This manga is basically the tv show with a different narrative structure but again with no definitive ending so shippers are left in the cold once more. At least it won´t depress you like the movie universe at the end even if this is the best Patlabor version as Mamoru Oshii was on top of his game. The here art is nice and calm, the characters are as lovable as ever (isn´t Goto the best?) and the comedic timing is great.
The story flow isn´t quite ideal and i do not understand why we need a third origin tale but oh well. I also don´t quite get why this is a shonen manga even if it is youth friendly but at least the publisher awarded it. Read it even if you have already experienced the other 2 versions as you can´t have enough of this classic.
Masami´s main work Biry is sadly lame but his Atom - The Beginning and Ja Ja Uma Grooming UP! are other quality slice of life with a twist tales and wouldn´t it be nice if Kenrou Densetsu´s printed storys got another chance at life?
