[Doc · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reading this book brought me back to a time when I first started watching anime and the only stuff available was on a single shelf at the video store(Anyone remember those.)The humor from the original anime was captured fantastically as the rivalry between A-ko and B-ko comes to life in this fast paced beat 'em up book.

With all that said best part in my opinion was not the spaceships, mechs, aliens, super powered high school girls, or the humor that seeps in even in the narration but toward the end when I see A-ko's parents who look nothing like the rest of the characters in the book. Let's just say they are definitely a spoof of a certain comic company many of us know. ;)
