Shinesman is a comedy series that parodies shows like Power Rangers or Ronin Warriors. There were only ever two episodes released, with notably hilarious dubbing for a show. The manga series has 9 volumes and is drawn by Kaimu Tachibana, who often draws BL, so you can expect there to be innuendo or jokes about the male characters being too close.... more>>

The main story in Shinesman is that Matsumoto has joined the Right Trading Company, and somehow was picked to become the newest member of a group of superheroes called "Shinesman" (which would sound like "Businessmen" in English). They fight evil aliens who are trying to take over the business world. It's light-hearted and undeniably cute.

Ever seen a little show called Power Rangers? Or any of its relatives stateside or around the world? Well this is a mix between a parody, a satire and a tribute to all the greatness of Super Sentai all rolled into one... with a twist. This task force of heros have jobs, a boss and a 401k. Set during the bubble economy of the 1990s, this campy but loveable manga brings office comedy to a classic genre of super hero shows. If you have a chance, the anime is released in the United States (all 2 episodes) so go check it out, and get ready for the manga! <<less
