Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki / High quality Japanese illustra...
Last post by Xirik - August 26, 2026, 08:53:58 PM
Hi everyone!

This is actually my first time posting anything here. I've been using this forum for a while, and I wanted to contribute something to the Tenchi Muyo! community.

I'm currently working on a Russian translation of the Tenchi Muyo! GXP light novels. While working on the books, I noticed that many of the illustrations in the existing translations and PDFs are quite low quality.

I spent quite a lot of time collecting the original Japanese material. I have the complete Tenchi Muyo! GXP novels from volume 1 through volume 18, along with the illustrations from each volume in much better quality.

For volume 18 in particular, I purchased the Japanese edition myself and went through the extra work needed to prepare it for the collection. It took quite a bit of time and effort, so I figured I might as well share everything once it was organized.

The collection includes the Japanese GXP novels and the extracted illustrations for volumes 1 through 18.

I've also included original EPUB files for several other novels from the Tenchi Muyo! universe:

天地無用!in LOVE(富士見ファンタジア文庫) (Tenchi Muyo! in LOVE)
天地無用!真夏のイヴ(富士見ファンタジア文庫) (Tenchi Muyo! The Summer Eve)
天地無用!魎皇鬼(富士見ファンタジア文庫) (Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki)
新・天地無用!(富士見ファンタジア文庫) (New Tenchi Muyo!)
真・天地無用!魎皇鬼(富士見ファンタジア文庫) (True Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki)
真・天地無用!魎皇鬼外伝 天地無用!GXP(富士見ファンタジア文庫) (True Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki Side Story: Tenchi Muyo! GXP, the GXP novels mentioned above, volumes 1 through 18)
魔法少女プリティサミー(富士見ファンタジア文庫) (Magical Girl Pretty Sammy)

I've put everything together in a Google Drive folder:

I decided to share all of this because I thought it might be useful to anyone working on translations, re-translations, or simply looking for better quality versions of the books and artwork. I also wanted to make a small contribution to the community after spending so much time collecting and organizing everything.

If these scans or books have already been posted somewhere on the forum, please let me know. I don't want to repost something that is already available here.

Hope someone finds them useful!

Quote from: BobSchlotkin on August 14, 2026, 09:18:47 PMI spent a couple of days thinking about book formatting and have decided to reformat GXP 1.

I've uploaded it to Eff as GXP 1, Episodes 1-4 (Retranslated)(2ed).

I've also added more of Eff's Translator Notes.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

I was honestly thinking that at the end of each volume, a community notes section would be a welcome addition. Something that could go into greater detail about related characters oft overlooked, due to the assumption readers already have a greater familiarity with the extended universe characters.
except she isnt dead we find out.
GXP11:
Quotethat way, it could still make things uncomfortable for her in the military. Criticism against her
would be aimed no longer at her, their anger would be directed to Mikami. Even though Mikami
was a Kuramitsu, she couldn't help but be drawn into dealing with the dispute, especially now
that Mikumo's reign had ended.
"Minami should be President of the Elder Men's Association, but if Taima is appointed it will be
awkward."
"That's a big deal... good thing the captain of the first fleet who lost a fight to me is in good
health."
* * * Translators' note: This seems to be her second mention. I assume this is Seto talking about
the mysterious lady on the doujin cover. This also seems to confirm her as a Kuramitsu, but she
can't be Minami's wife because she is a widow. * * *
"If so, then there's no problem, it might be a good opportunity to eliminate the influence of
Seniwa from GP."
"The opposition from those people will be great, but ... I think we'll cope, I'll deal with that on my
own. It seems though that there's nothing to keep us from moving ahead with this right away."
"Good, then let's move ahead with things."
Azusa and Seto headed for the transfer gate with quick pace to fulfill their respective roles.
Seto, who came back to the Mikagami again, breathed a big sigh of relief. "Unfortunately to do
this we have to put some troubles on Seina."

The C108 doujin is yet another gamer issue.
I don't see any point in spending the money to read about Kaj whining about games.

From Eff's translation:
The Veil lady is the commander of the 1st Imperial Defense Fleet. Next to her is Seto; and Minaho and Airi from the time they were being sheltered at the Galaxy Academy.
The Commander of the 1st Fleet is wearing a widow's mourning attire. Covering the face indicates that she remains faithful to her late husband and refuses to remarry.
She perished in a decisive battle with the Pirate Guild (caught in the explosion of her Royal Ship, her body was never recovered).

I really should add some more of Eff's notes in the future!

You're welcome. Finished blazing though volume 9 the other day. And I'm sure it was mentioned before, but who's the veiled widow on the cover of Kamidake Onsen 5 supposed to be again? I thought it was Mikami Kuramitsu, as the hair matches up perfectly, but Mikami doesn't seem too opposed remarrying. At least not after meeting with Widow. And from what was mentioned in volume 9, I can't help but think it's Kuisu Panta. The rumors about Seto killing off the widow would simply be a ruse, to explain a missing person, that is now shadowing Seto. It'd also explain why Kuisu appears to be in her 40s, while Seto still appears to be in her 30s.

Well Damn!
That's embarrassing!

I really spend a lot of time rereading these things to catch errors like that.
Here's where they are:
Imperial Jade should be Imperial gems, GXP7, pg 182
   This one is due to DeepL and Google Translate. Imperial Gems or Jade was about 50-50. I went with gems for no particular reason.

River Blow should be Liver Blow, GXP3, pg 39
   Wish I could say this was on purpose. It is kinda funny.

I'll get these fixed and a couple of other things I forgot in the next couple of weeks and re-upload them to Eff.

Thanks for the kind words!
