Background

Two different versions of were published simultaneously in Shounen Sunday and Shougaku Gonensei; both versions were compiled into one combined volume release, with the first chapter of both versions being merged together (later editions include both separately). While initially based on the contents of the TV show, in August 1975, both versions changed into a gag comedy following five children pretending to be the Gorenger, under the title (ひみつ戦隊新ゴレンジャーごっこ) in Shounen Sunday, and (ひみつ戦隊ゴレンジャーごっこ) in Shougaku Gonensei. The series was published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment under the title in a single volume on April 20, 2021. The Seven Seas Entertainment release only includes the original run of the Shounen Sunday and Shougaku Gonensei versions of the series, and does not include either version of the series.
