Debuting in Monthly Shonen Ace in 1999, Yoshigiki Mine's manga explored the relationship between a conquering frog from space and his seemingly normal human adopters. Or something like that. Keroro Gunso (translation: Sergeant Frog), leader of the Space Invasion Forces Special Advance Team of the 58th Planet of the Gamma Storm Cloud System goes on a reconnaissance mission to Earth in order to learn more about the blue orb before an invasion proper commences. Unfortunately for him, he is caught by two members of the Hinata household. Despite some early strife, Keroro and siblings Fuyuki and Natsumi Hinata become friends... or in the case of Natsumi and Keroro, master and servant. The PS2 Keroro game plays like a Smash Bros of sorts where characters such as Keroro, Angoru Moa, Giroro Gochou, the Hinatas, and others complete in battle games, button mashing challenges, and other simple exercises that won't tax cognitive skills. Little humorous references to Gundam and other manga/anime properties pepper the mini-games. View the back cover.
