![]() ![]() The story (set in Tokyo) is very simple to follow in the beginning, there's Birdy who made a mistake and messed up Tsutomu's body and now his mind/soul/whatever is in Birdy's body, everything was explained in a SF matter involving aliens and technology, now Tsutomu waits patiently inside Birdy for his body to be fixed. Tetsuwan Birdy Evolution though is a true sequel manga to this one, the overall plot is not resolved, the 20th volume is not the end of Birdy, so you have to read 13 volumes of Evolution after it.Īlso, the TV anime seasons are a very loose adaptation of this manga, it's basically another story. We have to delve deep a bit into this manga's past and structure to understand its context a little, the author started a similar manga called Tetsuwan Birdy back in 1985 but it was discontinued, you don't have to read that to understand the plot of this one, it has the same characters but it won't affect the reading. It is not a cute slice of life story, this manga is filled with action, battle scenes, SF elements and mysteries, it's as serious as can be, it has some comedy but it's very mild. Birdy is an alien woman with super strength while Tsutomu is a boring and lame high schooler who has a hobby of ![]() The manga tells the story of Space Federation Investigator Birdy Altera Cephon and high school boy Senkawa Tsutomu sharing the same body and fighting the day to day challenges of this weird situation. 218 chapters, each one being comprised of 17-20 pages.

From the first episode I’d say that this one has potential to become quite interesting, but on the other hand it has the same potential to become the opposite. To tell the truth my only reason so far to watch this series is that it is produces by Kyoto Animation and I like what they’ve done in the past. ![]() The other series is Sora o Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai. But that is really the only (and pretty small) point I could complain about and only if I would be force to so. Only the design of the RideBacks doesn’t appeal to me that much, they look a bit silly I’d say. The first one ist BackRide, which looks, sounds and feels just great. In other news I finally found at least two non-sequel series to watch this time. Although the ending of the first season was a bit weak with drawing the amnesia-card at the end, thus choosing a rather easy and unsatisfactional exit-strategy, and albeit this seasons intro being just not the intro of the last season, I still think that this will be quite entertaining. To my pleasant surprise there airs also a Tetsuwan Birdy Decode sequel this season, which now adds my watch-count of sequels up to four. ![]()
