Kyukyoku Chojin R

A manga about a new high school transfer student who ends up being an android who is supposed to take over the world.

A early work by Patlabor creator Masami Yuki that’s one of the silliest comedies I read while growing up. Chock full of 4th wall breaking jokes and 80′s Japanese pop culture references, it reminds me a lot of something like Gintama.

I was thrilled to learn that after 31 years, they’ve released a new volume! Yuki has revisited this series recently to commemorate his 30 years of drawing manga. Loved how it still takes place in the 80′s.

A hidden gem of Yuki’s. Recommended if you like silly comedies and the 80′s.
