MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM THE ORIGIN MSD Cucuruz Doan’s Island 2
$19.95 +tax
The epic spinoff of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko’s Mobile Suit Gundam: THE ORIGIN continues!
This is the story of Cucuruz Doan like you’ve never seen it before.
As Vasily, Kitz, and the rest pick up the pieces in the wake of their commander’s desertion, their recollections provide unprecedented insight into the development of the mobile suits and the outbreak of war with the Federation. Unfolding with the franchise’s classic mix of action and pathos, we see events—including the decisive battle for Jaburo—entirely from the Zeon perspective, with the Gundam itself forever looming in the background as a silent, unstoppable foe.
Series Overview: “Cucuruz Doan’s Island” was created as a spin-off of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko’s “Gundam: the Origin” manga, taking up and expanding a story that Yasuhiko had left out of his original series. The story of “Cucuruz Doan’s Island” originally saw the light of day as episode 15 of the original “Gundam” television show, but due to sub-par production it was omitted from later film and manga versions, and was never imported to the US at all. The story therefore has something of a legendary status in the Gundam fan community, and here Junji Ohno has expanded the core of the story into something grander altogether, with the imprimateur of Yasuhiko himself.
