Hey I got your message, and I've got stuff to show you. When I was on MangaFox trying to find material on Mazinger Z, especially the original manga, I came across the page. The first three volumes were good; exciting, fun, and a little tear-jerking. I knew these were from Go Nagai. But after going into the fourth and fifth volumes, I noticed something strange. Here's the volume 4 cover: http://mangafox.me/manga/mazinger_z/v04/c000/1.html. Perfectly normal with the Gokyun U5 at the start (I think this one is Go Nagai). But after that, I noticed a change in artwork with this chapter: http://mangafox.me/manga/mazinger_z/v04/c000/36.html. But when I noticed Boss Borot later, I was confused on where the Borot came from and Boss not boasting about it. A few chapters later I noticed that the Aphrodite had color and weapons more similar to how it did in the anime. When I heard that Baron Ashura died in volume 5 and the presence of Viscount Pygman, I had to think for a few minutes and then it hit me; Gosaku Ōta. I've seen Ota's artwork in his Grendizer manga and I noticed that his works morely closely resembled the anime, not to mention a more noticable comedic slap. Anyway just check out Vol. 4-5, I'm more than positive that a few chapters of Ota's design were placed in. If they're not, I'd be dumbfounded; afterall they didn't show where the manga version of Venus A or Hell Castle came from. Since you saw both versions, just tell me what you think.
