(W) Yuya Aoki (A/CA) Rando Ayamine
Ban and Ginji are in slow recovery from one of the most devasting battles ever. Lucifer's Archangels are down, but don't seem out. Why has makubex helped our fight torn heroes? There is more adventure for the not so-dynamic duo in this hilarious volume of GetBackers.
Key Selling Points:
A consistent bestseller, according to BookScan
Title has a successful anime series on DVD in the U.S.
Cowboy Bebop meets GTO
Blurbs:
The nice and detailed art with clean, sharp inking and a dynamic layout is reminiscent of Tohru Fujisawa of GTO (no wonder: Rando was Fujisawa's assistant). Humor and intrigue make this sophisticated fighting manga quite original. It's a pleasure reading this funky duo's exploits that are different and more violent than their animated adaptation.

"There's more than one way for manga fans to be shocked. Perhaps they can be taken aback by some saucy language, or perhaps their bodies can be blown to smithereens by thousands of volts of electricity! With GetBackers, it's your choice. Writer Yuya Aoki and artist Rando Ayamine's Japanese manga and anime hit has been denied from American audiences for too long, and even though the 49-episode anime run isn't licensed, TOKYOPOP is bringing the manga tale of two broke yet super-powered kids to the U.S. beginning this February."
