A Kid's Review

This review is from: No Need For Tenchi vol. 3: Magical Girl Pretty Sammy (Paperback)

I REALLY love this book, but I have to admit, this is definatly for older kids. There is profanity when something bad happens, and some nudity. If you LOVE LOVE LOVE the series and adore comics, buy this. You'll love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mahou Shoujo Puritei Sami-, October 27, 2001

This review is from: No Need For Tenchi vol. 3: Magical Girl Pretty Sammy (Paperback)

It starts as a Tenchi Muyo! story, a couple of tough ones and for a little diversion Hitoshi Okuda trys his hand at Pretty Samy. It's a good little story with a seemingly impossible ending.But that is what Magical Girl stories are all about.
How would you like it if your little sister had magic?
This manga was published in Japan around the 1st of Sept.1995.Around the time of the last episodes of the Tenchi Muyo! OVA 2,Tenchi Muyo! TV (Tenchi Universe) and the time when they were making the Pretty Sammy OVA and thinking about the TV series.(Here in the US, Pioneer named it Magical Project S.)
The first story is about SASAMI saving a wolf, then it gets interesting.(Kind of reminds me of the new story by CLAMP Shirahime-Shyo.) The next story is about an old love of Tenchi's and the power of Tsunami among other things. (Her name translates into "famous harbor of enchantment,more or less. The tidal-wave Tsunami has diferent Kanji.)
By the time you get done with the first two stories you need something lighter.
This is a pretty (no pun) good book. I have both versions (US & Japan) VIZ did an ok job of flipping and translating the manga. Some time they can do a really (...) job. Ranma 1/2 #1, it looks terrible.)THis time it worked.
Buy IT!!!!

This manga combines humor and drama to form an excellent storyline. If you only plan on buying one book in the series, I would strongly recomend this one.
