Monthly Gundam Ace (KADOKAWA) is celebrating its 25th anniversary with the August issue released today, June 26th. To commemorate this, the logo and magazine cover have been renewed starting with this issue. Five new series have also started.
The New Series
Among the new series, 'Double Fake Reprise' by Ukyo Kodachi scenario and manga by Kenji Yamamoto and Rui Takato is a remake of Yuji Ushida's work 'Double Fake' written in the late 1980s. The film depicts the activities of Dariel Gans, a 'hot-blooded guy' who pilots a D Gundam that he built himself from discarded parts as a maniac. To celebrate the revival of the masterpiece, the same issue also includes an interview with Ushida, with Kodachi as the interviewer.
Yoshio Mokomokomaru Masao 'Mobile Suit Gundam EXVS. Girls on Extreme' is a work based on the arcade game 'Mobile Suit Gundam EXVS.' series. In a world where 'EXVS.' has exploded into popularity, this is a girls' e-sports manga in which girls take on 'EXVS.' in order to save an outdated game center that is on the verge of closing.
More New Series
Kazuya Tani's meta-meta-filled comedy 'SD Gundam G Generation Eternal 4-koma' and 'Kido Senshi Gundam SEED Solve Your Problems! Shin & Impulse', a comedy set in a world where humans and mobile suits coexist harmoniously, have also started. A prologue to Kozo Omori's 'Shien is not influenced by Minovsky' was also published.
