81 Yuki Masami $@$f$&$-$^$5$_(B

anime-parody manga artist. He is a well-known Tomino otaku and most of his
parodies were on Gundam and other Tomino works.

Assemble Insert $@%"%C%;%s%U%k!&%$%s%5!<%H(B - published by OUTC, Y620.
A truly inspired parody of the super-powered crime fighter genre. Most of
the character designs are caricatures, with a noticible absence of noses.
Full of in-jokes, and constant references to itself as anime. The hero is
a 14 (or so) year-old girl with super strength, who has been enlisted by
the police force to entertain the populace while they wreak havoc fighting
the ``Demon Seed'' crime organization.
The Ultimate Superman R $@5f6KD6?M$"!A$k(B - published by Shonen Sunday, 9
volumes @ Y370, 4 wide-ban volumes @ Y680.
Yuki Masami's first major work. Due to the high content of in-jokes, this
manga might be hard to understand, but for those who have grown up with
manga, anime and live-action stuff, this is a manga that you won't want to
miss.
Kido Keisatsu Patlabor $@5!F07Y;!%Q%H%l%$%P!=(B [Mobile Police Patlabor] -
serialized on Shonen Sunday, 1988-94, 22 volumes @ Y390, 3 wide volumes @ Y700.
With the rapidly accelerating development of hyper-technology, a
humanoid-like machine known as the ``labor'' is being used in every field
of industry. However, it has created the new social menace of labor crime.
In order to curb such crimes, the Metropolitan Police Department has
established a special department, the `Special Vehicle Section No.2'. It
consists of a company of patrol labors - the ``Patlabors''.
Compared to the anime, the manga version focuses more on character
development, and the jokes are more subtle. The manga also deals with many
social, political and enviromental issues in depth. There are several good
artbooks available (eg. Patlabor Layout-shu
