Zoids Chaotic Century, Vol. 8

In this book, a teenage boy, Van, his new-found partner zoid (a robotic animal with a will of it's own!), named Zeke, and a little capsule, which eventually will open up, go on a great adventure to stop Raven. Raven sets out to kill as many Zoids as he can. Although this book is b/w (black and white) it offers great depicted battle scenes. This book varies with the show which is on Cartoon Network weekly at 4:30. If you want a great cliff-hanging anime/manga book this is it! Written in English.

The first installment of the Zoids manga "Chaotic Century" tells the story of Van, a boy who wants to become a great Zoid pilot like his dad; and Zeke, a strange Zoid that befriends Van. Things turn nasty when a strange man in black appears, but you will have to read it to find out more. Overall this first installment was, although way to short to be called a manga in my opinion, a good read. If you like Zoids then you will like this manga. If not then you may want to seek a lenghier and more fulfilling read.
