Fans of superheroes, the Power Rangers, the tokusatsu genre in general, as well as those seeking an epic action series about a defender of justice with a twist, will be pleasantly surprised by Kamen Rider Kuuga, a classic manga character updated for the twenty-first century. A manga adaptation of the well-known Japanese TV drama series of the same name, Kamen Rider Kuuga is centred on the first Kamen Rider hero for the Heisei Era (the beginning of the 21st century). By expanding its universe and connecting it to other iterations of the bug-eyed hero, this manga goes beyond the limitations of a typical adaptation and redefines its hero for contemporary viewers.
