Sgt Frog Manga Volume 1
I wanted to read the Sgt Frog manga after I watched the anime. Lucky for me I found the first 3 volumes in a single book before I picked up volume 1. That saved me some money.
Story
Sgt Keroro was on a scouting mission to gather data on Earth before the invasion force attacked. Unfortunately he was discovered by Fuyuki Hinata and his sister Natsumi before his mission was complete. Because of that, the attack was postponed and the invasion force had no choice but to leave him and his team behind.
Now Sgt Keroro is a captive of the Hinata family, but things aren’t so bad. He has his own room from which he can plan to conquer the Earth, his Gundam models and plenty of housework to keep him busy.
My Opinion
I enjoyed Sgt Frog. There is a lot of story packed into the manga volumes. There are at least 5 anime episodes worth squeezed into the first volume alone. Sgt Frog is non-stop from cover to cover. The only slow parts are the ones that are meant to be slow.
The manga should appeal to the fans of the anime too. The story is told a bit differently. The chronology of events was changed for the anime too. I’d say that it’s similar enough to be enjoyable and familiar, but different enough to hold the interest of someone who has seen the anime.
Is it worth it?
Yep, Sgt Frog is worth buying. It’s very entertaining, has lots of humor and each volume is packed with fun. I’d recommend getting the book that has the first three volumes, you’ll save a lot of money.
