The folks over at Tenchiforum have started translating the Ai Tenchi manga. I know Ai isn't exactly highly regarded here, but I thought I'd make a thread anyway for anyone who is interested.

I thought tenchifourm was dead. They have very few posts
The news of the Ai dub seems to have gotten the people running the site excited again. The users don't seem to be flocking back though, and I think registration is still closed.
It's all on Discord.
Oh. And their socialist media outlets. ;)
P.S.- Good for them.

We're the opposite I think, hardly anyone wants to be on discord and would rather stay on the forum.
I will say this though I don't mind the designs of AI tenchi. :smith:
I'll take it a step farther and say I really like the designs. I might be a bit biased though because I'm a fan of Yasuda.

They are probably well aware of the Ai novels. Also you need to learn to clean up your amazon links.

Not a fan of the designs, although I do like Momo and Hachiko. Best girl X's outside the OAV.
Ai Tenchi and post-OAV2 suffer from the same exact thing, too many outsiders taking spotlight. not enough Tenchi girls focus :/
The outfits are awkward but during the flashback episodes it was nice seeing Ryoko in her classic gown.

This artwork lends itself better on paper than it does on television I'm noticing.
:aaa: :aaa: The manga author is on social media, unless it's another Miss Nakazato person.
Yeah, they have a twitter.

Seems this all was a condensed/abridged version of what transpired on the show; regardless it was a good read. Thanks for posting it dude.
Just finished reading the manga, and you know... I'm VERY pleasantly surprised here. The manga's way of handling a similar story with the same characters isn't nearly as bad as it was handled in the anime, and you know what? I actually liked this take on the story. The pacing and timing of when stuff happens is different, some events are changed or even dropped altogether, there's more consistent talk about Momo and Beni's past, Beni is just plain more active than I remember her being in the anime, and even the endgame is executed much differently. Short version? The Ai Tenchi Muyo! manga isn't just plain BETTER than the anime, but it's actually tolerable.

Abridged is definitely the proper term rather than condensed. Some events got changed, as did the order of said events.
