It's the dawn of a new school year for Fuyuki Hinata. As if the stress of starting junior high wasn't enough, he must also deal with Sgt. Keroro, the froglike alien with apocalyptic intentions freeloading in his attic. But if Fuyuki thought the Sergeant was a handful, wait until he gets a load of his subordinates! His gun-crazy subordinates have started to surface and not all of them agree with the way that Keroro's been running the invasion.
Mine Yoshizaki (吉崎 観音 Yoshizaki Mine), born December 2, 1971 in Isahaya, Nagasaki) is a male Japanese manga artist (mangaka) who first started his career by making dōjinshi based on video games. Yoshizaki also worked as an assistant to mangaka Katsu Aki . His first publication was featured in a compilation book published by Shogakukan in 1989. He is best known for his manga Keroro Gunso, published as Sgt. Frog in the United States, which was first published in the Japanese manga magazine Shonen Ace. He is also the creator of Arcade Gamer Fubuki and did character design on the series Seven of Seven. In 2005, Keroro Gunso received the 50th Shogakukan Manga Award for children's manga.
Holidays, festivals, and intergalactic travel programs are all new experiences for the Keroro Platoon. The Sergeant keeps getting distracted from his invasion by the Hinata family, Angol Moa and Gundams.
Well, lately I've been reading this series a lot - it's hilarious! Where else can you find:
-A game of Parcheesi where the winner achieves world domination? -Aliens who mooch off of people's hospitality by posing as celebrities? -A flying policewoman who constantly says "poyo?"
Yup, those are some of the mad things you'll find in Sgt. Frog, Volume 5. One benefit (for me, anyway) was that the fanservice quotient was a bit lower in this volume. Overall, if you like quirky comedies like Pinky and the Brain and Invader Zim, Sgt. Frog is brilliant!
