Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo #7

Volume 7 of Yoshio Sawai's wildly inventive manga brings together a colorful clash of characters on its cover — the golden-afro'd Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo charges forward with a battle cry alongside a spiky red-haired fighter, a blue rocky creature, and a small orange star-shaped figure, all surging with confrontational energy. The dynamic lineup captures exactly what makes this series so entertaining: a motley crew of bizarre allies facing whatever chaos comes their way. Published by Casterman in 2008, this volume is a fine addition to one of manga's most delightfully absurd action comedies.
