Manga/Graphic Novels Starting With 'U'

This is it, Muscleheads. That's right: we've coined a new term for those of us whose passion for Ultimate Muscle has carried us all the way to volume 29 of the interplanetary superhuman wrestling epic. We are the few, the proud, the Muscleheads. And now it's time to hope that Kid Muscle can, against all odds, make us proud.

Kid Muscle, referee? Even though his teammates don't trust him any further than they can throw him (which, admittedly, is pretty far), the Kid finds himself refereeing a brutal match between Terry Kenyon, top-ranked wrestler for the side of Good, and Tyrannoclaw, who is exactly as evil as his name suggests. As for Kid Muscle's own battles, he's less interested in saving the Earth than he is in beefing up his ratings in the fan polls.

Kid Muscle and his teammates have survived battles with some of the nastiest superpowered scum in the galaxy, but they're about to face their most terrifying opponents yet: Generation Ex. The Gen Ex wrestlers have superior power and all the moves, and they're hell-bent on forcing Kid Muscle and friends into early retirement. Who are they? The latest graduates from the Muscle League's own Hercules Factory!

When Generation Ex challenged Kid Muscle and his friends, things got real personal, real fast. Now Kid Muscle is the last member of his team still fighting, and three Generation Ex wrestlers stand between him and victory. If the Kid can't defeat this terrible trio, he'll be handed a one-way ticket off the planet Earth... if Generation Ex lets him leave the ring alive!

Does Kid Muscle look a little pale in this volume? A mite wan? A wee bit - dare we say it - terrified? If he's sweating buckets under that ubiquitous mask, there's a reason, and it ain't to be found in the ring. Kid Muscle will never know peace again... because he's got a girlfriend!

Being an heiress isn't all glamour and luxury! Politics and betrayal go hand-in-hand as Yuzu learns more about the rival families and those who would do her harm. Friends turn to enemies as loyalties shift, and Yuzu finds herself in the middle of a dangerous game.

Yuzu may have finally realized her feelings, but newfound love won't help her much in the face of a political marriage! Despite the fact that she hasn't even met the groom, Yuzu is suddenly caught up in elaborate preparations for a ceremony... but how can she plan the perfect wedding when she can't have her perfect love?

High above Farmless City, citizens are stunned by the sudden appearance of two floating figures. Are they human boys, monolithic robots, or something much more strange? As the battle ensues between them, destruction and devastation falls on the hapless city. One figure is Vice, and seems to be as evil as his name implies. The other is Ultimo, intent on trying to stop Vice from wreaking more havoc.

Things just keep getting more complicated for Yamato since Ultimo showed up. Now Yamato and Ultimo must face new doji and deal with people whose intentions aren't always so clear. Can Yamato find the strength to meet these challenges and solve the mysteries of the Karakuri Doji?

Yamato's best friend Rune is now a doji master to the envious trickster Jealousy, but why is Rune using Jealousy to attack Yamato and Ultimo? The answer lies deep in the past and will shock everyone - even Rune! Plus, meet Murayama, a warrior with a prophecy that could spell some serious trouble for the entire world.

Yamato wakes up again on the 21st century day that he first encountered Ultimo, and soon learns that he was sent back in time and it's up to him to prevent total world annihilation. But does he really have the ability to stop the apocalypse - and save Ultimo! - in just 24 hours? On a breakneck tour to meet up with all the doji, Yamato gets into a skirmish with Iruma and Jealousy and must again go back (way back) in time to make things right...

Returning from his time travels, Yamato lands back on the day before the Hundred Machine Funeral. Will his newfound knowledge about Iruma help him divert the inevitable, or will it only help him mess things up more? In a fierce continuation of the battle that started Yamato's first time around, both Maruyama and Yamato are injured. Sensing weakness, Vice takes things into his own hands...
