Adventure (693)

Whether aiming for a specific goal or just struggling to survive, the main character is thrust into unfamiliar situations or lands and continuously faces unexpected dangers. The narrative of adventure stories is always on how the characters react to sudden events or trials during the journey, indicating personal growth or setback based on which actions or choices are taken. Character development as a response to the journey's dangers is a requirement of adventure stories. Simply experiencing foreign lands or worlds is not adventure.

Fargas is one such Designer, the son of a famous one, who is now sick and dying and needs medical care. All of this costs money, which the family doesn’t have, living in the slums of the city. But what Fargas doesn’t know is that his fraternal twin sister, Jennifer, who was seperated from him at birth, has the ability to Model - and when put together, they make an unbeatable team. Will Fargas become a world-class Designer? Can Jennifer, who has never Modeled before, enter the War King and beat other famous and deadly Models competing against her? Can they both save their father from untimely death?

Getter Robo

Nagai, GoIshikawa, Ken 2024
The first Getter Robo series chronologically published 15 years before the rest of the manga. Getter Robo pioneered the idea of the combining and transforming robot.

Millions of years ago, the dinosaurs were driven deep underground due to the sudden arrival of "Getter Rays" on Earth. After evolving into sentient beings, they grew bitter and vengeful at the humans who replaced them on the surface and began plotting their attack on humanity.

Fighting against them is Getter Robo, a machine built by Professor Saotome which uses the mysterious Getter Rays as its power source. Piloting it are three strong-willed young men—the violent martial artist Nagare Ryoma, the psychopathic yet highly intelligent revolutionary Jin Hayato, and the hot-blooded judo master Tomoe Musashi. Each controls one of three specially designed combat jets which can be combined together in different forms to form three different kinds of giant robots: the flying, axe-wielding Getter-1, the quick, drill-wielding Getter-2, and the tough, tank-like Getter-3.
