The other ones, though, they're all one-offs, and most of them are from years ago. It's weird to me that there isn't a steady stream of manga focusing on the current show (seems like a great promotional tool?), or recent/hit seasons. With all of the V-Cinemas and Rider Times and whatnot, it's not like Toei doesn't want to mine those fanbases. And mangas allow for team-ups and continuations you'd never get to see in live-action. Why isn't there a Den-O/Kuuga/Double team-up manga right now?

Like, it's not that the manga don't exist, but I'm used to something like the Doctor Who or Star Wars comics, where it's intensely focused on what's happening right now in the franchise, with plenty of new stories for older corners. It's weird that there isn't (again, from what I've seen n this forum) a Zero-One series running, alongside new volumes of Build, Ex-Aid, Drive, Fourze, etc.

All the manga I mentioned are still running! The Faiz one began last September, afaik. Plus, I always got the feeling Rider is a much more closed off world than most superhero things - it's not like there's a continuing series of adventures or a huge range of cast to go on, most stories are pretty self-contained, with week to week changes probably being hard to keep track of in the comics.

EDIT: Oh, and if you're after weird crossovers, the SIC Manga is where you want to look. The wiki is a little scant on the details, but they have the heroine of Decade become a version of Gaim.
