With the release of the brand new
Space Sheriff Gavan movie just around the corner and a crossover into
Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters behind him, the original
Metal Hero is enjoying quite a revival. To add to these,
Akita Publishing has just released the first episode of a brand new Gavan web manga, which can be viewed
online (in
Japanese of course).
Not only that, but two new Gavan novels have been announced - one featuring the original
Gavan, and the second featuring the new
Gavan Type-G. The first book, "
Space Sheriff Gavan The Novel", continues the adventures of
Retsu Ichijouji and a mysterious character named Julia. According to the synopsis, a new criminal organization named Metos appears and hijacks the Dolgiran. With the spacecraft taken, how will Retsu change into Gavan?
The second book, "
Space Sheriff Gavan Type-G The Beginning", tells of
Geki Jumonji and
Sherry's first mission together to retrieve sensitive data from a crash-landed spaceship. The book will also reveal on how Geki became Gavan Type-G.
The two novels are priced
1,050 and
2,500 yen respectively, and to be released on October 19th and 20th respectively in line with the premier of the new movie.
