Manga in the 80's Pt. 15
Cyber 7. Written and illustrated by
Shuho Itahashi. Eclipse Comics with Studio Proteus published 17
issues in a monthly format from March 1989 to Autumn
1990 spanning the 2 original books.
The manga was originally published
by Hakusensha in the mid to late 80's.
Our young
protagonist Tatsuki finds a photograph that shows a group of organic
androids helping people after a vehicle accident, this he then sells
to a tabloid newspaper, making it public knowledge 14 years after the
accident and exposing their secret existence, and putting himself and
those now teenagers and the scientist in great danger!

The threat to all,
is a 7 foot tall anthropomorphic Rabbit who's technology is way-ahead
of this Earth's time, not to mention his organisation's foot
soldiers!
[Note: The artwork
has a distinctive European feel to it, but the story is one truly
from a Japanese prospective.]
[Note: I only have
a smattering of the comic-books, so it is difficult to do it
justice.]
[Note: For many
weeks now I have been ranking my brain with the notion that “Cyber
7” is not translated from the original Japanese title..... but I as
yet can not find any proof of this!!]
