Where it came from
Ultra Fight: Side Story is a comedic manga reimagining of the classic 1970s Ultra Fight television series, which was itself a spin-off of the Tsuburaya Productions Ultraman franchise. Created by Karasawa Nawoki, this volume serves as a satirical homage to the original show’s experimental, low-budget, and often bizarre aesthetic. Nawoki, known for his penchant for parody and surreal humor, utilizes the absurd nature of the original fights to frame a narrative that subverts the traditional heroism associated with the Tokusatsu genre.
The design of the manga captures a distinct retro-modern blend, leaning into the rough, improvisational feel of the 1970s source material while showcasing Nawoki's expressive, simplified art style. Upon its release, the volume was received as a niche but affectionate tribute, appealing primarily to long-time fans of the Ultraman series who appreciated a more irreverent take on its legacy. It stands as a unique entry in the broader library of Ultraman-related print media, highlighting the enduring influence of the franchise's most eccentric early experiments.
