No Need for Tenchi!, Vol. 10: Mother Planet

Summary: This is just great...
Review: 'Comic books are bad for you' alot of people say, but after I looked at this in the store, I practically read the whole thing in 10 minutes! I loved it. It was hilarious, the drawings were beautiful, and you just can't wait for what's going to happen next. I watch the show on Cartoon Network, so I guess you best have some back-up information about the characters before you read these. This particular comic is *child-safe* I guess you can say. I'm probably going to buy this book next. I have to see the rest of the series!

Summary: "Mother planet" will rock your world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I checked this out from the library becauseI'm a big fan of Ayeka. even though Ryoko fans will be discouraged by the fact that Ayeka is on the cover, don't be!!!!!! it's great for a Tenchi Muyo fan of any kind!!!!! The story is mainly about the fact that Ayeka's and Sasami's mom and aunt come to visit and the chain of events they cause also in there is a story of a sea god and. ryo-ohki getting picked up accidentally by a group of kindergarteners on a field trip!!!!! it's a great Manga. I didn't want to put it down. Go on and Read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Hilarious
Review: I haven't read the book yet but the second part of it contains Misaki, mother of Ayeka and Sasami coming to Earth! It also explains why Ayeka doesn't look like Misaki and Sasami. Ayeka and a bunch of monkeys! ;) This is worth your money but it's just hilarious. The art is great!

Summary: Nothing like the anime
Review: I'd recommend this book for any good tenchi muyo fan. The artwork is different from any style that I've seen and can be very beautiful at times. The humor can also be very cute.
However, I've rated the book lower because the plots bore me sometimes. The book, Mother Planet, seems to pull out problems from the middle of nowhere just to keep the plot going on. And, as far I can remember about this book, there wasn't any real point to the bad guy even showing up since they aren't very strong... or smart. Also, while I love to read shoujo manga sometimes, the "cuteness" can be really annoying... especially with Sasami. Ryoko is also a tad bit OOC, and in my personal opinion, a weaker character than in the anime. Dispite this, though, I'd still buy the tenchi series. This is a good series, even though it lacks some of the magic that the Tenchi Muyo anime did.
One other note is that this series is a relatively safe series. Any nudity they have follows the "barbie nudity" that the anime had. There are a FEW sexual jokes in there, but nothing that a 12 or 13 year old hasn't heard at school. All in all, the "No Need for Tenchi" series is cute, and beautifully done... just don't expect it to be like the anime it follows after.
