Hoichi is Kano is a typical Tokyo teenager...EXCEPT that he pilots a state-of-the-art integrated gunsuit AND the antimatter-powered, cannon-toting, mega-robot Exaxxion AND he may be humankind's last hope against colonizing aliens. Other than that, he's just your absolutely typical teen. Luckily, these extras will make matters a bit easier when he has to rescue his high-school crush--and his Mom!--from alien imprisonment. Of course, he may have to spend a bit of time explaining about his sexy shape-shifting android assistant, and he might need to do some image damage control after he levels a building or two, but that's nothing any teenager couldn't talk their way out of, right?

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.

Volume 5 - 1st printing. "Stage: 5!" Story and art by Kenichi Sonoda. Life has started to look up for Hoichi Kano. Sure, he's Earth's only hope of resisting an insidious alien colonization-slash-invasion. Sure, he's had to deal with the fact that every time he uses his super-powered gunsuit or the mighty robot Exaxxion to fight the aliens he puts the lives of everyone he loves in danger. But every high school student has issues, right? Now, Hoichi is kicking butt and taking names, and it looks like he has the Riofaldians on the run. He's got the girl, the guns, and his father-a depraved, eccentric genius who commands a war room full of voluptuous androids-on his side. What more could a hero need? But in the shadow of a tenuous cease-fire a battle still rages, with both sides desperate to win the support of the masses-both Human and Riofaldian alike! With so much propagandized mud being slung, will anyone know who the true enemies are at the end of the day? And will anyone notice just how close the Riofaldians are to breaking through the Kano family's defenses? Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 208 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $15.95.
