KENICHI SONODA On sale September 17, b&w, 32pg, $2.99 Yeah, it was really cute in that last issue, when that darling little Akane ended up in Hoichi's lap while he was piloting his giant robot, Exaxxion. It was fantastic that the sexy android, Isaka, was able to go and rescue Akane and Hoichi's mom from those pesky alien forces, and now the two are up in the cockpit, and what's that in the way of Hoichi's view? Why, it's a cute pair of panties on an understandably embarrassed schoolgirl (this IS manga after all)! But it's not all red faces and panty peeks. No. Strange wires have started snaking out from Akane's leg, and it probably has something to do with that odd bullet the Riofaldian doctor shot into her. At any rate, it's causing a lot of pain for poor Akane, and it's about to cause a lot of trouble for Hoichi and friends. Find out why! Cover price $2.99.
