Kenn's Comment: This is a short little doujinshi of Pokemon Special (known as Pokemon Adventures here in North America), featuring Red and Yellow. This manga is based significantly more on the game than the anime is, and thus is a little bit more tolerable. Red's also a total bad ass, so much better than the wishy-washy-eternally-10 year old Satoshi (Ash) of the anime.

Anywho, the story is really quite cute and sweet. Sweet enough to give you cavities. I don't think you really need to know much about Pokemon Special to really enjoy this, as it's fairly independent of Special's story.

Pokemon Special is really good too. It's a bit different from the game and very different from the anime, but it's still really good. Fans of the games will enjoy it. I believe it's published in North America by VIZ. Those in Singapore can look for Chuang Yi for their fix of Pokemon Special.
