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!

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.

In No Need For Tenchi #3, (Magical Girl Pretty Sammy aka MGPS) Tenchi and friends continue to offer great stories, with lots of humor and continued character development. If you like the other tenchi books, or just Sasami, you will LOVE this one. The experiences in MGPS range from meeting a ghost to Sasami's school play, and so much more. If you want to learn more about the plot, i suggest buying it--I don't want to give too much away! I have always known Tenchi to have great, funny, and touching stories that never let you get bored. Worth reading many times, Magical Girl Pretty Sammy would probably be my favorite No Need For Tenchi book. I reccomend this to readers of any age. Buy it now! IT's a must read!

This wonderful book is all about sasami and her friends! First we see that the whole gang go out on a picnic. Little does everyone know that there's a wolf lurking in the shadows. A new adventure starts as we see the wolf isn't so bad, but the hunters are! Then, a new character is introduced in the novel. She claims to have loved Tenchi in the past, but what is she hiding? Can Akyeka and Ryoko prove their love for Tenchi? This heartworming tale concludes when we see Magical Girl Pretty Sasami save her school in a cute plot based on the movie. This is a wonderful book that anybody can read and enjoy. I gave it 5 stars and highly recomend it!

It`s ok.It`s mostly like a fairy tale,with a bit of Tenchi Muyo.If you hate fairy tales,I suggest you don`t buy this book.(hee hee hee.....look @ Ryoko & Aeka fighting on the cover!)

For those of you who don't know who Tenchi is,You should start getting the scoop!This book may not be the first one, but it starts off a great three tales told on Earth.One of a poor wolf,another of a young love, and last the Magical Girl Pretty Sammy! Fans of Sasami will want to read this book,for it's practiclly all of that little Jurien Princess.I think it's a good book for drawing off of as well to freashin up on those "drawing Tenchi" skills! Anyway, I enjoyed it and for anyone who likes Tenchi, I think they will too!

this is great i love it i love it i love it

this has tons of great stories ending with the parody pretty sammy. i realy like it the first story is with sasami who saves a hurt wolf and then he saves here this si so great.

then my favorite. (the pretty sammy story is last)this second one is about a tenchi's 6 year old girl friend who moved away. this story puts the girls and especaly tenchi in a realy realy akward position. then washu finally figures out who she realy is and the mysterious girl tells washu her story (she was getting dinner and got hit by a car and is barley alive)and finds out that she is borrowing a angels body and is barley alive. so washu goes and tries to save her but ends up just buying her some time. then washu knocks ryoko and aeka out and hookos them up to a dream machine and tests how much they care about and love tenchi (ryoko gets t at least 20 times worst) and overal i think it is great

This is a good manga, easy to follow and well written, but if your not a die hard Sammy fan I wouldn't buy, I'd borrow it from a friend. Tenchi & Mihoshi have cameos as Sammy's brother and mother, and the other characters have brief parts. I'm still trying to figure out why Mihoshi is on the cover, she's only on like 5 pages...

The manga(Japanese word for 'comic book') is very comedical and entertaining!!! When ever I read it I feel like I'm watching the OAV's(Origial Animatied Video). It is a 'Must Read'!
