Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS);faqs.372 Ariel (v8, Takezaki contributed to vol.2, based on novel+anime) AD Police 25:00 (v1F, Y880, in English/Japanese, based on OAV) Various stories inspired by the AD Police anime; there's some serious stories, and some extremely flippant ones. Unravelling brains, hentai boomers, it's all there. It reads left to right, and the wild translation is a laugh. There's also a "comic" which takes the piss out of Bubblegum Crisis and other anime. AD Police Ultimate City AD Police Shuen Toshi ^[$@#A#D!&#P#O#L#I#C#E=*_aET;T^[(B (1990, v1F, Y880) Dr. Kishiwada's Scientific Affection Kishiwada-hakase no Kagakuteki Aijou ^[$@4_OBEDGn;N$N2J3XE*^[(J^[$@0&>p^[(J (1992, v1 wide/Y560, Afternoon) The title is a pun on the Japanese title of the "Dr. Strangelove" movie. The hero is Dr. Kishiwada, a brilliant but demented scientist, who who creates bizarre mechs, battles the forces of evil, or just stuffs around. There are dozens of parodies of B-grade SF movies, shlocky TV and crappy movies, but essentially it's quite original. Crazy, slick and very funny. ---- Tanaka Masasi ^[$@EDCf@/;V^[(J^[$@^[(J ---- Things present in most manga (eg. dialogue, screen tone) are usually absent in Tanaka Masashi's manga. Instead, the emphasis is on extremely detailed, atmospheric art. There's always lots of action and dark humor. [IS] Flash ^[$@%U%i%C%7^[(B (1986-1990, v1/Y700, v2-3F/Y750, Morning) Flash is a bandit from the wild west, seemingly impervious to harm. In the last two volumes, the art is particularly good, and there's almost no dialogue. Adventure [something]!! (v1F) Unidentified Prince Object U.P.O ^[$@L$3NG'%W%j%s%9J*BN^[(B (1990, v1F, Morning) A prince singlemindedly pursues his princess, ploughing through Nazis, demons and medieval battlefields in the process. Samurai's Great Adventure Samurai Daiboken ^[$B;xBgKA81^[(B (1991, v1F, Afternoon) Cool story. Sex, blood, and procreation. [DM] Gon ^[$@%4%s^[(B (1992, v1 wide/Y530, Morning) A baby dinosaur causes havoc throughout the animal kingdom. (This is a spinoff from Flash, with no dialogue). ---- Terasawa Buichi ---- Black Knight Cobra (v10, Y600, SJ, anime+English) Gokuu Midnight Eye (anime+English) The two OAV's I've seen are pretty good, but the manga translations from VIZ are rather dull. Gokuu is based on the monkey king stories. He's a private detective, with a cyborg eye tied into the world's computer networks, and an expanding explosive staff. [CH] ---- Tezuka Osamu ^[$@<jDM<#Cn^[(J ---- (?-1990) ---- Regarded as "the father of manga", having developed many of the styles and formats that characterise manga today. It's difficult to list even the significant Tezuka works here, which were often released by different publishers. [YK] Most editions of Tezuka's manga contain a substantial English synopsis. Dororo ^[$B$I$m$m^[(B (v2F) A child is bequeathed to demons.. in 48 parts.

Black Jack ^[$B%V%i%C%/!&%8%!%C%/^[(B (v12?F, Y1000, Shounen Champion) Medical Manga. Black Jack is an illegal but talented surgeon. He is in conflict with the conservative medical establishment, for using radical and supernatural techniques to combat rare afflictions. BTW, Tezuka Osamu is a qualified doctor.

His office has five people, including a former police detective in his 50s; Miwa (airheaded but strong); and another very rich woman, who loves Andou (like Miwa). Mostly, they are short stories, with the only continuity being the women fighting over Andou.

Ookami Nante Kowakunai!! (Short story collection, Shuueisha) Report of Playful Ghost Yuu-Yuu Hakusho ^[$@M)!yM7!yGr=q^[(B (v8, SJ) Occult action comedy. The Worst Kind of bad boy, Urameshi Yuusuke, died when he accidentally saved a child. But his death was so unpredictable that even the Judge of the Deads can't decide whether he must go heaven or hell. He had to carry out a quest to decide his destiny. Or to return to life again. ---- Toriyama Akira ^[$@D;;3^[(J ^[$@L@^[(B ---- His manga, aimed at children, are extremely popular. He did graphic design work for the Dragon Quest video game, which was later animated. A Dragon Quest manga based on the game appeared, with art by Inada Kouji and story by Sanjou Riku; this was also made into an anime. Toriyama has nothing to do with the DragonQuest manga. He also worked on two anime in 1990 (incl. Pink). Dr. Slump ^[$@%I%/%?!<%9%i%s%W^[(J ^[$@%"%i%l$A$c$s^[(B (1980, v18, SJ, TV series) A series of strange stories (sometimes building on each other) about a silly mad inventor, and his young-girl robot, Arare. Lots of puns, toilet humor, and sex jokes. [CH] It was fairly popular in Japan, and brought him into prominence. The decision to animate Dr. Slump was taken 5 weeks after the manga started, setting a new record. Sakugeki Jou (1983, v2, Y370) A work that came out after Dr. Slump had started, but before Dragon Ball. Shows exactly the same kind of twisted bathroom humor as Dr. Slump, but with some of the combat sequences that appeared later in Dragon Ball. Has many of the same character designs, but with a slightly different story line. Dragon Ball (1985-, v32, Y390, SJ, Spanish+TV series+"Dragonball Z" TV series+movies) An RPG arcade game-style series with Son Goku searching out the location of the seven powerful Dragon Balls. When they are brought together, the balls will grant the possessor one wish. Lots of toilet and sexual humor. Very silly, but lots of fun. This series also metamorphed into Dragon Ball Z, which has the same manga name as the original. Most of the character designs are based on those in Dr. Slump. [CH] Toriyama Akira ??

The stories always have a nice twist to the plot, are well-written, and have great artwork. [CH] Yawara! (v23, Big Comic Spirits, TV series+movie+live action movie) Judo romance comedy.

Nana wears a wig in her non-thief identity. She can disguise herself, is extremely athletic, highly skilled, and a determination to always end up on top. The stories are about her life and adventures. Her mother is Shizaki Yukino, a retired thief who went by the title Kaito Narushisu. Another character named Sugar is an inventor/technician/helper who makes sure Nana has the equipment she needs to succeed. In vol.3, there is a change in direction of the story (which is spoofed by the artist/author in the title frames), in which Nana gets a job as an idol singer with the title Flower Dream Nana (she has a trick wand too). ---- Yagami Hiroki ^[$@H,?@$R$m$-^[(J ---- Leave it to the couple Futari ni Omakase (v1-6F) Dear Boys (v7, Shounen Magazine monthly) Basketball. ---- Yamamoto Naoki ^[$@;3K\D><y^[(B ---- (aka.

Most of the character designs are caracatures, with a noticible absence of noses. Also has many in-jokes, and constant references to itself as anime.

In order to curb such crimes from happening one after another, the Metropolitan Police Department has established a special department, the "Special Vehicle Section No.2". It consists of a company of patrol "LABOR" known as PATLABOR. Compared to the anime, the manga version focuses more on character development and jokes are more subtle. Manga also deals with many social, political and enviromental issues in depth.
