Summary: Not your usual Invader story
Review: Hoichi Kano is not your typical superhero. He is not doing this for the 'good of the planet Earth'--he's doing it to feel like a hero and boost his ego. When approached by the beautiful android Isaka, he tries to make out with her. He is unpopular at school because of his grandfather's opinions on the aliens, and the fact that he shares them. Of course, when the aliens turn on humanity, Hoichi and his grandfather are suddenly very popular.If you are looking for beautiful girls and powerful mecha, then look no further. Busty young ladies abound in this series, and Isaka's sexiness even serves a real, logical purpose. And the Exaxxion is right up there with the Gundams and Escaflowne in mecha goodness! I reccommend this to any fan of Gundam, Macross, or Escaflowne. I think you'll like it!

Summary: Kenichi Sonoda's Newly translated manga
Review: IT was sad when GunsmithCats ended but this series is looking great from the beginning. It's about a high school kid, named Hoichi, who lives in a world where first contact with aliens was achieved 10 years ago. The aliens have given the humans great technology and seem to be prepared to release a new elevator-type transport system so they can send large objects through(seemingly faster then any other means). Suddenly the aliens turn on us and lay the smackdown on earth's defenses, leaving us unprotected. The only person who can stand up to the aliens is Hoichi's excentric uncle, who has created a fighting suit, a giant mech with a huge cannon in its chest, and a rather busty and flirtatious android. This manga is a great read for fans of Gunsmith Cats and I await the other releases

Summary: Babes, Bots and REALLY Big Guns
Review: Ten years ago, the aliens arrived and started bringing benefits to mankind. But one man has felt they were silent colonial invaders. He wrote a book about it and has been labeled crazy. His nephew, Hoichi, thinks he could still be right, but has had to bear the brunt of bullies (and is now an excellent fighter). But on the tenth anniversary of the alien arrival, the aliens make their move. They almost immediately destroy the UN forces and take control of the globe. Hoichi has been selected by his uncle to be a hero. He is to be the pilot for a super, giant robot. An excellent story that unfolds nicely. Hoichi is a good hero character and at first really gets into his role. But the power he wields can cause collateral damage and he begins to have doubts. One of the more intelligent Mecca stories out there. Good characters and character development joined the intricate plot and background makes for a very enjoyable story.

Summary: Cannon God Exaxxion is sure to blow you away!
Review: This is one of the favorites of my collection--I practically memorized it within two days of buying it. It has everything... humor, romance, action, adventure, terror, and most importantly--beautiful women and incredible mecha! And it is (semi) believable. Isaka's...assets are like that for a reason, which makes a weird sort of sense. Hoichi is reluctant at first to play the part of the hero, but once he gets a load of his weaponry, his assistant, and his fans, he's all for it. This should appeal to fans of Gundam and Escaflowne, due to the incredible mech designs and action. Of course, fans of Gunsmith Cats will probably enjoy it too. And for those of you that are not in the above categories--read it anyway! You won't be sorry you did!
