Tiger & Bunny Comic Anthology, Vol. 1 (1)

Bite-sized fun to tide things over
What's not to love about this? Combine the buddy-cop bromance of Starsky and Hutch with superheroes, and you'll get Tiger & Bunny. After a considerable drought since Season 1 ended, this - along with the official manga and 2 films - is just the thing to tide over fans until Season 2 arrives...soon-ish? Soonest? Jury's still out on that.Some of the artwork is gorgeous, some are so-so...but they're all within the comedic essence of the show. The Heroes engage in silly shenanigans and schemes when the HeroTv cameras aren't rolling. Some stories even re-examine the complex and oftentimes volatile relationship between Wild Tiger and Barnaby. All in all, a really good light-hearted read, enough to keep me occupied for hours on end.

If you're a fan of the Tiger & Bunny anime this collection of short stories is a very fun read. There's lots of silly character pieces which seem take place between the action of the first half of the series, which range from sweet friendship dynamics to zany observations about invidual character quirks.

"Tiger & Bunny Anthology" features 35 short stories by many manga artists... Fun, crazy and definitely a must buy for T&B fans!
With a current ongoing “Tiger & Bunny” manga series (based on the animated series) being released by Viz Media, a new “Tiger & Bunny Comic Anthology” series will be released via a 2-in-1 omnibus.Featuring over 35 short stories by different mangaka, the anthology series features each character in crazy and wacky situations as imagined by each mangaka which include Ichimiya, Kuro Nijo, Min Sakusaka, Ayumi Kanou, Pochi, Miki Maki, Uka Nagao, Tsutomu Ohno, Yoko Fujioka, Ryo Fujiwara, Renji Kuriyama, Toru Tegoshihara, Mamika Mitsushio, Hazuki Matsuo, You Asami, Ran Sakaduki, Hayato, Tomo, Suisu Kaneshiki, Rihito Takarai, Jun Kusuki, Nokiya, Sawaike, Uka Nagao, Min Sakusaka, Suzu Kohno, Arata Shion, Souji Ishida, Hazuki Matsuo, Watari, Takumi Yoshimura, Mamika Mitsushio, Aya Sakurai, Kazuki Soma, Sawaike and nap.Each short story are stand alone, have nothing to do with the actual canon of “Tiger & Bunny” and last about 1-13 pages long for each storyline.Fun and crazy storylines are featured such as Blue Rose worried that she has gained weight, the team wondering why Kotetsu’ goatee is styled a certain way or it naturally grows that way. Another story features the group having to dress up during Halloween, what happens when each superhero teams up with a partner temporarily, what happens when Sky High wants to play karuta (card game) or what happens when the team tries to make Barnaby laugh (Since he’s always so serious) or what happens when the group competes in a marathon or discussions about how everyone has their own cool hairstyle and more!JUDGMENT CALL:“Tiger & Bunny” is one of the more popular series (anime and manga) in 2013. From when I saw photos in Japan of the number of Tiger & Bunny cosplayers at Tokyo Anime Fair and Anime Contents Expo and even of the number of Tiger & Bunny outfits that people in Japan are sporting in the Nintendo 3DS video game “Animal Crossing”, suffice to say, “Tiger & Bunny” has won over a lot of fans.And I can definitely see the allure, America has its fair share of comic book superhero teams that have been featured in comics, animation and live action films, but in Japan, while there have been sentai hero teams, “Tiger & Bunny” takes a western approach to the superhero but gives the superheroes that unique spin with corporate sponsorship and reality TV.And as Americans are discovering “Tiger & Bunny” with the release of the Blu-ray and DVD of the anime series and the manga by Mizuki Sakakibara, in Japan, there are a number of “Tiger & Bunny” manga, books and mooks. And it will be interesting to see how many of them will be released in the U.S.And for “Tiger & Bunny Comic Anthology”, several have been released in Japan and the good news is that it will be released in the U.S. as a 2-in-1 omnibus.For the most part, the stories by the individual mangaka involved are crazy and whacky. With some pages for each mangaka lasting 1-13 pages, most of the stories are lighthearted and humorous, nothing serious. And it doesn’t affect the main storyline of the series as a lot of these stories are gags.With so many writers/illustrators involved, you get to see various styles of “Tiger & Bunny” as interpreted by that mangaka.As one can expect, some storylines are hilarious, some are not but the enjoyment of this anthology is that there are over 35 short stories featured and each story is so different, may it be the art or the whole setting. Everything is so random but it’s what I enjoy about manga anthologies.Overall, “Tiger & Bunny Comic Anthology 2-in-1″ is for fans who enjoy the characters of the popular series but want to see them in crazy situations. May it be each of the superheroes trying to bond over hairstyles, fashion, friendly competition or eating the most sour umeboshi, each of these short stories are random, hilarious and just a lot of fun.Featuring over 35 short stories with over two dozen up-and-coming manga writers and illustrators with their own wacky interpretation of the “Tiger & Bunny” world, it’s an anthology definitely worth reading!Recommended!
