper\'s Gale\"). (P/S: Although there are differences in the presence or absence of the booklet and the cover design between the regular and special editions, the main contents of the manga themselves are the same.)

From Tokyopop: After a generation of warfare, the Gundam boys finally secured a peace between Earth and the colonies by helping to defeat the Oz and White Fang armies. Now, out of the rubble, the surviving soldiers are re-emerging and clustering together into new factions. Hero Yuy has become a vigilante pacifist, tracking down weapons stashes and destroying them, while Relena, former Queen of the Earth Sphere, tries to maintain the peace politically. But an unmanned weapons factory has been discovered somewhere near Mars, and now the boys are going to have to dust off their mechs for one more battle to save the tenuous peace.
After the war that took place in A.C. 195, each of the protagonists have gone on with their lives, and the gundams put into retirement. As the peace alliance with the colonies push through, a new menace threatens to shatter the peace, and the five gundam pilots are forced into action once again. Blind Target is originally a radio drama that got translated into manga. It is one of the possible events that took place between the series itself and the OVA, Endless Waltz. Other manga titles that also delve into the possible events between the series and the OVA are Battlefield of Pacifists and Ground Zero. All three remain unrelated to one another.
Centuries in the future, in the year After Colony 195, Earth is surrounded by orbiting space colonies. The colonists are cruelly oppressed by the Earth Alliance, which uses huge humanoid fighting machines called "mobile suits" to control the populace. Behind this tyranny is the secret society called "Oz," which has infiltrated the Alliance military and steered it towards its repressive course. Now, the space colonies are ready to strike back. Five young pilots, equipped with advanced mobile suits called "Gundams," are sent to Earth to wage guerilla war against Oz and its Alliance puppets. The war to decide humanity's destiny begins...
Before the outbreak of the colony war, forces were at work shaping the future and preparing its players for the final game. As children, Heero, Relena, Duo, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei have endured more pain and difficulties than most people experience in a lifetime and would have broken the will of any normal person. Learn their stories and motivations for becoming prominent characters in shaping the future of the world. Each chapter is named after a character and features that character's past/origins. According to Sumisawa (author), the events of Episode Zero were supposed to appear in the TV series, just after episode 27. But due to complications in the production schedule, things didn't go as planned and it was eventually omitted. Episode Zero was created per Ikeda Masashi's (director) request. Reading direction: Right to left
Heero attempts to live a normal life after the war. But his "peaceful" life is disturbed when someone manages to steal Wing ZERO. He rushes to search for it, and is then faced with an unlikely foe. On all accounts, Ground Zero can be considered a doujinshi due to its lack of consistency and subjected humor. However, it tackles deeply into the characters' morale and philosophies regarding war, peace, and of course, the gundams. Like Battlefield of Pacifists and Blind Target, Ground Zero are *possible* events that take place in between the TV series and the OVA, Endless Waltz.
The original Kotaro Makaritoru contained 7 Major Archs and 1 side series. Initially the comic was filled with slapstick comedy and small sexual humor, but as the story progressed, the comic became more mature and serious. However, some of the classic humor remained. Koutarou Shindou - A high school aged karate expert who is descended from a long line of ninja. While he may be a fighting genius, he lacks common sense and any inhibitions whatsoever. He spends most of his time getting into trouble with school officials, and trying to steal girls' panties; especially Mayumi's. He is very protective of three things: his long hair, his panty collection, and Mayumi.
