Yeah, this book immediately went on my buy list, like even more so than previously. Why? Because they have an entire Mecha chapter. Then there's the feats, which seem to exude awesome.

Most importantly of all, there's this:

Mecha & Manga extends the possibilities of the main Mutants & Masterminds rules toward the far shores of Japan’s manga, where nobody sees anything wrong with angsty teenagers piloting humanoid machines of mass destruction, where being an exorcist is a full-time and respected job, and where school girls routinely save the world from unimaginable evils.

Which leads me to believe they're going about this book in exactly the right way.

From page 87 of Mecha and Manga

It’s Over Nine Thousaaaandousaaaandousaaaandousaaaand !!!

One of the staples of inner strength in martial arts is that martial artists can sense it and measure their opponent’s ability before actual battle begins. This is an abstract sense most of the time, with a practitioner simply sensing how weak or strong another hero is in relation to her own skill (the Assessment feat). The more powerful a martial artist is, the greater amounts of chi she can store, command, or shape into martial arts moves. In some settings, a martial artist’s power can be measured, sometimes in vague terms, other times in exact units. Sensing a high amount of inner power will elicit responses from NPCs like, “Your Kung Fu is strong,†or “His power is… over nine thousaaaaand!!!â€Â

See the Chi Level section in this chapter for how to portray this quirk of inner strength in a regular manga setting that integrates martial arts.

There is so much win in this book.

If you like anime or manga, of any variety, get this book, you won't be disappointed.
