Kamen Rider: Kuuga is back for an epic second volume, for the first time in English, with more action, more monsters, and more super heroics! This classic manga is perfect for fans of superheroes, the Power Rangers, and the tokusatsu genre.

'I'll fight to protect everyone's smile!' After the awakening of a mysterious figure on the ruins of Kurogatake, Nagano, several 'Unidentified Lifeforms' appeared in Tokyo and started a wave of mass murders. Kaoru Ichijo, an investigator for the police department, meets young idealist Yusuke Godai and his friend, Sakurano Sawatari, who is kidnapped by one of these strange creatures. To save her, Godai accepts the power given to him by an enigmatic spirit wrapped on bandages. By accepting its power, he transforms and becomes... Kamen Rider!

Kamen Rider Kuuga is an ongoing manga series that adapts the television series of the same name and expands on Kamen Rider lore. It's written by Toshiki Inoue and drawn by Hitotsu Yokoshima, and based on the original concept and story by tokusatsu legend Shotaro Ishinomori. It started its serialization in the magazine Monthly Hero's in 2015.

Reviews for Kamen Rider Kuuga Vol. 2

"“A few years ago, it was impossible to find Kamen Rider media in America. However, it is clear that the franchise is finally taking steps to rectify this (…). Hopefully, this means we'll see more American releases in the future so that American fans can more easily watch, enjoy, and support the content they love.” CBR.com “Good action, a cool mythos, handsome-as-heck performers, and a story that keeps you watching episode for episode (…). Kamen Rider Kuuga feels very akin to modern superhero or sci-fi serials.” Nerdist ""Horror-infused art continues to impress."" Anime News Network"
