What a tease with the Shimamoto opener, Jason... You're an evil, evil man. But you certainly save it with this short-but-sweet title. This sounds absolutely awesome!

Since it's unlikely that anyone will track down all 8 issues of this ancient manga


Are you kidding? I'm buying this manga already! Someone on eBay was selling all but issue 4 for $1.10 each, all Near Mint and a flat shipping charge of $3.25... And I had to pay a little more for issue 4 from Amazon, but for a title that sounds this awesome I say that it's worth it.

This looks really cool. Count me in for getting this as well. Thankfully the issues are still readily available and inexpensive!

So,this guy got some of his ideas from American comics. Well,for months,"Power Rangers Samurai" have been on the air. And as we all know,the "Power Rangers" are the Americanized version of a Japanese sentai show. I'd love to see a manga and/or anime poke fun at the American version of the sentai show. What do you guys think about that?

I've never seen any manga artists talk about Power Rangers... but somebody *must* have done it, at least in a dojinshi!

This parody of the mecha genre sounds interesting: funny yet respectful. I'll check it out, thanks!
