Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great First Installment of the New Series!
Review: "Alien Nation" is the first book of the "All New Tenchi Muyo Series" - and it's a great way to start off. Each character is explained quite thoroughly meaning new readers can enjoy this one too.
This includes several mini-stories: one about Ryoko, Ayeka, Sasami, Mihoshi, Washu and Ryo-Oki, in other words - everyone except Tenchi!
This book is rated "Teen" reading, as with all the other Tenchi books, however the content seems milder than maybe some of the other content in later volumes.
This contains several mild swear words (the "c" one) and one use of the moderate swear world (the long "b" one) and quite a bit of graphic violence.
I think giving this to Middle School Children (11 and over) would be a safe bet. Anyone under 9, parents may want to review the content. I think with this volume, 9 and up is the age rating. However harsher ratings I'd give to maybe some future volumes.
This book is great, however until Book 2, no real plot is introduced. This is mainly a book with mini-stories to get used to the personality of the characters. If you have seen Tenchi Muyo OVA/Tenchi Universe - you don't HAVE to get this book.

Readability: High for new readers, moderate for familiar readers
Rating: 10 and over - contains swearing and graphic violence

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The all new tenchi muyo
Review: Book 1 of the All-new Tenchi Muyo series delivers all the humor and fun you would expect from the previous No Need for Tenchi manga series. Hitoshi Okuda even offers a quick review of the main characters for any new readers. Much like the former No Need for Tenchi series, Book 1 is set up in seven short stories that display the wackiness of the characters as they attempt to tolerate each other (and set up a date with Tenchi.) The only complaint I have with this book ("Alien Nation") is that no major story arc is set up. While this is not always a negative thing, I did expect to see the development of a multi-chaptered storyline that would lead into the next book. Overall, however, I suggest to any Tenchi (or comedic manga) fan to check out Okuda's All New Tenchi Muyo series because both the animes and the former manga series all delivered.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I'm about halfway through the book and I must say it is just as good as the anime. If you like The series you'll like the book.Although I wish they would print it so you read it right to left.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tenchi, Love gone wronge
Review: Tenchi Fans, you know what tenchi is like, well, it now is put into a new spiral of crazyiness. a brief "who's who" at the beg. and you can see even more sides to Ryoko. i have all the 12 ornginal series and this book. I am a super Otaku, Anime is my life. Tenchi = Fun, laughs, and confusion. one of the best yet! Prepare for an awsome ride of laughs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful!!!
Review: This book would have to be one of the best Hitoshi has made so far. It has a lot more humor in it than the other series and the art work is wonderful. Aeyka gets a date with Tench!!!!! I highly recomend this book for those fellow Tenchi Muyo fanatics out there or for people just wanting a good laugh! This is definately a book you can read over and over again. And, in conclusion, I shall quote the back of the book and say:"Welcome to the Alien Nation!"
