The same doomsday device appears in another Akiyama work in 1972, Za Mūn (or 'The Moon' as transcribed in Japanese). It appears that he lifted the no-hope ending of Terorinman and blended it into the finale of later series, which appeared in the mag Shonen Sunday. In 'The Moon', the forces of the planet Kenneru attack the earth using a flesh-eating fungus as a biological weapon. (The attack comes courtesy of a conspiracy by Kinokuniya Shoemon.)

Only a bunch of kids stands between the human race and the flesh-eating fungus from outer space. Voluntarily contaminated and already doomed, they press forward to the counterattack – love and comradeship are all they have to fall back on. Just before the big push, they celebrate the marriage of two of their number, Sansau and his lover Kateika. But then they fall, one after another. The last sound they hear as they die is the howling of The Moon. Thus endeth 'The Moon'. In Terorinman, the only difference is that the final howl goes to the eponymous hero. The tragedy stays the same.

'The Moon' is a kind of coming-of-age story disguised as a blockbusting yarn about robots. In that sense, I get the feeling that Akiyama was the forerunner of a whole swathe of later works by other writers, from Kidō Senshi Gundam (in the late seventies to Shinseiki Evangelion in the nineties, and in the new century, Bokurano. But the sad fact is that nobody save a few diehard fans remembers Akiyama's 'The Moon'. Maybe it's because the plotline was so completely OTT. Or maybe it's the way Akiyama kept pulling badly-judged visual gags in what's supposed to be a basically serious story.

Possibly the first mecha tragedy?

>The same year, he also published An Introduction to China: A Study of Our Bothersome Neighbors (マンガ中国入門 やっかいな隣人の研究 Manga Chūgoku Nyūmon: Yakkai na Rinjin no Kenkyū?), a highly controversial manga which depicted the Chinese as being obsessed with cannibalism and prostitution, and denied that the Rape of Nanking ever occurred.[1] The book went on to become a bestseller in Japan despite its incendiary content.

Damn, I love his work. the Ashura manga got a 2d/cgi movie adaptation a couple of years ago. I also recall some group translating the first chapter of Zeni Geba last month.

>>14619643
I think you'll have a higher chance of it being a surprise appearance in Super Robot Wars with Zambot 3

>>14618572
Korea's problems with Japan may be more recent, but Korea has been the rest of East Asia's punching bag for awhile.

So, are raws available somewhere?

I can't read George Akiyama. He's the bleakest manga artist I ever read. I couldn't finish any of his stories without a really bad taste in my mouth. He's not bad, he's just completely devoid of any hope for mankind. He's a depressed guy who likes to make people feel even more miserable than he's. If you think Tomino, Ishinomori or Nagai can write truly depressing stories, you don't know Akiyama. Akiyama hates you and wants you to hate yourself and everyone else you know. He doesn't believe in any sort of kindness, he's the ultimate misanthrope.
