Fortunately, Mega Red doesn’t need to wear a diaper!

Okay, enough of the nonsense. You’re undoubtedly familiar with the saying about not judging a book by its cover, but in this case, you can get a lot of information about this book from its back cover. You can readily see, for example, that Mega Red, like its predecessors, is, or Red Book.
