== Product description ==
<blockquote>Meet Tenchi Masaki — a seemingly

ordinary Japanese high school

student. His life is changed forever

when he accidentally breaks the seal

that imprisons a legendary demon near

his family's shrine. The female demon is

actually a galactic space pirate, and her

release starts a chain of events that brings

a motley crew of alien women to Tenchi's

household. A royal princess, a galaxy police

detective, a cute little girl with a mysterious past,

a powerful space pirate, an adorable cat / rabbit hybrid,

and the greatest scientific genius in the universe...all

vying for Tenchi's attention and affection! As Tenchi's

adventures begin, he unlocks the secret of his family

heritage and discovers that his blood is the key to an

ancient and wondrous power...

This role-playing game is based on the 14-episode video series, ''Tenchi''

''Muyo!'', conceived and developed by Hiroki Hayashi and Masaki

Kajishima. You can take up the role of Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, Sasami,

Mihoshi, Washu, Yosho, or even Ryo-Ohki; alternatively you can play the

villainous Kagato or Dr. Clay, or even a character of your own design.

The game features the intuitive and easy-to-learn Tri-Stat SystemTM

game mechanics, which is fully compatible with GUARDIANS OF ORDER's

other anime role-playing games. Additionally, the book offers

extensive resources and references for Tenchi Muyo! fans (including

exhaustive episode summaries and introspective character bios), and

over 500 spectacular full-colour animation images. It's the ideal

role-playing game for gamers and Japanese anime fans who

appreciate fast-paced combat action, mecha space battles, and

soap opera comedy!</blockquote>
