Excel Saga #14
Excel Saga, Vol. 14
Stories the director himself said they didn't dare put in the anime!
What happens when you try to act like an anime character in real life? EXCEL SAGA . Two groups of neighbors in an apartment building lead secret lives. One thinks they're trying to take over the city of Fukuoka. The other thinks they're trying to defend it. Only their bosses, would-be conqueror Lord Il Palazzo and obsessed bureaucrat Dr. Kabapu, know the truth behind this increasingly dangerous private game... Too bad neither will let their underlings in on it!
Last volume, ACROSS tried and failed to capture a member of the City Environmental Security Agency. This time, Dr. Kabapu tries to capture a member of ACROSS--and succeeds! Vol. 14 of EXCEL SAGA not only proudly offers further plot development--never to be taken for granted, as in lesser manga--but shamelessly panders to base reader instincts with a romantic date, a muddy catfight, and two lavish bath scenes, one of which unfortunately involves Dr. Kabapu.

While neither a plus nor a minus, I feel this volume leans a lot more heavily into fanservice territory - female characters wrestling, characters being interrupted in the bath or fleeing naked in public in suggestive poses (but tastefully covered up - much like the gags in the Austin Powers movies).
Despite some (obscure) borderline Lolita references in prior volumes, prior volumes were rather clean in both subject and art, and I now get the feeling the manga has crossed the Rubicon into "definitely teen/suggestive" territory - adults may wish to screen content before deciding this (and from the cover art of volume 15, perhaps future) volume is appropriate.
