I can see why this chapter took two months to come out

I can't tell if it's a parody or not…

I haven't found much, just some photographs of pages on Google images, and a few yahoo Japan listings in the area of $100 USD for the one volume https://mangadex.org/title/a68f9b5f-23f8-421f-b083-5b9ede3ef11d/small-soldiers

I never even knew this got a manga back then, but such was the fate of most blockbusters If you're ever able, I'd give anything to see a translation of the adaptation for Small Soldiers, but the tankobons are pretty expensive these days...

Hey, Iron Wok Jan just got an anime adaptation announced and that ended 26 years ago: never say never!

This is how I found out that it's finally getting an anime lol I bought the entire original manga over the course of the 2000s, I never thought anyone would tackle the sequel, but needless to say, I am sincerely appreciative Especially with such a high-quality translation job, major kudos 👍

Every character in this manga is so damn supportive of the main couple that I'm half-expecting the culprit behind her wound to not only deeply apologize, but reveal that she thought it was water she threw on her for some unrelated reason (like a Bunsen burner caused her dress to catch fire or...

I agree but he's also said that real life will likely get in the way far too much for that to be viable, and with an official translation on the way, it's best to wait and hope that it's decent and support that Now if it's crap and they end up giving up on it after only a few volumes (looking at...

Oh, I'm not sure I like that after how their translation for Kuuga turned out... If they had any sense, they'd hire you

Chapter-related: I'm glad to finally see the 'Don't you dare name a Heisei Rider' panel that fans were talking about on twitter due to understandably being removed from the anime https://x.com/nametable/status/1990207481856041243

- Your English is impeccable, I find no fault with it as an English speaker 👍 - your typesetting is also excellent 👍 - Agreed on 'henshin' - you have my sincerest thanks for the pain you went through bringing this to all of us, I've been wanting to see how the manga continued ever since the...

"There's a good chance I'll never wrap this up in the series proper before I have to end it, so let me just get it out of the way now." Pretty good bet we'll get a volume-only extra of how Maruyama and Sheep-san finally got together in the next few volumes

The other mecha's AI represents the straight-laced female character that gets introduced later, usually a class president (which is why she's called 'prez') that usually falls for the male protagonist, and is destined to not be the one otaku-kun picks as his girlfriend GAL was upset that...

The journey of a manga-ka can be an unexpected one, like how Kazuki Takahashi spent fifteen years making one shots and anime tie-ins before hitting it big with Yu-Gi-Oh, or how Takashi Hashiguchi didn't have another big hit after Yakitate Japan and spent a few years doing hentai doujinshi under...
