Today’s spotlight is on an obscure side piece in my Samurai Pizza Cats archive — “Taose Karaoke Banchou!! – Tatsuya Souma Works Collection”.

This 162-page anthology, published by Bandai in 1992, gathers together multiple works by Souma — including a reprint of his official Kyattou Ninden Teyandee (Samurai Pizza Cats) manga.

If you already own Souma’s official SPC manga, the Teyandee material here is redundant — there’s nothing new for Pizza Cats, specifically.

The rest of the volume contains Souma’s other short works, several of which include nudity/adult humor. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone outside of serious Souma or SPC collectors, and DEFINITELY not for kids.

For under $20, it’s still a worthwhile curiosity to document — showing the breadth of Souma’s style at the time, and how his Teyandee stories sat alongside more mature parody/gag manga.
