With Ryoko resurrected, Tenchi Masaki’s day-to-day life was no longer peaceful. One after another, the Princess and Galaxy Police officer, who had been chasing Ryoko across the galaxy arrived, and in their wake they destroyed his school and the Great Seto bridge! Tenchi is now surrounded by all these dangerous women, his life won’t be the same again. He is now ringing in the new year. He is not a husband! The girls from outer space have feelings of love that are beginning to bud for Tenchi! The story is a very popular SF hybrid – with love – and comedy that’s all based on the original OVA! Life’s too big not to have read this!
Originally published by Fujimi Fantasia Bunko in 1993 and written by OVA1 scriptwriter Naoko Hasegawa, One Visitor After Another has remained untranslated from its original Japanese text for over 20 years. Having discovered this, I set upon the insane task of making this work available to English-speaking fans. Thanks to a back breaking amount of hard work and dedication from a group of excellent fans, it is here for you to enjoy at last. I’m incredibly proud of the effort everyone has put in to helping make this a reality. May they be remembered for this day in Tenchi fandom history.
The novel gives us a peek into some ideas set aside from the OVA1 creative minds Naoko Hasegawa, Masaki Kajishima and Hiroki Hayashi. Written during the last half of OVA1’s production, Hasegawa combined her knowledge of the characters with Kajishima and Hayashi’s ideas to craft a short comedy drama that really combines everything that makes Tenchi Muyo! so special to fans. I have no doubt that there is something in these novels for everyone. And what unique insight it gives us into how things were going towards the end of OVA1 at the studio!
Anyways, without further delay I would like to present to you Novel 1 of Naoko Hasegawa’s Tenchi Muyo! light novel series. Please enjoy and let us know what you think in the forums!
