Remember the new SD Gundam Gashapon series previously mentioned?

Yup, the manga for the series will start this month on Kero Kero Ace.
Theres a short preview manga on the August issue of Kero Kero Ace, thought that I can share it with everyone.

So get to know more about the “shadow” after the jump!

Onto the manga, more talk after it:

Do you know about “shadows”?
Yes. That familiar guy that stretches out from your feet.

But this guy is a bit different.
He fights… to change the world.

Eeh?
You never seen this before?

In that case, I’ll let you see.
His name is -

The battle with the world as stake begins now!!!

Ok, there it is.

A pretty rough translation, kind of guessed what the terms “Myxis”(seeing the Qubeley makes me think of Axis) and “Eiros” are in english.

Sasaki Shin(佐々木 心) is the mangaka for this new manga. His art for the Gundams looks good. Nice, angular (Naoto Tsushima’s art is more roundish and organic), not too flat and regularly proportional (Koichi Tokita’s SDs go out of proportion sometimes). Masato Ichishiki’s SDs looks good too but I like the style of Sasaki Shin best as it has the Susumu Imaishi(MARSHI) feel which I prefer. Looks like he is a SD Gundam fan too from his site.

Haven’t seen much of his works, only his previous work on Kero Kero Ace “Slayers: Light Magic”. According to his profile some of his works include mangas and 4koma anthologies of series like “Dual Maid”, “Ar Tonelico 2″ and “Rockman ZX”.

Anyway a special SD Gundam Bind figure is coming as a gift with this month’s Kero Kero Ace.

Basically its Bind Gundam with Bind God Gundam’s arm and sword plus original wings. I like free gifts, this issue has a Keroro Quest card and Battle Spirits card :) By the way, those 2 characters are from a toy introducing manga of Kero Kero Ace.

Ok, a bit on the Gachapon series. Each of the Bind figures comes with a “Bind part” and the Bind parts combine to form “Mythology”(kanji equates to “Saint Beast”) which is pictured in the previous post. Interestingly each of the Bind parts have a Gundam face hidden in the design, maybe the manga explain it?

At the official site of SD Gundam Bind, I found more text about the series. A rough translation below:

“Binders”, the MS that possess the parts of Mythology – “Bind Parts”. The shadow clone that only they can discover… that is “Bind”!

With the Bind Parts, the abilities of the MS will increase, the power of the soul of that MS will become the strength of the Bind!

The Bind Parts are powerful but can be a double-edged sword, MS that is weak of heart will have their minds taken over.

But when the 5 Bind Parts come together, the existence beyond legend Mythology will revive!

Now, surrounding Mythology the battle of the MS begins!!

More info from the site. The other gundams have all lost their memories and got different memories transplanted by the General(Eiros I suppose). The motives of Gundam is shrouded in mystery. The Mythology is named “Hadia” so there must be more Mythologies (how can I forget that its a toy series!). I thought Hazel’s Bind is Bind Apsalus III but its not, both their Bind and host are not in the Series 1 lineup.

Nice art with some mystery set up.
Good, I like :P
Looks like I’ll be following this one.
