Customer Reviews

"No Need for Endings" is not the end of Tenchi! Whew!

No doubt about it...I love Tenchi! And I have really enjoyed the "No Need for Tenchi" series by Hitoshi Okuda. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Vol. 12 is the last of the "No Need for Tenchi" series. I was very sad to think that I wasn't going to be able to get a fresh Tenchi fix anymore! I have enjoyed the continuing adventures of Tenchi in this series so much that, as Ryoko says on the final page of the final story, "I can't imagine living apart from Tenchi...from everyone...anymore...."Then I discovered that Hitoshi Okuda has embarked upon a NEW comic series featuring Tenchi and company. Now I'm anxiously awaiting the next issue of "The All-New Tenchi Muyo!" Yippee!So get volume 12 of this great series, and enjoy -- there really is no need for endings!

Action and Humor

Contains 7 chapters. The first 5 complete the storyline began in book 1. Tenchi has been challenged to a duel, the prize? Ayeka's life! And what is the secret behind Minagi (Ryoko's Twin)?.....Chapter 6 Tenchi's Ill, but with nurses like these will he ever get better?.....Chapter 7 Oh My God! Mihoshi driving a CAR!

Tenchi in Manga is wonderful!

I fell in love with the anime series and thought the manga would be a big rehash of the plot, but it's not!! The story is original, the art is even cooler than the animation sometimes, and it's great to get in the graphic novel form!

WOAH Jeez Bathtime Fun ~_~

Ryoko was as horny and as funny as ever. ^-^ The cabbits were still cute and kawaii =^) :^) It shows nudity but only for a page or two. This is a good book.

If you like Tenchi Muyo, you're SURE to love this book

The quality of this Manga is amazing--the art, the inking, everything-- and it helps that Tenchi Muyo is the best Anime/Manga ever. The only problem I had with it was a few annoying translations like having the Wings of the Lighthawk be the Lightning Eagle Wings... it even calls them Lighthawk Wings on the back.... but thats certainly no big deal.
