In 1972, Mazinger Z by Go Nagai debuted, creating the entire mecha genre with a formula that still gets used to this day. Now, while I’ve always been a fan of its charismatic cast and cool battles, it’s never been a particularly deep series, with modern reinventions rarely deviating from what was set 50 years ago. So, in 2009, two projects under the Shin Mazinger banner were made, bringing a more intricately written take on this classic franchise in different mediums, Shougeki Z-hen as anime and ZERO as manga. Here I’ll be talking about the lesser known, but more interesting, Shin Mazinger ZERO.

However, there is a new character in the android Minerva X, and strange hints about the setting that kept me reading to learn the truth. The authors plays with a lot of classic Mazinger villains and story ...

I got to say this and the sequel Shin Mazinger Zero vs Ankoku Daishougun are the best Mazinger mangas of all time , unlike Nagai other Mazinger mangas , they have endings to the story itself , this manga is full of callbacks to past Mazinger and Nagai works , so you may want to read other Mazinger works to get the jokes and shout outs , the plot itselfs goes hard , and the art is amazing , my only problems is a lack of both an anime , and other non Mazinger robots not being in this manga ,
