It’s been just about thirty years since the Shonan Bakusozoku manga from Satoshi Yoshida ended and fans were surprised this week with a new one-shot arrived in the Big Comic magazine as a spinoff of their latest work, Sono Takusan ga Ai na no ka. Single chapter things like this have been occurring a bit more in the last few years with the number of anniversaries of popular titles out there and a number of those creators still active in the field producing new works, making it easier to revisit – and to draw attention to said new works.
The manga had a twelve episode OVA series from way back in 1997 is something of an amusing work in and of itself, but also because it was an early title AnimEigo brought over as something different from a lot of their other titles, but only released one episode of on VHS. Sadly, the show didn’t generate the sales here that were needed at the time and it’s never come up again.
Plot concept: The Shonan Bakusozoku are the toughest riders there are, and they’re only in highschool! But that’s nothing compared to their leader, Yosuke Eguchi. His love of motorcycles is second only to his love of handicrafts!
