Telefang manga
Besides the video games, Kodansha also commissioned a manga series to be made for Telefang.
Telefang 1[edit]
The Telefang 1 manga, by Kozue Kino, was serialized in Comic BomBom from March 2000 to July 2001. It was later released in 3 volumes, which are still available secondhand from online stores such as Yahoo! Japan Auctions and Amazon Japan. It was never officially released in English.
Plot summary[edit]
The baseball-loving kid Shigeki finds a phone up in a tree, which briefly transports him into the world of the Denjuu. The Denjuu World is supposed to be off-limits to grade-schoolers. Bewildered, Shigeki tells his classmates about what happened, but only his friend Matsukiyo believes him. They decide to test out whether the phone would really take them to the Denjuu World. After they're both transported there, they meet with Crypto, the Elder and many other Denjuu, and so, their adventure begins.
