Introduction to Taka
Join Taka, the Notorious Delinquent, as she struggles to right her wrongs after unwittingly releasing a horde of evil robots. It’s tough being a hero.
This new Young Adult graphic novel is designed for fans of the Kamen Rider series. Taka is no hero; the Notorious Delinquent has a bit of a reputation in her city. However, after she accidentally unleashes a horde of evil robots, she begrudgingly takes up the mantle of MECH FIGHTER! Armed with special abilities, Taka sets out to recapture all the robots and seal them back up, playing protector to a city of people who previously couldn't care less about her. While the popularity of the Mech Fighter grows with every adventure, Taka does her best to keep her identity a secret. Because, after all, she has a reputation to keep! Set in a fictional world that takes inspiration from Japanese, Western, and European comics and manga, Taka follows our titular hero, Star (her best friend), Meg (the last survivor of the mythical Science-Priests), and a host of memorable villains on the adventure of a lifetime.
