Spider-Man


Alt Names: alt スパイダーマンalt Spider Manalt Spiderman
Author: Hirai Kazumasa
Artist: Ikegami Ryoichi
Genres: Action ActionAdventure AdventureDrama DramaSci-fi Sci-fiShounen Shounen
Type: Manga (Japanese)
Status: Complete
Description: A high school student named Yu Komori is bitten by a radioactive spider, which gave him spider-like powers. Yu faces Japanese versions of villains such as Electro, the Lizard and the Kangaroo. Yu also has an Aunt May (her name is "Mei"), and the publisher of the Joho newspaper is a counterpart to J. Jonah Jameson.

NOTE: Only 7 out of the 13 Japanese stories in total were fully translated by Marvel, with heavy edits to remove the violent scenes. After that the title was cancelled, which was a likely decision by Marvel since the stories written by Hirai departed even further from the source material, and included scenes of sexual and gruesome imagery of a kind not seen in the original US Spider-Man comics.

This manga started out pretty good.... but went downhill fast after the Mysterio arc. The mangaka shouldn't have killed off Rumi in chapter 11.

The story involving the kidnappers was decent though.

OH YES! I've been waiting TOO long for an update, and suddenly it comes all at once. Thank so you much!

I am not a big Marvel's Spiderman fan, and in start i found somewhat interesting this manga, at least MC's troubles with using his powers in everydays life or his moral doubts, but...

As chapters going on, plots got weaker, MC worthless untill the level of MC of "Freezing", needed to colapse all around him before he do anything :(

At the end, bunch of meaningless scenes of rape without much influence on the story, absurd endings, quite problematic insisting on finding way to explain vilains acts (especially chapters 7, 9,11) ...

I would not blame this on forcefull bringing Spiderman to Japan, its simple quite poor work of author and artist, one of mangas of lowest quality i read untill now. In the end i am totaly supporting opinion of the translator of this manga: http://vatoto.com/read/_/171119/spider-man_v5_ch13_by_hokuto-no-gun/26

interesting take on spiderman.

 

Yes, though probably not as interesting as the take where Spiderman pilots a giant mecha.

Spoiler

interesting take on spiderman.
I read the first chapter and after that all I could think was: "NO. JUST. NO." I'm always trying to keep an open mind, not judge a book by its cover and too quickly, etc., but this "version" is just not right for me.

ah like the other avatar said how many people can say that they read a spiderman in manga form. :o I can't wait for the chance to see supernatural (tv show) in manga too
it's like being bullshitted on a atomic level
Didn't leave a good impression on me, didn't like Chapter 1.
Changing something just to change it doesn't make it better, in fact more often than not, it proves to be just plan awful.
I'm not saying change is bad, far from it, case-in-point: Superman:Earth One, 'nough said.

I wouldn't say that change for change's sake is what happened here (@darksideofsilentbob: like what happened with the recent less ethnically challenged incarnation of Spider-Man). Here change was needed to cross the cultural divide. How well that change is made is often difficult to determine objectively, especially if you grew up with the source material (and even more so if it was/is culturally relevant to you).

I shake me head thinking how hard it would be just to get Spidey's sarcasm to come across, if it is even culturally acceptable...

Anywho, I did get a sense (I'm using sense loosely here) of vintage Spider-Man, but this is definitely a manga, so don't think otherwise going into it. Regardless, it was pretty interesting to see a Japanese representation of Spider-Man differences and all, but I gotta admit, when I saw this title on here I was speechless.
​It's a worthwhile read for any Spidey fan, and for everyone else, why the heck not, I mean, how many people do you know that have read a Spider-Man manga....
I had to bang my head in a table to make myself forget what Hollywood did to Dragonball. It's like seeing your girlfriend in bed with another man. Something changed.
I didn't want to bring this but...America, do you remember what you did to Dragon Ball? sorry guys, I don't want to remember more than that...I still have nightmares...
well, that was basically a japanese spider man,

i don't know what to say to this really, i mean i like how both mediums of manga and american comics are trying to learn from each other, but there is a limit, this seems old, so its possible that this was a one shot, but i don't think japan needs to japananize spiderman, like we don't need to americanize one piece, or gintama, or bleach, or even berserk, try techniques not characters
Xenoevil - Baka Updates doesn't have an entry(they would give the year) but judging by the cars drawn in the manga, I'd say this was done in mid to late 1970s.
Wow a spider man manga, now I've seen everything. It looks kind of dated, when was this created?
ok i will say this haven read this yet but....first reaction is DUDE WTF! OH FUCKN HELL NO. k thats better. now i will read and judge accordingly.but dude peter parker is spider man sorry guys i think u just stepped on a land mine.do u all rember the lashing out when thye wanted to do a half black half hispanic spder man.every one went nuts.
I don't think I can face this. It's like, what if they tried to do a Western cartoon version of Kimi ni Todoke? (Or someone. Pick your favourite manga) The answer: Epic fail.
Still, think of the possibilities. If they can do this, how about a manga version of Asterix? :D
-.- x=z wut
they even made spiderman Japanese x.x
