These ladies would fit right in with NYPD Blue's cast

Natsumi and Miyuki are a pair of cops with one of the Tokyo precincts. They have to deal with the strangest (and funniest)cases, from hi-tech perverts to a guy who blows up Christmas trees to a trick or treating con artist. They always solve their cases, but often get a headache while doing so.You're Under Arrest! was one of Fujishima's earliest works. The art is beautiful, but nowhere near the standard (or style) that it is now. Did you know that part of the idea for Oh My Goddess! came from YUA? Fujishima did a four panel gag cartoon of the police pair praying to a goddess, and thus was Belldandy born. Interesting bit of trivia for ya.So, if you are a serious collector of manga (like me), I suggest you get this book, since it is a classic. And even if you don't go for series like Oh My Goddess, at least try YUA. I reccommend both to you, but YUA is a bit more realistic (obviously).So, stop listening to me prattle and go find YUA: The Wild Ones!

Before the goddesses, there was Natsumi and Miyuki

Kosuke Fujishima has always known how to draw pretty girls. There's no doubt about that. "You're Under Arrest" was Fujishima's manga series before he started "Oh My Goddess," but you couldn't tell it from the artwork alone -- he's a meticulous artist and always so clear with the layouts. The only thing that clues you in to Fujishima's pre-Goddess style is that some of his stories end a little too abruptly in YUA; there's also less depth in the character design. Sometimes you could switch Natsumi with Miyuki with each other and no-one would be the wiser. However, it's still a delightful crime-fighting trip through Tokyo in the unique Fujishima style. Comedy, action, and awesome artwork should all be reasons enough to buy "You're Under Arrest."

This book is Sooooo cool!

This book is so cool! I watch the series regularly but I'd never think that the manga would be THIS good!

That is a hoot 'n' a holler.

Without question the weirdest cop comic ever. Not since Uncle Buck has a golf swing been so lethal. And Aoi's secret is just too stunning. Check this out!
