Bin ich dein größter Fan? Piro, fanatischer Manga- und Anime-Fan, und sein Freund Largo, ein amerikanischer Hardcore-Gamer und “l33t h4×0rm4573r”, sind in Japan gestrandet. Diese Serie erzählt ihre aberwitzige und romantische Odyssee durch das für sie völlig fremdartige Tokyo. Band Drei schließt dort an, wo Band zwei endete. Nach wie vor ist Piros Gefühlsleben ein reines Chaos. Gut, dass es wenigstens den Games-Shop gibt, in dem er sich als Aushilfe mit sinnlosen Tätigkeiten ablenken kann. Oder ist es vielleicht endlich Zeit, einige wichtige Entscheidungen zu treffen? Währenddessen ist Largo sich sicher, dass die mysteriöse Zombiekönigin Miho plant, Tokyo in ein Reich des Bösen zu verwandeln. Was können der “Great Teacher Largo” und die Katastrophenabteilung der Tokyoter Polizei dagegen tun? Megatokyo Band 3 enthält die Kapitel drei und vier des sehr populären gleichnamigen Online-Comics sowie zusätzlich den exklusiven achtseitigen Comic “Machtlos”, der nicht online verfügbar ist.

Set in the mysterious Great Underground Empire of Quan'Dor, the story follows Pirogoeth and her adventuring party as they venture into the depths not for riches, but to find a way to confront the Winter Walkers leading the Daynish armies. As they navigate the dark tunnels, they uncover ancient relics and face unforeseen dangers that could pose an even greater threat than their enemies above. The narrative blends adventure with elements of fantasy, exploring themes of necessity and the unexpected consequences of seeking power.

Piro, an anime obsessed fan, and Largo, an American gamer, are stranded in Japan and must earn enough money for plane tickets home while they explore the Japanese world of gaming and the cute locals.

The wildly popular web comic that spawned a best selling trade paperback has found a new home! Fans and friends of the Megatokyo web comic have come to love the characters and their offbeat adventures. Whether they are entangled in a fantasy gaming scenario, saving Tokyo from devastation by rampaging zombies, or taking awkward and disaster-filled steps towards a meaningful relationship, we get to experience Tokyo through their many unique and drastically different points of view. Rife with references to video game and anime culture both here and in Japan, it is a story that contrasts the cultures, the characters, and their own perceptions of what is around them. Those new to the series may find familiar emotions and a dialogue that is eerily similar to their own. Volume 2 contains Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the Megatokyo webcomic, complete with miscellaneous comics, sketches and other material. Extra material exclusive to the print edition includes editorial comments by the author and a short story with illustrations from the Endgames gaming universe.

This re-issue of this highly successful Megatokyo Volume 1 brings fans a new and revised version of the book with improved print quality and a larger trim size. This book will contain all the comics from Chapter 0 as well as the running editorial comments featured in the original release. Exclusive to the Dark Horse reissue will be additional drawings, historical notes, and selected rants from this first developmental year of the Megatokyo webcomic.
