Revision as of 15:30, 15 November 2019
Adventure Hero's Books (アドベンチャーヒーローブックス) was a series of young adult books based on popular video games, television shows, and anime. The books were published by Keibunsha from 1985-1988 exclusively in Japan. Different formats were used for different books, including standard comicsmangas (called コミック版 [komikku ban], "comic version"), puzzle books, and branching-plot game books.
Like with many Japanese books aimed at children and early teens, the content sometimes goes beyond what American censors would allow including swearing and partial-nudity.
I first learned about this series after stumbling across book number 31, an Ultima book. After that, I searched online and found out that it was part of an entire series. Much like Wanpakku Comics, I really wish these would have been published in the US, because I would have been all over them in the 80s.
