Bobobo-Bo-Bo-Bobo #2
Bobobo-Bo-Bo-Bobo 2
Para algunos de los que la padecen, la calvicie es un problema que puede llegar a nublar su juicio. Este parece ser el caso del Emperador Bola de Billar IV que, obsesionado con su falta de pelo, tiene una idea genial para no sentirse en inferioridad ante los que poseen una exuberante cabellera: crear un ejército cuya única misión es rapar la cabeza de todos los habitantes del imperio. Naturalmente, muchos de sus abnegados súbditos no se alegran, precisamente, de que les rapen el pelo al cero pero se sienten indefensos. Sólo una persona le planta cara al tirano: Bobobo Bobobobo, un hombre que desde su más tierna infancia ha podido comunicarse con el pelo de la gente y manipular el suyo a voluntad. Ahora, como paladín de la justicia capilar, Bobobo reunirá a un grupo de lo más variopinto para hacer frente a tan terrible amenaza y crear un mundo en el que el pelo pueda ser libre. . . Editado originalmente en la revista Shonen Jump.

About the author
Yoshio Sawai
38 books5 followersYoshio Sawai (澤井啓夫 Sawai Yoshio?, born on March 14, 1977 in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture) is a Japanese gag manga creator best known for his series Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and sequel Shinsetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo was adapted into a 76 episodes anime series by the Toei Animation studio between 2003 and 2005.
Sawai made his debut in Weekly Shōnen Jump drawing one shot manga such as Mutekiman and Fierce!! Rock Paper Scissors Island!!, all of which have a gag aspect of manga, usually using satire and visual gags. Not too long after beginning to work for Shōnen Jump, Sawai began experimenting with various concepts regarding characters who fought with bizarre bodily functions, including a hero who fought with farts and a poop-headed hero. His most successful experiment was a Fist of the North Star parody involving a strange afro-haired man who fought against "Hair Hunters" using his nose hairs in a post-apocalyptic society. The character, as well as the story itself, was Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. Over several one-shots, Sawai further defined Bo-bobo as well as introducing other characters, including damsel-in-distress Beauty, fellow nosehair fighter Gunkan (Captain Battleship), rival fart-fighter Heppokomaru (Gasser), and a strange star-shaped creature and fellow "Hajikelist" known as Don Patch. After the success of these one-shots, Bo-bobo became a weekly series in 2001, where it had a long and successful run until its conclusion in 2007.
Sawai's art style is a mix of very blocky-looking characters and, sometimes, very detailed art. He tends to focus on the realistic appearance of his characters' facial expressions when they freak out. Because of the nature of his series, he has often written Bo-bobo version parodies of other authors' manga, including Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball, Yudetamago's Kinnikuman, Kazuki Takahashi's Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Tsugumi Ohba's and Takeshi Obata's Death Note. He was also the leader of a team of gag-based manga artist (alongside Kyosuke Usuta, Amon Dai and Kouji Ooishi) who wrote a special 30th anniversary chapter of Osamu Akimoto's Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo. (Kochi Kame)
Sawai returned to the magazine in September 2008 with new series Chagecha. He has also published a children's storybook, Kirarinchoshirizu.
Sawai's current manga is a spin-off of Don Patch from Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo entitled Fuwari! Don Pacchi.

As a gag manga, this volume just keeps getting more and more ridiculous. As far as plot developments, we meet Softon, and Heppokomaru joins the team.

"'I can't handle these guys,' she thought to herself...."
"God damn it! Of all the ghosts! Why did it have to be the toothbrush set!"
"A MAYONNAISE WAR JUST STARTED!"
"He was wearing glasses, right? He was wearing them!"
"THE NAME OF THE MAN WHO ENDED THE MAYONNAISE WAR IS... KE CHAPPU FUJIN"
"There is poop and the poop is trying to rent a video!!!"
"Shit Coalition"
"He got a CREWCUT!!!"
"Look over here. I'm JENGA!!! Let's play"
"Pirocchi"

"I told you furikake wasn't going to work! One who conquers shampoo conquers Japan!!!"
"Not cut."
"You thought I couldn't shrink it... DON'T UNDERESTIMATE A GIRAFFE!!!"
"So this is an exam war huh... but I will survive it... with this unicycle!!!"
