Manga Thoughts: The Men Who Created Gundam

When Denpa announced they would translate and release a manga presenting “the true (yet comedically skewed) story of the making of Gundam,” that got my attention. I have to admit part of the reason there was because I’d read a “scanlation” of that very manga a while ago. It had been interesting and amusing, but recollections of that fan translation having the stilted and awkward flavour I get from a good number of such far from upright versions had me as glad as ever to have the chance to make up some, but not all, of my karma. With the way volumes of Denpa’s “Inside Mari” release took a long time to become available for purchase, though, I also have to admit to certain thoughts there’d be no resting easy until a copy of what was now titled “The Men Who Created Gundam” was in my hands.
