What’s great about the Henshin genre is that transformations are not confined to what you think is normal. This is another difficult title to get a hardcopy of, but you can get the Japanese edition on Amazon here: ORIGINAL CHRONICLE魔法少女リリカルなのはThe 1st 1(Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The 1st Volume 1) Her strong aptitude for magic allows her to fight and overwhelm the monsters and successfully collect most of the jewels. With the help of a magical wand, Nanoha transforms into the titular magical girl. Now in his weakened ferret form, Yuno can only rely on Nanoha to help collect these artifacts. Known as Jewel Seeds, they give powers to those who contact them, often transforming them into crazed monsters. His job took him to Earth to collect a set of 21 dangerous ancient artifacts now scattered everywhere. This creature is a mage named Yuno, who’s an archaeologist of sorts from Midchilda, an alternate world that’s quite different from ours. She lives an everyday, mundane life with her parents and older siblings until she rescues an injured ferret. This story introduces us to Nanoha Takamachi, a young girl still in elementary school. You can find this title on Amazon here: SUPER SENTAI: Himitsu Sentai Gorenger – The Classic Manga Collection All they do is change the name of the team, the colors, the theme, and maybe add a backstory for the lead characters, but the main story is still based on Gorengers. In an ambush, all but five EAGLE agents were left, but they were then summoned to an underground lair and given battlesuits that greatly boost their fighting power.Ĭonsidering this is the first of many stories like these, it’s pretty impressive how this formulaic storytelling still works to this day. As a response, EAGLE or the Earth Guard League is formed to fight them. Storywise, it’s pretty generic: a terrorist group called the Black Cross Army is wreaking havoc worldwide. However, it blazed a new genre, which can be seen by the continuously growing list of Power Rangers iterations in the West.
#Manga metamorphosis series#
Unfortunately, this is only one of the few Super Sentai series with a manga adaptation alongside its live-action release. It’s no surprise that the brain behind Kamen Rider also created the grandfather of all the “Rangers” hero series, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger.
