I've read up to vol. 14 now. What a ride. What I love the most is how different each Ultraman and their suit from each other. We have a super powered Shinjiro with enhanced suit, ordinary Dan with batman skill and hi tech suit and arsenal, amputee Seiji with cyborg hand, Jack with buster suit, Leo's alien siblings that can morph and Taro suit is just a dampener suit to check his power in check.
The title is Hybrid Insector, but sadly it was discontinued due to copyright. You can find it in online manga site. Even though there is a rumor he will renew the series.
I love the new take on this character, I found vol. 2 and 3 at half price books. I have watched random episodes of Ultraman and I am totally on board with this manga. I am ordering the volumes I don’t have. This is a great for people who have been on the outs with comics in the past five years like me, it has changed my reading habits from comics to now just reading manga.
I am really glad that you are an Ultraman Fan since the number of Ultraman fans in the west is niche. Ultraman is more popular in Asia since the TV stations broadcast more often. I also enjoy this version as a big fan of Ultraman and how it establish it's own lore. I also can't wait for season 2 for the battle of NY being animated. That giant monster they fought and Ultraseven finished it, it is King Joe which is one of Ultraseven's famous monsters. A Japanese app game is also in the works and they are introducing Ultraman Tiga, Dyna, Gaia, Nexus, Zero and Agul in the game. Furthermore, Taro also got his UItra suit and it looked awesome! I am also following the Leo Brothers arc online and it is pretty badass when Seven take on the Leo Brothers. (Since Seven is Leo's master in the original series)
The coolest thing is now they create the gaiden/side story for heisei Ultraman like Tiga and Zero. the Tiga Novel will be written by SSSS Gridman writer.
Awesome, late to this, but getting started on a Manga collection, and Ultraman Season 1 I loved. Gonna get back to Season 2 now and few Ultraman books.
The manga is mature because it is a Seinen manga. Seinen are for adult men. Remember the manga demographics Kodomo-Muke (For Children) Shojo (For Teen Girls) Shonen (For Teen Boys) Josei (For Adult Women) Seinen (For Adult Men)
So would it be safe to assume that the this new manga could be like a new, modern canon to the Ultraman franchise? I haven't seen many of them at all outside of the American one Super Human Samurai Syber Squad (yes with an "S") as well as the SSSS Gridman anime. Speaking of which, is SSSS Gridman supposed to get a season 2? Wait... They made an anime based on this new Ultraman manga?! 😮
@xxnike629xx No need. You'll surely just spam _wishlists_ , hoard *BOXES* and bash the Showa Era and its fanbase if you became a part of Ultraman fandom, similar to what you're doing to the Gundam fandom.
