Okuda, Hitoshi Okuda and Burke, Fred. All New Tenchi Muyo! Pet Peeves (vol 6). San Fransisco : Viz, LLC, 2005.
Plot: The classic story of rivalry and love between a boy...and three aliens. While the concept is interesting in itself, this volume introduces a new twist. After foiling the plans of a poacher, Tenchi and company find themselves caring for a cute, wide-eyed, dragon-like creature known as a miitsu. The little blue miitsu quickly gains the favor of the household. However, she also contains the capacity to become a threat, not only to the protagonists, but the entire alien civilization. Two brief additional stories parody the common manga themes of the daily life of a schoolgirl and the similar-different future.
Genre: Science Ficition, Romance, Humor, Manga, Graphic Novel
Reading Level: Rated Teen for violence and sexual innuendo
Similar Titles: Ah! My Goddess, Ranma 1/2, Case Closed
Personal Thoughts: A solid, goofy science fiction manga. The series is a bit like a Japanese version of Scooby Doo, lasting several generations in many different incarnations and spin-offs. Like Scooby, though, the basic premises remains the same despite the recreations: focusing on the bizarre love triangle Tenchi finds himself almost constantly in.
