by KENICHI SONODA; produced by STUDIO PROTEUS

The action-packed new ongoing series by Gunsmith Cats creatorKenichi Sonoda is here at last, with a bargain price and super-sized 48-pagekickoff issue! It's a typical school day for Hoichi. He's skipping class andbeating the stuffing out of a bunch of upperclassmen, which makes him about theonly person on the whole planet who isn't glued to the television - today's theribbon-cutting ceremony for the Space Elevator, a gigantic earth-to-orbitelevator built by those lovable aliens, the Riofaldians, who arrived on Earthten years ago. Today, the mass media is proud to report, tens of thousands ofRiofaldians are working side by side with humanity, as good neighbors on themarch to global prosperity. Hoichi's ultra-rich, ultra-brilliant, andultra-eccentric grandfather (the author of a loony book claiming the Riofaldsare out to take over the Earth) doesn't agree and this has driven a wedgebetween him and his equally eccentric grandson. But that - and the history ofmankind - is about to change forever! Don't dare miss the series that'sredefining the giant-robot story for the 21st century - Cannon GodEXAXXION!
