A few years ago, while shopping at the Mandarake store in the Nakano Broadway Building, I bought the Kenichi Sonoda Artworks 1983-1997 artbook that showcases his art for Bubblegum Crisis, Gall Force, Riding Bean, and Otaku no Video (although I am not sure why his artwork for Idol Janshi Suchie Pai was not included). This book predates his more recent works, such as Gunsmith Cats and Cannon God Exxaxxion. Along with that book, I also bought Period, which is a collection of short manga stories and artworks for Gall Force and Bubblegum Crisis. I thought that it was very cool that there was such a thing as a BGC manga, even if they were only four pages each. As much as I hate how Adam Warren had butchered the Dirty Pair with his comic books, I think he did do BGC justice with his miniseries comic based on the anime. Well, I decided to scan these short manga to share with others. I highly recommend picking this book up.
So, being a huge Bubblegum Crisis fan, I decided to scan this manga, translate it (with the help of my wife, Mayu), and upload it to my site here to share with my fellow BGC fans. Here are both episodes of the Bubblegum Crisis mini-manga, "Gambare, Nene-chan!"
