Mobile Suit Gundam MSV-R: Johnny Ridden no Kikan ends after 13 years
Kidou Senshi Gundam MSV-R: Johnny Ridden no Kikan
The September issue of Kadokawa's Gundam Ace magazine published the final chapter of Ark Performance's Mobile Suit Gundam MSV-R: Johnny Ridden no Kikan (The Return of Johnny Ridden) manga on Wednesday. The manga's 26th and final compiled book volume will ship on September 26.
The story begins in U.C.0090 with a Federation investigative committee that is doing research on little-known mobile suits used towards the tail end of the One-Year War, as well as their pilots. One such pilot is the Zeon ace Johnny Ridden.
The manga features and showcases mobile suit designs from the Gundam franchise's MSV-R (Mobile Suit Variations R) project, which is not a story, but instead a series of variations on existing U.C. mobile suit designs, or original designs by mecha designer Kunio Okawara. The designs have been compiled in a number of sourcebooks and featured narratively in some spinoff manga, of which Johnny Ridden no Kikan is a part of.
