The Government got surprised as their effort to eliminate the Viral Manithargal (finger sized men) with the help of Canons and Fire Fighters. In this situation Prime Minister received a secret letter in that it is mentioned as follows: Dear Prime Minister, except me the creator of the Viral Manithargal, no one can destroy my creations and do not waste your time.




If you wish to get rid of this stressing situation and avoid the war of Viral Manithargal, put Rs. 10 Crore worth golden bridges into the flight landing in Palam Airport at 10 AM, Wednesday.




If you try to block the flight over the air, not only Tamil Nadu, all over India, the Viral Manithargal (finger sized men) will spread and the consequences will be very dangerous. WARNING!!!! - Ranjan Bose (It is written like this).










High level Govt officers gathered in meeting to discuss whether they will be able to supply the demanded golden bridges and they have finalized to give. At the same time, a senior officer handing over this case to Minnal Mayaavi to capture the dangerous Ranjan Bose.





Sedang, a space shuttle moving around the earth. Minnal Mayaavi disappeared his body with the help of Samrang, an astronaut in Sedang Space shuttle. Minnal Mayaavi travelled in the flight which carrying Golden platforms to meet the enemy face-to-face, which means meeting the lion in its cave where the deceased man claiming that his fore father are from the royal families and he is the blood of this royal kings. He is trying to restore the lost respect of their fore fathers and want become as a great king of India. He also claimed the he has done a research for 30 years day  night and day created “ViralManithargal”, the 10 crore ransom golden platforms are just for the test only.





He claimed that he will win over and rule the whole world with the help of Viral Manaithargal without any bloodshed but with peaceful revolution. He caught the violent Mayaavi, laid him on the “Minnal Kathir” table and applied Minnal rays on Mayaavi.





Unfortunately, the deceased does not know that Mayaavi’s body will disappear if Minnal rays touch him. Scientist Ranjan Bose saw this and said, there is a mistake in formula but that also turned for good only as it melted the complete body. He claimed that it is a success and it will be useful to eliminate the enemy in disappearance itself. When he saw Mayaavi’s fingers only moving, he was afraid and ran. On his way he took an idle and thrown on Mayaavi but it hit the equipment controlling the Viral Manithargal (finger sized men) and it got exploded. Due to this, Viral Manithargal (finger sized men) fallen on the streets like debris. He took a lorry to escape and Mayaavi took a motor bike to chase him. In this Ranja bose dashed the tree and lost his life.


Mullai Thangarasan’s intelligent brain give extra ordinary shining to the dialogues. Page by page, it creates the interest. Moreover from page 36 to page 42. The dialogues between Ranjan Bose and Minnal Mayaavi are very interesting.


As for as this comics is concerned, the hero isArtist Chellam”. Movement of Viral Manithargal, reactions of Ranjan Bose and Minnal Mayaavi and the great palace of Ranjan Bose and its background are examples of his imaginative power and his talent in Art.


This is comics was being written and art like and equivalent to FLEET WAY comics stories. If these comics would have published in English when published it would have received the great attraction and support from all over the world readers and fans of comics.


Writing skilled Mullai Thangarasan and great artist Chellam would have born abroad they would have become the presidents of Island if “Muthufan” to say.
