Issue #9: Kinnikuman Manga

Hey, gang. Just a quick one.

 Due to my recent interest in M.U.S.C.L.E. -- and a renewed desire to explore its origins -- I've tracked down online fan translations (a.k.a. "scanlations") of the original "Kinnikuman" manga.

Created by the artist/writer duo Yudetamago and first published in 1979, "Kinnikuman" was conceived as a parody of tokusatsu (i.e. "special effects") TV series like "Ultraman" -- and, so far, it's really fucking charming.

Anyway, here's a link to 300+ (phew!) translated stories. Enjoy!

See you soon!
