It's available, it's just not easily accessable to us Western fans because so little of it gets translated.

I didn't know about the Spirits manga (Showa, a thing I don't truck with), so you're completely right that there's more manga than I was aware of. Thanks!

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 on this forum) a Zero-One series running, alongside new volumes of Build, Ex-Aid, Drive, Fourze, etc.
