Manga Review (Volume 1)
Is it Dragon Ball Z? No.

Is there a story? It's a series of stories, most of them involving a Girl In Trouble.

Is it ridiculous? Yes.

Is it fun? It got repetitive after a while, to be honest.

Why is it marked for ages 18+? Lots of nudity and sex. Plus some gory violence.

How's the art? The artwork's pretty stiff, in my opinion.

Can I show it to my Mom? NO.

Can I show it to my kid brother? NO.

Can I show it to a non-manga fan? This may appeal more to an American comics fan, as it feels like a cheesy 80's American action movie.

How's the dialogue? Fine, but pretty cheeseball.

Does it have any memorable moments? None that I can remember.

Availability: All three volumes were released by ComicsOne in 2001. Broadly available online as used copies.
