RizelMine
Manga Review
Yukiru Sugisaki is known for works like DNAngel, Candidate for Goddess, and Brain Power. Her manga, RizelMine, carries on the traditions of greats like Urusei Yatsura and FLCL. Follow the exploits of Iwaki Tomonori, a nerdish 15-year-old with a thing for older women. The government needs him to marry their experiment, a bio-engineered cutie named Rizel. She's cheerful and they mean to keep her that way. (Heaven help you if you make her cranky.) She has fallen in love with Iwaki and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
 So what's a schoolboy to do in a pre-arranged marriage to a super-powered 12-year-old? Can he go against the authorities and risk dire consequences? Will he fall under the spell of little miss perky. Will his classmates stop giving him that funny look? The hilarity comes to you courtesy of TokyoPop. Check it out.
