Timer: The Best Life There is! (タイマーは：ベストライフそこにある！) is an fictional, ongoing manga in the Super Monkey graphic novel series created by the author Rune. It was planned and announced for release on the internet by June 10th, 2010, and the first 18-page chapter was uploaded for viewing on July 2. The story will be broken into three different parts; the first being the longest, and the last being the shortest. Each part will bear its own title, and rumor has it from Rune that the words will spell a final word once jumbled together. The manga follows a young child named Johnathon Yamamoto who resembles and occasionally acts like a sixteen year old human who was killed with his parents on a bridge that was exploded by a terrorist. He was revived by a death god who was crushed under a pillar and requested his help, explaining to him that he would age the child by eight years and give him some of his own raw power so he could help the immortal god. Johnathon uses the fact that he was brought back from the dead to believe that he is different from others and is determined to live 'a life with no regrets', which often times leads him into trouble. The manga is a digital work and each chapter is updated every two weeks or so with about 18 pages per chapter. The manga hasn't been officially published and sold in stores, but it can be viewed for free on the internet. It can be read at http://tricksterrune.deviantart.com/ The original comics before Timer included: Super Monkey, Super Monkey Returns, Super Monkey X, The Next Generation, and New S. Monkey. These were all scrapped early on. For the idea of Timer, these stories and other previous ones where blended together with characters from each story appearing in the final product. Rune hopes that Timer and its three parts will be the final product she'll be working on, prior to her early work starting in late 2004, she hoped the whole series could have ended by mid 2009. Rune plans for the Timer manga to be finished by its 30th volume or even earlier, consisting of less then a third of the original characters and over 30 new ones. She hopes that fans will be as accepting to her new manga as they were to the old ones.
