(from ebookjapan): Messiah, Deceiver, Agitator, or just a man? Who exactly was "Jesus"? Under the rule of the Roman Empire, in Palestine, where Herod the Great reigned. Baptized by the prophet John, and after training in the wilderness, Jesus began to preach in his native Galilee. Many worshippers gather around Jesus, who performs many "miracles" such as healing the sick and raising the dead. One of them was a young man named Joshua, who approached Jesus with a "secret mission". Amidst a whirlwind of speculation, including the Jewish clergy, who are hostile to Jesus, and a faction that is planning an armed uprising against the Roman Empire, Jesus heads for the holy city of Jerusalem with a sense of foreboding his own death. Joshua, who is fascinated by Jesus, gets involved in an incident when he tries to save his teacher and is crucified along with Jesus. Jesus was a passionate religious man who lived 2,000 years ago. He continues to religiously ask the question, "Who am I?" But what an unsettling question it is throughout the Gospels. How insistent it is, sometimes directed at his disciples. How fragile and human he is in his fear of the "inescapable death" that his too-seeing eye announces to him early on, even as he assures his dying son that he is "the Son of God!" (From the afterword).

"Mikawa Monogatari'' is a military story written by Tadanori Okubo Hikozaemon, a hatamoto who served three generations of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Hidetada, and Iemitsu, and can be described as a book of family precepts. Three volumes, three books. The draft was completed in Genwa 8 (1622 A.D.), and revisions continued until around Kan'ei 3 (1626). It records the accomplishments of successive generations of the Tokugawa family up to Ieyasu's father, Hirotada, Ieyasu's life, and the various campaigns that ended with the Summer Campaign in Osaka, while writing down the loyalty of the Okubo family to their master. Furthermore, Tadanori's reminiscences and lessons for his descendants are recorded at the end of the scroll, in which he expresses his dissatisfaction that Fudai's vassals since Mikawa are now being treated poorly. In this complete collection, when converting "Mikawa Monogatari'' into a manga, I tried to involve Tadanori with Isshin Tasuke, who is well known for his stories and movies.

(from... Well, Takezaki himself): Volume I: "What's Tony Takezaki's Mobile Suit Gundam Manga? It's well reputed, the first (!) gag parody of Gundam in history, serialized in the monthly magazine GUNDAM ACE." "Probably the world's most divine-punishment deserving manga rivaling the very popular MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: THE ORIGIN by completely copying the style of the original work by Yasuhiko Yoshikazu, depicting Char, Sayla, Amuro, and Bright in Unthinkable and Unforgivable ways..." "Tony Takezaki's Gundam... Come to think of it, it has been three years since it was started as just a prankish parody... Now it has grown to be one of the draws of the magazine, always keeping 1st to 3rd place in the reader's popularity polls, leaving many other popular titles and mangaka behind... Also recently it has been commercialized by the hobby industry, so I can't help fancying it officially recognized by SUNRISE or animated..." "Anyway, Tony Takezaki's Mobile Suit Gundam Manga will finally be published in the form of a separate Tankobon volume! Tony Takezaki, the editor-in-chief, the editorial department, as well as KADOKAWA SHOTEN (!) are all very serious!! A controversial work?! It will surely become a requisite for talking about Gundam (I think)!!!" Volume II: "Tony Takezaki's Mobile Suit Gundam Manga II is published as a sequel of the last work Tony Takezaki's Mobile Suit Gundam Manga ('04). The mangaka assembled a lot of GUNPLAs for this work and succeeded in development of the manga using SFX photographs of the GUNPLAs. Many gorgeous full color chapters are also contained. Not only readers of Tony Takezaki's Gundam, but all GUNDAM fans will be satisfied." Volume III: "Sequel to the two previous well received Tony Takezaki's Mobile Suit Gundam Manga that will bring this series to its conclusion! All of Tony Takezaki's dedicated side splitting manga will be contained in this volume, with many color pages. We only wish that these pieces of fine work will be handed down to future generations like the movies of MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM as Tony Takezaki's Mobile Suit Gundam Manga TRILOGY!?" (wow brother... now from ebookjapan): The genius Tony Takezaki, using his "super" Yasuhiko touch, puts Char, Amuro, and Sayla through such a terrible mess! The greatest gag and parody manga in the history of Gundam has finally been published in a "forbidden" volume!
