Product Description
Book Description
Today the city, tomorrow the World! That's the plan of Il Palazzo, the haughty, pretty-boy leader of ACROSS, a secret society based somewhere deep beneath the streets and sewers of Fukuoka, Japan. After setting up house in a cheap apartment, Il Palazzo explains that the budget for world conquest and the budget for room and board must regrettably be kept separate. Their neighbors are a trio of regular guys, whom they hope will overlook the curious comings and goings — not to mention the screams, struggles, and gasoline explosions.

This review is from: Excel Saga Vol 1 (Paperback)
I have seen the entire Excel Saga television series and it's awesome. The graphic novel version was choppy, and had little indication of when it was suddenly changing scenes. The show is very choppy and random, however that has scene changing sound effects and different fades to move everything along. On the plus side:

Very differet, but every bit as good as the anime,
By Chris Thomas (Llano, Tx United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Excel Saga Vol 1 (Paperback)
First, let me tell you what you won't get with the Excel Saga mangas. You won't get puchus,you won't get Pedro and the Will, and you won't get Nabeshin. All those things were added by the director of the anime. What you will get is lots more blood from Hyatt(Hatchan),lots more yummy Menchi(who is now Mince),lots more sexual refrences, and lots more Excel. Where the anime is a sattire of other animes and Japanese media, these mangas are more of a sattire of the entire culture of Japan. The basic premise is the same, and you may find some(but not many)of the stories familliar.If you havn't seen the anime, then I still highly suggest you read this. The plot is random and fun, the writing is extremely inteligent and funny(Bravo, Koshi!), and the art is amoung the best I've seen. But be warned that this is a very mature manga. That isn't to say it's overflowing with sex or anything, but there is a lot of blood, some language, and controversial themes. But that's likely to just encourage lots of people, especially fans of the anime, to look into it, which I suggest they do. Don't expect the anime on paper here, but don't expect to be dissapointed either!
