The first installment of the Zoids manga "Chaotic Century" tells the story of Van, a boy who wants to become a great Zoid pilot like his dad; and Zeke, a strange Zoid that befriends Van. Things turn nasty when a strange man in black appears, but you will have to read it to find out more. Overall this first installment was, although way to short to be called a manga in my opinion, a good read. If you like Zoids then you will like this manga. If not then you may want to seek a lenghier and more fulfilling read.
