End of the first big story arc and it puts the climax in climactic finale! The deadly N.O.B. has been decimated. Old man Tondemon squared off against his former protégé Mukoda Kuniko who’s sworn to kill him! But when push comes to shove (and it always does in this battling manga) she might turn all that vengeful rage onto one of his students – the crown princess of ditz Tamako! Bigger fan service, all out brawls! It’s a guy’s dream come true! It’s a hilarious intense action manga with a dirty sense of humor that knows no bounds! Fan service every where and mucho marital arts mayhem! It goes overboard and I love each moment of excess! Speaking of fan service and excess, there’s some girl on girl action of the double entendre kind when Shiba Ryotaro has naughty dreams and lesbian desires towards Tamako. She’s her first crush. Isn’t that hot (I mean cute). They have a fight of a sauna kind (towels optional) and the Swan Academy Wrestling Club might be getting an all new member. But the fun doesn’t stop there. We get an all out background story about captain Taki, the she-male and how he became the formidable transgender guy/girl we all admire. Then there’s insane violent fun when the club goes to rescue the vice-captain when she’s under forcible house arrest in a booby-trapped mansion. After that, the club puts in their all to save their favorite beef bowl shack from going under. And the manga series ends with one crazy-assed ghost story that only Tamako would ever stumble into! It’s all kinds of laughs, drools, and adrenaline for a big send off for this fun manga served up with ample fan fun all around!
IN SUMMARY:
A final battle, a major crush, an origin revealed, and beef bowl shops and ghosts are saved all in the jam-packed fan service action filled final volume of Battle Club! |
