Yasunaga Koichirou 安永航一郎

Yasunaga was the pioneer of some now-abused comedic devices, such as the inappropriate use of nigori 濁り (voiced consonant marks that look like backward apostrophes).

Kenritsu chikyuu boueigun [Prefectural Earth Defence Force]
県立地球防衛軍
serialized on Shounen Sunday Monthly, 1984
4 volumes @ Y350, out of print
[ 01:____| 02:____| 03:____| 04:____]

Hysterical, nonsensical farce about three highschool students defending their neighbourhood from Chirusonia, the ultimate incompetent bad guy. An OVA was made; the manga is at least as funny, if not funnier, and it's longer. {KTA}


APG:

Kyonyuu Hunter [D-Cup Hunter]
巨乳ハンター
serialized on Shounen Sunday Monthly, 1990
2 volumes @ Y500
[ 01:9010| 02:9012]

The heroine's boyfriend says, "I just can't love a girl with small breasts!", dumps her, and she snaps. She then goes around disguised as the "Kyonyuu Hunter" (stuffing her bra for the role), collecting breast-prints of women who use their large breasts for evil purposes. Incredibly stupid, pretty funny. The two volumes are labeled 'left side' and 'right side'. {KTA}

Rikugun Nakano Yobikou [Nakano Army Prep School]
陸軍中野予備校
serialized on Shounen Sunday Monthly, 1986-present
6 volumes @ Y360
[ 01:____| 02:____| 03:____| 04:8801| 05:8807| 06:9203]

It's a lot like Boueigun in its characters and concept. Boueigun is a lot wilder and funnier, though. {KTA}

Kaitei Jinrui Anchovy
海底人類アンチョビー
serialized on Shounen Sunday Monthly, 1993-
4 volumes @ Y500
[ 01:9302| 02:9307| 03:9403| 04:9412]

The story of Denka, a 14-year old boy who wakes up one morning to discover webbing between his fingers, and gills on his neck. His father then tells him that Denka was given to him by the princess of the sea, for safe keeping until the day came when the boy was to return to the ocean. Well, today is the day, and Denka (human name is Aramaki, a kind of rice cracker,) is forcibly kicked out of the house to face the world on his own. He teams up with a rather dense merman whose job it is to teach Denka how to behave as a sea-kingdom prince, and has to face the wrath of Okiamisu (the merwoman currently running the sea-kingdom of Anchovi,) and her henchmen (including one dense guy named Eel.) In later chapters, Denka returns to school, and everyone there has to put up with the continued attacks launched by Okiamisu. Near the end of the book, Denka learns how to disguise his merman features, and the story then turns into a normal high school sit-com which pits him against a very ardent, but incompetent female ninja. {CHO}

Ganjou Ningen Spartacus
頑丈人間スパルタカス
serialized on Shounen Captain Comics, 1994-present
4 volumes @ Y520
[ 01:____| 02:____| 03:9505| 04:9601]

About the ultimate in physical perfection, one girl's mission to gain a 'Gold jacket' (ascension by beating the owner up!) Very funny, and a big improvement over Anchovy.
