'Ginga Densetsu Akame'

[M-92 Mantis]

Akamezilla: Fight! The Forty-Foot Tall Ninja Dog of the Extreme!

.....I'd read it.

Akame is not one of my favorite characters, so I might skip this one. If it turns out to be good (not too short or too long and not going the GDR way), then I'll will give this a try. At least it's not GDWO: Baka Inu, then we have another "story to tell" and Orion starts a family and Gin FINALLY DIES.

But, I never expected Yoshi to make a series of the too-perfect Akame.

Here's just what I can put together on my own on the page. Kit said she'd be on tomorrow to translate the page for you, Klomonx

Center title:
First issue of the 50th Year Anniversary Commemorative 3-issue Special
Yoshihiro Takahashi’s new series begins! The long-awaited book/volume comes in colored pages in the introduction/opening page!

Right line of words:
A new legend is born: the Kishuu Inu of the proud and popular Silver Fang Series!

Left line of words (sorry about this one, I couldn't understand it at all):
The swift and skilled Ganin!

Sub-Text On Akame next to the anniversary logo:
The origin (they literally used the Engrish word for roots) of the Ohu army’s officer, Akame, is now revealed!

And the logo is a 30 Year anniversary of Ginga, I believe.

WAIT BUT ACTUALLY?? I'm pretty excited. Mostly because it's not about Orion or Orion's kids (ugh)

Let's hope it doesn't suck completely.

Well this might be exciting! I've always been a fan of Tesshin like many others, but it was the 'ninja dog' concept that I've always really liked! I agree with you though Kausza. Thank god it's not about Orion's kids...

I myself have to see more advertisement or get an idea of what it is to see if I want to read it or not. Maybe Akame's not my fav. character, but I LOVE ninja dogs, so maybe I'll check it out. It depends a lot.

I'm afraid all that important-looking text doesn't say much of anything exciting.

Left: "The ganin (fanged ninja) dog that runs through the air!"

Right: "The Ginga series boasting tremendous popularity once again births a new legend!"

... So by "new legend" he means a semi-main character who was there the whole time and still refuses to die. Okay, Yoshi.

Sorry this took me so long!

Gonna throw my two cents in here.

Personally, I did like Akame, he was one of my favourites in GNG, with Benizakura being my all time favourite. So personally I am excited to read these, someday.

However as the rest of you mentioned, I am really sick of the whole "chosen one" form of story telling. It seems he doesn't know how to write a main character that isn't an almost god sent. I'd like to actually see him develop as a character. But then again, I am also crossing my fingers and hoping for a manga covering the Bears point of view someday, I think that would be amazing.

I just noticed while cleaning chapter 1 that the colored cover of Akame has blue eyes....

Yoshi, I'm not even going to dignify you with an answer to that.

Hi, I am just just a guest user replying to this but I just had a couple of things to say.

I personally has never liked Akame, I always thought he was pretty annoying. So I am kind of upset Yoshi is starting a whole new series about him. I mean, his role in GNG is kinda big, but not in GDW. I believe that this was a mistake for Yoshi to choose Akame to write about. Another thing, Yoshi always revolves around the same breed of dog for his main characters (with the exception of Lonely Ron, Lassie, and FANG). What I mean by this is that he is always choosing like the same breeds of dogs for his protagonists which have been Akita Inu, Kishu, and a Wolf. All of the Ginga series has been about an Akita, Kacchu No Sensu Gamu is about a kishu, this new Ginga Densetsu Akame is about a kishu. Byakuren No Fangu is about a wolf, FANG is about a wolf mix. And most of his other series the main character(s) is usually some sort of Akita or Kishu dog. I believe it would be cool to have a story about a breed that Yoshi hasn't used so much yet like a German shepherd or Kai ken. Something along those lines.

For me, I personally would love to read a series about John. John has always been one of my favorite characters and I was very upset when he died (should've been Akame ). It would be very interesting to learn about John's backstory as a hunting dog with Hidetoshi and his training which supposedly was in another country. It could begin when Hidetoshi found him as a puppy and up to the events of GNG.

Another one I would like to read would be about Jerome (I have a thing for the shepherds lol). Jerome has always been an interesting character and I was very happy he survived in the manga. I wanted to scream when they made him die in the anime because he was supposed to live...and have children and stuff. It would be fun to read about Jerome's life before he joined Weed and his group. Like when he was in his own group that was trying to take down Kaibutsu. It could begin with his life as a puppy and up to the events of GDW.

That's all I really have to say, just some opinions that I have on the manga itself and some other things I would like to see. Thank you!

Hello, Blue!

I'm not much of an Akame fan either, so hearing the news, I wasn't the most ecstatic, but I wasn't full-blown against it, either. I do think it's very unprofessional of all of the advertisement to say that this is about GNG/GDW Akame when, as soon as we go in, it blatantly tells us we're learning about Akame's heritage... way before Akame ever existed.

I agree entirely on reusing the same breeds over and over; it wouldn't even be that bad if he would try giving them some different markings or mannerisms to actually see them as different.

Sadly, I think the only John story we'll ever get is the Namonaki Inu no Uta, which isn't even about John, Yoshi just uses it as an excuse to make a really short story about a generic white dog. I'm not sure how Yoshi even feels about the Kaibutsu arc so that entire event might not even be added if there had been a Jerome story (Yoshi had openly stated he hated the wolf arc and apologized about the Yukimura-Monkey arc).

And thanks for the opinions!
