OK! Cough it up! How many of you sons of silly people enjoy Hard Gay? And what about Borat? Well, Hentai Kamen can only be described as what would happen if those two ever met up and had a justice-loving, fishnet stocking-wearing son. First off, the story. The idea behind UHK is mostly a (perverted) parody of the Kamen Hero types, so the writer pulled together a laid-back story that is entertaining, hilarious and a genuinly fun read. The one-shot story base for the series still is able to hold up a story-line, through the basic techniques of character introductions on the right moment, and recyclingof villans; There's a loose timeline, but one nonetheless, just like in classics like Ranma 1/2. Stereotypes? Yes! As I said, this is a parody, and these sterotypes get played on, but fortunatly, not so much as to make the characters too stale or predictable, and a good few of them can really stick to the reader. Needless to say, Hentai Kamen leaves quite the aftertaste, and is quite a memorable hero. The timing on the puns is perfectly coordinated, and most of the chapters will have you laughing your head off at a regular schedule, specially when Hentai Kamen lands a killing blow (or a pun on his, how to say, weapon of mass justice).

The art is exactly as comedy manga should have it (at least in my opinion), simple designs with a bit of a early 90's feel to them, always clean and clear, and the author has proven on several times that he can also make a few good action scenes, and draw muscular characters quite well. The art helps keep your attention on the situation, neither so intricate that it overwhelms the situation, neither so simple as to detract from it, and carries a whole simple charm to it. All in all, it's kind of a cross between early Rumiko Takahashi and Akira Toryama.

Maybe the series should have been longer, maybe it's just the right size, but overall, this is a good series to shut your brain down, relax and enjoy. Good, plain, fun.
