Kenichi Sonoda's Newly translated manga
IT was sad when GunsmithCats ended but this series is looking great from the beginning. It's about a high school kid, named Hoichi, who lives in a world where first contact with aliens was achieved 10 years ago. The aliens have given the humans great technology and seem to be prepared to release a new elevator-type transport system so they can send large objects through(seemingly faster then any other means). Suddenly the aliens turn on us and lay the smackdown on earth's defenses, leaving us unprotected. The only person who can stand up to the aliens is Hoichi's excentric uncle, who has created a fighting suit, a giant mech with a huge cannon in its chest, and a rather busty and flirtatious android. This manga is a great read for fans of Gunsmith Cats and I await the other releases

Product Description
Let's say you're Hoichi Kano, typical high school student. Earth has been taken over by what seems to be a kindly, co-existing race of aliens. Your brilliant -- and depraved -- grandfather, whom you haven't seen in years, shows up to deliver a sexy android AND an integrated, armored, nearly indestructible gun-suit for your personal use. And just in time, because a ball-shaped robot with razor blade arms has just sliced through a wall like soft butter. Think that's a bit of a culture shock? Wait until you find that our alien friends aren't quite as friendly as we thought and that this mechanical monstrosity is just the tip of the invasion iceberg! From Gunsmith Cats creator, Kenichi Sonoda, comes Cannon God Exaxxion! Collecting issues #1-8 of the series. Top to learn more
Babes, Bots and REALLY Big Guns
Ten years ago, the aliens arrived and started bringing benefits to mankind. But one man has felt they were silent colonial invaders. He wrote a book about it and has been labeled crazy. His nephew, Hoichi, thinks he could still be right, but has had to bear the brunt of bullies (and is now an excellent fighter).But on the tenth anniversary of the alien arrival, the aliens make their move. They almost immediately destroy the UN forces and take control of the globe. Hoichi has been selected by his uncle to be a hero. He is to be the pilot for a super, giant robot.An excellent story that unfolds nicely. Hoichi is a good hero character and at first really gets into his role. But the power he wields can cause collateral damage and he begins to have doubts.One of the more intelligent Mecca stories out there. Good characters and character development joined the intricate plot and background makes for a very enjoyable story.

Sonoda delivers guns, girls and giant robots
After Gunsmith Cats ended in the 90's all I heard was that Kenichi Sonoda was going to work on a giant mecha project. I hoped it would be a TV series, but it turned out to be another manga series. I picked it up a copy of volume one, and was immediately surprised and entertained.Let's face it, the mecha genre had a major game change after Evangelion came out. Then every series and manga went out of their way to imitate its success: angst filled pilots, combining the philosophical and psychological ramblings with the action, and of course you have to have a completely incomprehensible ending (even if Evangelion's ending made sense to some people). It was all getting old and stale.Sonoda must have felt the same way, because he brought back the mecha genre with a return to basics. Aliens invade attempt to take over the earth and only a young pilot in his huge mecha can stop them. Nothing fancy, just simple and straight to the point.Of course this being...
