Guyver, up to volume 22 now in Japan

Everyone I know who read Guyver got hooked. In Japan, the Guyver mange series has been going for 20 years and is up to volume 22. It's ashamed that Viz only published up to volume 7. No wonder people are selling Guyver synopsis in English on ebay.

The Guyver is THE best manga/anime series ever

Ever since the first issue of the Viz translation came out, I've been hooked on this series. The art and story are both amazing. The plot is surprising and dramatic. Anybody who's a fan of this series should also check out the anime series, which is pretty close to the manga plot, except it introduces characters a bit faster, and it doesn't run as long (I think). Also, the Guyver series is still going on in Japan. I think that it's on issue 80 or something now, and it shows no signs of stopping. Please Viz, bring us the rest of this story!

virtually breathing (and panting) story.

So the introduction has been said by others. All I want to say is that Guyver with all the characters has its own life. The personalities and their struggle for survival make it breath. The emotional part of the boy was most apparent when he killed his own dad and afterwards failed to transform because he felt guilty. But then, he was only defending himself and the creature Enzyme II (his dad) was under complete control of a commander. His brain was not malfunctioning and the guyver suit simply took control and defended him without regard to human emotion. The whole story got me really stuck into it. It's just that the pusblisher tend to print it once in 3 to 4 months here(Malaysia). My manga collection is only up to when guyver I and guyver III were inside the living spaceship and trying to evacuate the people who were against Chronos( they were professionals forced to work for Chronos). The underground center was collapsing and everything was burning to pieces. I simply can't wait for the next episode. You will too when you got started.

The start to a story that's bigger than life

I didn't read the first "Bio-Booster Armour Guyver" graphic novel expecting to get hooked. Actually, the first time I laid eyes on the series of books, I merely flipped through a few pages in the last volume ("Armageddon"), found that I couldn't make sense out of the dialogue, and then thought little more about it. Until, that is, I came across the very first book, and started reading it in the store. I didn't buy it, I just read it. But I bought the next volume, figuring that I'd just continue along. I didn't need the first book, if I had already read it, right? Well, I found that the second book just didn't seem right without the first one, so I bought the first one. Now, I have six out of the 7 published graphic novels, and I'm looking for the last one.In the storyline, we are introduced to Sho, a high school student who accidentally activates a top-secret bio-boosting device called the G-Unit. This unit used to be in the hands of a ultra-secret organization called Chronos, and they want the unit back because it is the only thing that stand in the way of world domination. By activating it, Sho becomes bonded with the unit, which is actually the Guyver suit. Chronos quickly pursues Sho and his friends Tetsuro and Mizuki. If you buy this book, let me warn you..you might find yourself heading back to the bookstore for more!Unfortunately, the publisher hasn't printed all of the volumes of the Guyver Comic books because of a lack of interest. But, if more people could see what this storyline is all about, I think that the demand would be far greater!

This is totally cool!

This rocks!This has more blood and destruction than anything i've ever seen
