Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Manga-nificent Tale
Review: Tokyo SuckerPunch Is a fast-paced and somewhat disjointed tale of Billy Chaka , American Reporter for an American-made Japanese Magazine Called "Youth In Asia". In Tokyo to cover a martial arts tournament. Chaka who seems more at home in Japan than America Is a laid back but intellegent Portagonist who falls for a mysterious woman who seems linked to the death of his friend a B-Movie director who was writing a movie based on Chaka's life called "Tokyo Suckerpunch". With the plot involving ancinet religious orders, the japanese Yakuza, and ancient mystical beings. Adamson Book reads like your typical Japanese Manga with a little pulp novel thrown in for flavor. The story seems to lose it's place and rushes to catch up. Some of the characters never seem to be more than window dressing or a rest stop onto the next plot point. The one character I wanted to know more about was his assistant who seemed a little more interesting than Fan-boy Chaka. TP is a great start to the character of Chaka and I hope Adamson grows him and his assiatant a little more.
