Xros Wars was already my favorite anime in the series, but the manga is even more epic than I expected. Kudou Taiki, a guy who can't stand not helping others out, hears Shoutmon's dying melody and decides to help him. Thus he gets the Xros Loader and sets foot on the Digital World along with his friends Akari and Zenjirou. Once he helps Shoutmon out he discovers about the Xros Wars and the Legend of the Generals, people who would have the power of DigiXros. The world is in a collapsing state, having been divided in zones due to a major war between the BagraArmy (the villains) and the Royal Knights. Also, unlike previous Digimon series, evolution is a lost art that no digimon knows about in Xros Wars. There are many differences between the anime and manga. For instance, unlike the anime series of same name, Bagramon's past is really well explained in Xros Wars manga. Also, one of its most appealing factors is the fact that it deals with materials that make reference to Digimon Adventure, 02, Tamers, Frontier, Savers, Xros Wars Hunter, the Wonderswan games based on the Legendary Tamer and more. Even though all the Digimon mangas are superb, I'd call this one the definite Digimon manga (for now, at least). If you are a fan of the anime and really loved the previous anime series as well, you'll certainly enjoy this manga.
It starts off with Taiki having a dream about leading a Digimon army with himself as its "General" against one consisting of several Mammon, Rhinomon and Valvemon. He then Digixroses Shoutmon, Balistamon and Dorulumon into Shoutmon x4 who effortlessly takes out most of the oppossing army. Oversleeping, Akari wakes him up with a "move" she calls "Akari Strike". After being encountered by Zenjirou, Taiki suddenly hears a melody from out of nowhere with Shoutmon crying out. Taiki starts searching for the source of the voice in order to save him. Chasing after him, Akari and Zenjirou witness a car about to fall on top of Taiki, but he narrowly escapes its path thanks to Shoutmon's warning. Suddenly, the buildings and surrounding space begins to distort, causing electronic disturbances. Afterward, Taiki discovers a light along with a melody, then a mysterious voice says "do you want to save this melody?" and a Xros Loader appears. After following further instructions from the same voice, and once the melody is absorbed by the Xros Loader, Taiki, Akari and Zenjirou fall into a wormhole-like digital space which emerges on the ground, transporting them to the Digital World. Once there, they are in the middle of the Bagura Army, the same army Taiki saw in his dream, lead by Mach Leomon.
