The Age of the Flying Boat

飛行艇時代

In the 1920s over the Adriatic Sea, air pirates in floatplanes plague the waters, attacking ships, robbing money, and kidnapping girls. Enter Porco Rosso, a bounty hunter who flies a red floatplane and is the best in the business. He is a cool guy whom women love, but there is one particular thing about him: he is a pig.

This all-watercolor manga, originally serialized in three parts, reflects its creator's love for old aircraft, filled with heavily modified planes from the 1920s and technical details about them. The story follows Porco as he takes on the pirates, with a lighter and sillier tone than later adaptations. While the rise of fascism and the sentiment against it are mentioned, the focus is on the good-hearted men who love these flying machines and the adventures they share.
