Super Manga Blast! #49

Dark Horse's Super Manga Blast! #49 packs a generous 128 pages of serialized manga goodness into a single anthology issue. The cover by Makoto Kobayashi places a cheerful young woman in a pink top front and center, surrounded by a cast of characters — stern-faced men, curious onlookers, and a sleek pink sports car in the background — all hinting at the lively mix of romance, comedy, and action waiting inside. Highlights teased on the cover include Club 9, Seraphic Feather, Shadow Star, What's Michael?, Cannon God Exaxxion, and even an anime convention fan's-view section, making this an appealing one-stop read for manga fans of the era.
