Manga Summaries

 

This is a series of text summaries of the original Eroica manga. Each story will have a detailed scene-by-scene description of the plot, plus a few scanned pages from the original to give an idea of the artwork. This section is in progress, so check back for new additions from time to time.

Note: In case you haven't seen Japanese manga before, when you look at the scanned pages remember that the panels are ordered from right to left, not from left to right as in western comics.

The following table gives a chronological list of all the Eroica manga stories published so far. Those which are linked have summaries available; click on the title to see the summary. The dates given are those of original publication.
