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!
RYOKO'S SHOCKING SECRET
After a slightly-too-big party, the Tenchi household wakes to face one of the most dreaded events in the universe... they're broke! Following a strange dream and a buried memory, Ryoko leads the group into space in search of a lost treasure... only to find their potential source of revenue is guarded by the man she loved before Tenchi? With a villainous space pirate and a "chu"-squeaking robot pursuing them, Ryoko must decide whether to trust her love for Tenchi or face up to her relationship with Ibara... a love lost 800 years in the past....
"Fun, weird, and crazy... art and layouts are crystal-clear, and Okuda is adept at both the funny stuff and the drama. I'd never seen the cartoon of the comics before, and I had no trouble following along or getting hooked into rooting for the characters. At its core, this is both a love story and an outerspace adventure and handles both with equal aplomb; it's fun reading."
