In my time reading comics, I would have to say that the Japanese are number one at making some of most eerie, creepy and downright disturbing horror comics that I have ever read. You have stories like The Drifting Classroom, Higurashi, Dragon Head, Franken Fran, and so many more.

Hiroshi Kanno's Mutant Turtles Gaiden manga series comes to an abrupt and all too early conclusion with this fourth and final chapter. I suppose I'm not shocked to see it end so quickly; coming out in 1996, the same year TV Tokyo canned the Japanese dub of the Fred Wolf animated series, the TMNT had just about run their course in Japan. The novelty wore off, the fans were moving on to other media (Neon Genesis Evangelion took their timeslot, believe it or not) and the ride was just about over.

Finally getting the chance to read (and translate) Hiroshi Kanno's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles manga, Mutant Turtles Gaiden, was something of a dream come true for me. Though the feature is now defunct, back when ninjaturtles.com was still owned and operated by Mirage, it had a page dedicated strictly to the various TMNT manga that graced Japan's shelves... albeit the page was full of incomplete information, vague credits and only a handful of low quality scans.

One of the few skills I managed to pick up in college was a functional proficiency in Japanese. And while I'm not a fan of Japanese comics or cartoons, I do like to indulge in some of their bizarre adaptations of our media. In particular, the Japanese Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles manga of the early '90s is some weird, weird shit.
