Giga Tokyo Toybox #3

Volume 3 of Giga Tokyo Toybox bursts with energy right from its cover, where a young woman in a red hoodie and grey jeans leaps dynamically against a bright blue sky, fist raised and hair flying, with a Tokyo cityscape stretching out far below her feet. The series, brought to life by the creative duo of Ozawa Takahiro and Seo Asako under the pen name Ume, channels a vibrant, street-level spirit that feels at home in the Doki Doki imprint's 2009 lineup. If this cover is any indication, the series has real personality to spare.
