Omega 6

Japanese video game designer and artist Takaya Imamura’s (F-Zero, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask) debut manga OMEGA 6 comes to print in English for the first time!

After awakening from a rejuvenating months-long stasis, bounty-hunting androids Thunder and Kyla are ready to spring back into action! With the aid of some peculiar magic fruits, the pair are able to enter a nearly invincible berserker state, but with a catch--once the effect wears off, they will age rapidly and become feeble until they can return to their recovery pods. Their current target, an assassin named Petrogaze, carries an appealing 300 million credit bounty on his head and the job seems like an easy task. The duo plans to power up, bag the bad guy, and be home before dinner...but Petrogaze is much tougher than anticipated and the fight goes awry. Forced to consume their fruits early, the bounty hunters are suddenly on a life-or-death timer. Looks like dinner’s gonna have to wait!

Including a cast of unique and colorful characters, OMEGA 6 is Nintendo veteran Takaya Imamura’s debut manga based on his video game, OMEGA 6: The Triangle Stars. This story is complete in one volume and is perfect for fans of Star Fox, Cyborg 009, tokusatsu, and Saturday-morning cartoons.
