It's a manga based on Hitler no Fukkatsu! Oh boy, I'd love to own that, or at least see scans of it.

Well it's only 5980 yen, which is about 8 cents.

Actually, that would be about $59.80 in terms of U.S. dollars. Every 100 yen in Japan is equivalent to $1.00 in the United States.

yeah dude I want to know what place you are located in where 5980 yen is 8 cents.  I could go there and bring a few bucks and buy a ton of toys!

:-D

You missed my dollar vs yen sarcasm there.  Those who take everything seriously have less fun in life!

Another example I like to spout is how Miziyaki's latest movie (or whatever his name is) has made about 20 quadrillion yen in Japan but that equals only a hundred million bucks or so.  The yen figure sounds sooooo much more impressive since the number is higher.  People like to say that the dollar has no value, but the yen is worse than the penny!

I thought you just needed a bit of correction there, Joe Redifer. It can be difficult to tell if someone's joking on the Internet at times, especially since you're avatar looks so serious. Hopefully, you can understand that :P.

Although there might be some cool original pictures in there, that's not manga, its a player's guide. Also, its really friggn' expensive!

No problem.  If I sound like I'm being an idiot (literally), I'm probably being sarcastic.

The BC Wiki I found it on said it was a manga.

I guess I shouldn't judge a book by its cover then.

Is there any scans of the Strider manga out there? I heard the US exclusive NES game is based on that.
