As Toru continues to fumble with winning Mochida’s affection because of Sugako, a mysterious but strong yankee girl has found her after a long search. She’s Kanade, a petite but stoic masked leader of a motorcycle gang who has a history with her and has a personality change when her mask is off. After quickly accepting Sugako’s new life, Kanade becomes a new student at school and only makes things more strange for Toru.
Later, school baseball pitcher Mikami is lovestruck for Sugako and the two surprisingly go on a interesting date and she must get her grades up before summer break. B (83%/Very Good)
Still the laziest manga translation I have ever seen. Even the cover is lazy and mistranslated (the current Kindle version cover mislabels each of the characters). Just like the last book in the series, the pages are cropped badly so that sometimes the dialogue and images are cut off on the top or bottom.
The art really isn't very good anyway, so there is also that.
But the story is so incredibly dumb that I just like reading it. Yes, it's about an incredibly hot aunt who babies her nephew despite the fact that he is the same age... but they aren't falling in love (at least not in the first two volumes). It's just dumb humor from start to finish.
It's not smart. It's self-referential--the characters refer to the fact that they are in a manga sometimes. It's got dumb humor and some ineffective cheesecake (ineffective because the artist can't really draw hot women very well). The characters aren't exactly deep. And this one has some creepy moments with a pedophile student, though it is treated as creepy and wrong.
So... Fire-Hot Aunt is sooooo stupid. But it's my guilty-pleasure manga.
This volume concerns a short girl who follows the titular Fire-Hot Aunt to Tokyo. The Fire-Hot Aunt (named Sugako) is a former leader of a yankee gang, and Sugako has escaped to Tokyo from her old life and is now trying to live as a normal high school girl. Her former co-leader of the gang, Kusakabe, tries to drag her back into the gang life in this issue--but instead we find out that Kusakabe has a double-personality. If she is wearing a mask, she is a dangerous demon girl. If you take off her mask, she becomes super shy and cute because she is embarrassed by her duck lips.
I told you the comic was stupid. But for some reason I enjoy it anyway.
Not really sure I like this. TRIGGER: PEDOPHILIA (implied)
This is really getting to be a really dark series. It's billed as a fun rom-com. Nope! So far it's mostly been violence, bullying, sexual perversion, & bizarre characters acting very strangely. I'm not very comfortable with the direction this is headed. I'm going to give volume 3 a read (I bought all 12 volumes in e-book format as a set), & if this is still meandering through the bizarre & perverse, I'm asking for a refund. I also am bothered by the somewhat racist appearance of Japanese men (slant eyes, buck teeth, etc). I don't find that even mildly amusing. And pedophiles aren't to be made as a point of amusement either. Some things are just not ok to be joked about. Now for composition, the art is fairly good, but a little sloppy at times. The dialogue is mostly ok, but at times becomes completely inane & pedantic. The original premise, a teenager who's obsessed with her same-age nephew, seems to be more of a footnote than the actual story. If I wanted to read countless volumes of super-powered people posturing, gloating, & fighting, I'd go read DBZ. Characters are becoming harder to believe, even less to be relatable to. Like I said, I'm gonna give it 1, maybe 2 more volumes to see if it revolves back to the original premise. If not, I'm gone like the wind, bay-bee! (Gotta give ol Dick Vidale props).
