“Sometimes it feels a little illegal to publish Kaneko-sensei in English, because his work does have a very different style from most comics in many ways. Blending action, social commentary, and all-out rage, SEARCH & DESTROY is a timely and fresh take on Tezuka-sensei’s original manga that only Atsushi Kaneko can create. It’s the story of a young woman who, more like a machine than a human, hunts and steals body parts from some pretty pathetic creatures. Through the first volume of Search and Destroy, the full scale of the mission, her actions and their importance become clear, setting the stage for the intensity of the next two volumes.
