VIZ GRAPHIC NOVEL
NO NEED FOR TENCHI!
Science fiction comedy based on the anime series from Pioneer, as seen on the Cartoon Network! It all started when high school student Tenchi freed the alien pirate Ryoko from her captivity on Earth. Soon enough, her friends and enemies showed up: alien princess Ayeka, mad scientist Washu, ditzy space cop Mihoshi... Surrounded by beautiful, feuding alien women, poor Tenchi is either the luckiest or the most miserable boy on Earth!
NOW I'LL SHOW YOU MY TRUE POWER
Just when they thought they had undone her brainwashing, Ayeka pulls a Patty Hearst and flees back into the hands of Prince Garyu, taking Sasami with her! Now the Tenchi household must follow Garyu into hyperspace to the planet Oku-II, to rescue the two princesses and save Earth from shockwaves of destruction! But why has Garyu chosen Ayeka? And why must Ayeka kill Tenchi? Surprises, sacrifices and a terrible battle await our heroes in the climax of No Need for Tenchi! - and if that sounds too serious, there's two bonus stories, including one about Sasami's hiccups.
"The all-original plot lines run loosely from the OAV series, and Hitoshi Okuda has easily continued the tradition, if not improved upon it. The character interaction is lively as always, the humor is ever-present in some form but avoids running too wild, and the action is well portrayed and easy to follow. It's no wonder it's still hard to stop Tenchi Muyô! after all these years if it continues to be this fun and interesting."
