VIZ GRAPHIC NOVEL

THE GANG'S ALL HERE!

All your favorite characters from Pioneer LDCA's hit comedy anime series NO NEED FOR TENCHI! have squeezed into this volume!

The hilarious TENCHI graphic novel picks up where the first six animation episodes left off. The trouble and fun began when high school student Tenchi inadvertantly released the legendary demon Ryoko from his grandfather's shrine. Turned out Ryoko was actually a marooned space pirate! Since she has become Tenchi's unwanted house guest, she has made it her duty to tease the hapless youth whenever possible. And soon other alien women came to plague Tenchi: Ayeka, an alien princess; Sasami, her mischievious sister; and Washu, Ryoko's mad scientist "mother." Not to mention Ryo-Oh-Ki, that adorable little spaceship who looks like a cross between a cat and a rabbit.

Since their epic battle with Kagato, things haven't quieted down in the least. Now Tenchi's troubles double - in the form of Minagi, a dead ringer for Ryoko, who attacks out hapless friends and then conveniently develops amnesia. Turns out she's just a pawn of alien warrior Yakage, who arrives soon after in hopes of stealing Tenchi's miraculous sword and kidnapping beautiful princess Ayeka!

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
