Development: 5</B></div> <div> Not much really, but there is development for the new characters introduced.  </div> <bR> <div> <B>Sexuality: 5</B></div> <div> Well now, there is some mature themes (I guess I have to say that, just to be sure) and small amounts of nudity.  Nothing detailed.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Romance: 5</B></div> <div> Not as much as the series.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Drama: 7</B></div> <div> Some really good dramatic poitns and kickassedness.  </div> <bR> <div> <B>Action: 6</B></div> <div> All the great action and mayhem you might've liked from the anime series.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Comedy: 10</B></div> <div> Laughs at almost every corner.  More like every side, but not quite every corner.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Like I said, this is an add-on, not an alternative.  However, this means you would want to watch the anime before reading the manga.  Either way, it's still fun.  The stories here happen during a sort of calming time, so the whole gang isn't really pushing toward anything when they aren't involved with any of the main stories.  </div> <bR> <div> About those stories...  The first big story features Minagi, a being that serves Yakage, a master swordsman, and looks a lot like Ryoko.  After a fight with Ryoko, Minagi loses her memory and lives with everyone until Yakage comes down there himself! There are also plenty of entertaining shorter stories like Sasami saving a wolf, Tenchi's old childhood girlfriend visiting out of nowhere, Washu's intergalactic phone, and more.  Sure I could name them all, but I would have to read all of the graphic novels to give you that info.</div> <bR> <div> So what are you waiting for?  If you can't find them, try your library.  If that won't work, then search the 'net.  Might I suggest www.animenation.com ?</div> <bR> <div> Well, enough of that.</div> <bR> <div> <I>Call it a comic one more time and we know what's for dinner!</I></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
