R to L (Japanese Style)

Yoshio Sawai pushes the bounds of satire and the medium of manga itself with Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. Irreverent, silly and unpredictable--Bo-bobo is pure comic genius.In the year 300X, the cruel Emperor Tsuru Tsururina has mandated the hunting of all hair in the Maruhage Empire. But a single man rises to the occasion and takes a stand against this violation of human hair rights. Bo-bobo, master of Fist of the Nose Hair, uses the prehensile hairs of his shnoz to most lethal ends. Follow the nonsensical adventures of Bo-bobo and his sentient sidekick snacks as they lead their hilarious rebellion against the Empire.

Bo-BoBo and his "hair-em" are going all out against the hair haters that are trying to cut, trim, snip, shave, buzz and otherwise mess with our heroes. Prepare to have your mind bent, curled, kinked, permed, crimped and teased by this new volume.

I bought this for my daughter, she is a tween. She loves this! So do I! This book is great fun for anyone! Lots of times you can pre-order a book before it is actually available for sale. Watch the fine print for this. I bought this as a birthday gift for her last year, and it wasn't available when they said it would be, so we got it late. No big deal. Who doesn't like getting cool books for no apparent reason? Just keep in mind you may not get a pre-order book at the projected time.

My family and I love Bo-BoBo. We were bummed when they canceled the show here in the US. This brings us a bit closer. We have actually purchased all three books that are available. I love his wacky humor and Don Patch is the bomb. Sometimes he is a bomb... :)
