Mobile Suit Gundam I, the origin by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko

Mobile Suit Gundam, the origin is a science fiction Japanese manga by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. In the distant future, mankind has been emigrating its excess population from Earth into space. Hundreds of man built, terraformed, cylindrical structures were space colonies where millions of humans resided and found new homes and lived peacefully, but not for very long. Side 3, the colony farthest from Earth declared independence from Earth Federation as the Principality of Zeon which declared war on the Federation. In just over a month, fighting between the principality and the federation had lead to the slaughter of more that half of Humanity. The war ended in stalemate and an uneasy truce. During this time the Federation began to secretly develop new and highly advanced mobile suits known as Gundams in preparation for future war. Soon this peace was broken and the Principality attacked on one of the Federation colony's where the Gundams were being developed. In this colony a young boy named Amuro learns how to use the Gundam by himself and displays himself as a capable pilot, defeating many Principality mobile suits. I enjoyed reading this manga because of its Sci-Fi genre, action packed plot, skilled drawn art, and characters both heroes and villains who have great characteristics and well developed back stories. Gundam is one of the manga classics and one of my favorite anime of all time. If you are a Japanese anime or manga fan like me, I would recommend you to pickup this book from the library and start reading.

DragonBall Z by Akira Toriyama

Dragon Ball Z is one of the most famous manga in the world. It follows the life of Goku the saiyan that lives on earth after his life in the famous original series Dragon Ball. Goku fights countless enemies, each one stronger than the last. Goku and his friends will take anyone who reads the manga on adventure of a lifetime. The series is filled with countless moments of humor and jaw dropping moments that will never be forgotten. This book is great for those who love action, adventure, fantasy, comedy and minimal romance. The series itself is long and will not be finished quickly, unless you are a super-fast reader. Almost every chapter represents a story.

The two later become slaves to the military and are chosen to carry out their work for them. Aside from working for the government, the two try to help people and show people the falseness that they have known for so long.

This book is considered a classic in the world of manga. This manga ranks high in popularity closing in on Naruto and DragonBall.

Review:
Full metal Alchemist is a fast-paced manga (Japanese comic) that mixes sci-fi with fantasy and action. This manga has been made to excite with its eccentric, comic, and just ridiculously funny characters. This manga ranks high in popularity closing in on Naruto and DragonBall. The book is a short for those easily entertained and looking for a quick read. Be aware that it does not have color because traditionally manga don’t. This book is for those that like fast paced stories with a lot of action. Every chapter or two represents a different mission that Alphonse and Edward go on. This book is also for people that like fantasy based stories with magic and alchemy in them. This book is not for those that do not like comics (but it’s still good to give things a shot). This book is recommended for anyone to read, but is a must read for comic book, fantasy, and action lovers.

Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama

Attack on Titan is a Japanese manga by written by Hajime Isayama. The book takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where giant humanoid beings known as titans inhabit most of the world and humans are forced to live in cities surrounded by massive walls. The book is full of darkness, horror, and gore with Titans devouring people and destroying towns. But along with this dark fantasy comes a very good plot that develops well, and characters that have interesting backgrounds but at any moment can be killed off. I do not recommend this book for people with the faint heart. but if you are fan of japanese manga and action packed dark fantasy full of twists and climaxes with a excellent plot, then without of doubt this is a story for you.
