Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoiyo!! Masaru-san

Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san (セクシーコマンドー外伝 すごいよ!!マサルさん, Sekushī Komandō Gaiden: Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san?, lit. Sexy Commando Side Story: That's Amazing!! Masaru-san) is a Japanese manga turned anime that enjoys a large cult following in Japan.

It was the first series written by Kyosuke Usuta, and was one of the first "gag/nonsense" manga which have become popular in the recent decade in Japanese publications. The manga (79 stories in total) appeared in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1995 to 1997. In 1998, It was turned into an animation by the Japanese network TBS and ran 48, 7 minute episodes as part of the television show block "Wonderful." The anime follows the first 48 chapters of the manga nearly word for word, for the dialogue used in the series and the scenes drawn were lifted directly from the manga panels. The anime and manga are all but unknown outside Japan, mostly because the humor of the series relies heavily on the Japanese language and knowledge of the culture. It has a unique brand of humor that is very Japanese, but it does have fans in other countries as well, despite the culture barrier.

Neither the anime nor the manga have been licensed for distribution in the United States.
