added an example of early installment weirdness
Added DiffLines:
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Whereas future adaptations, starting with the Toku show, featured [[TheKidWithTheRemoteControl Daisaku using a wristwatch-gadget to control the titular mech]], the original manga's run had him directly shouting commands either in-person or via radio.

None
Added DiffLines:
Following the conclusion of the manga's original storyline in Fall 1967, future issues were written as side stories to the concurrent Toku show. Whereas some were written by Yokoyama, many others were written by other artists.

''Giant Robo'' is a manga that ran in Magazine/ShonenSunday from 1967 to 1972. Created by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, who [[TropeMaker created the Mecha genre]] with ''[[{{Anime/Gigantor}} Tetsujin 28]]'' a decade earlier, Giant Robo ups the ante by pitting its mecha protagonist against a long-running antagonist.
The plot goes as such: when a secret terrorist organization named Big Fire (BF) schemes to conquer Earth, the United Nations aims to defeat them by dispatching a secret agent to stop them. However, when a college-aged Japanese tourist named Daisaku Kusama is mistaken for the agent and kidnapped by BF, the teenager discovers their SecretWeapon: a HumongousMecha named Giant Robo, or GR1. With their greatest weapon turned against them, Daisaku wields Giant Robo to counterattack Big Fire's remaining GR units.
A few decades (and a handful of [[Series/GiantRobo successful]] [[Anime/GiantRobo adaptations]]) later, Yasuhiro Imagawa , director of the Giant Robo OVA, scripted a new manga. Dubbed ''The Day The Earth Burned'', the manga started publication in 2006. While this version is an AlternateContinuity, it does act as a SpiritualSuccessor to the {{OVA}}s, with the same tone and many of the same characters. The original manga has also recently become available on most major manga websites.
