About the series
Based on the hit video game and anime, this 1998–1999 miniseries from Viz Media adapts the earliest adventures of a young Trainer and his loyal Pikachu. Writer and artist Toshihiro Ono brought a unique, slightly more mature manga style to the story, distinguishing it from the animated counterpart. Though brief at only four issues, it remains a fondly remembered entry for fans seeking an alternate take on the franchise's classic Kanto journey.
