“CAPTURED BY THE KAPRE!” Eight months after the storyline chronicled in the BANZAI GIRL manga trade, Jinky Coronado and Michelle have become bona fide popstars! Their new CD is out, and they’re touring the world – but all is not well at home. A massive, hairy creature known as the Kapre` has been spotted in the woods… and kids inciting its wrath are disappearing. Katie J is all grown up and has plans to take on the hirsute Kapre` by herself. Plus: Jinky Coronado returns to school and has a special secret admirer, and it’s NOT the class lech. Is he…something more? It’s all-out action, fabulous fights, pleated skirts, and everyone’s favorite Asian schoolgirl back in action. Whoever thought a strict schoolgirl dress code could be this much fun? PLUS: A special sequence plotted by novelist Paul S. Brittain, AND an all-new KATIE’S WORLD strip, all written and illustrated by Jinky Coronado!
Reviewer Comments:
This title doesn't seem to have much for a storyline but it's definitely going to be an attraction for the T & A crowd.
No actual porn in the book, but with sexy schoolgirl uniforms on, Jinky Coronado and company strut their stuff through class without a care in the world and not much is left to the imagination. Frederick is the main male character in this story and he's crushing on Jinky hard, but when mom does some laundry and washes the lipstick off of Freddy's good luck shirt, things change and you can't help but think that Fred will end up hooking up with Jinky's sister Kat in future issues. He doesn't seem like a bad kid, but I can't say much about his choice of backpacks. (Read the comic, you'll see what I mean.)
Kat and ol' Freddy go huntin' for bigfoot and miraculously capture the big guy pretty easily. Guess the Japanese big foot is a pushover.. well sort of. The issue ends with the duo lookin like they might be in for more than they bargained for.
