As we enter the third volume of giant robot action and teen angst confusion, our young hero moves in on Tokyo city after assisting in the escape of his mom and his high school crush, Akane. But the two haven't escaped the clutches of the technologically superior aliens, who may prove to be more clever and conniving than hero Hoichi's rake of a grandfather ever imagined.

Volume 4 - 1st printing. "Stage: 4!" Story and art by Kenichi Sonoda. Hoichi Kano's responsibilities are just a bit heavier than those of your typical teenager-- taking out the garbage, mowing the lawn, or washing the car fall just a bit short of single-handedly fighting an alien colonization! Luckily, Hoichi's got the right tools for the job, like a state-of-the-art integrated gunsuit and the antimatter-powered giant robot, Exaxxion. That's some heavy-duty ordnance, but the invaders didn't make it halfway across the galaxy without some pretty impressive gear, including a major league mega-robot of their own that incapacitates Exaxxion, forcing Hoichi to take on the Riofaldian hordes solo in a last-ditch effort to free Exaxxion, humanity's last chance to prevail against extraterrestrial tyranny! Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 208 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $15.95.
