A manga/anime inspired Keenspace web comic by
Emily Snodgrass and Allison Brownlow (Emi-chan and Tanzy). Ellie
James is an American exchange student studying in Tokyo for a
semester. Ellie is a very obsessed otaku/fangirl and
drags a member of her host family, Keiko Hasegawa, to Tokyo
Tower with her, the both of them dressed in sailor fukus,
because, to quote Ellie, "You have to wear it! Every time someone
gets transported to another world from Tokyo Tower, they are
wearing a sailor fuku! We can't take any chances!" No sooner
does Keiko object that stuff like that doesn't happen in the real
world than a flash of light engulfs Tokyo Tower, and waddaya
know, they find themselves in another world.
Along with Ellie and Keiko, four other people are dragged along:
Petra, an irritable weapons freak; Hoshiko Yamano, an ecchi high
school student; Eichi Shinohara, an ecchi struggling musician, and
Lycidia, a wealthy high school student who's determined to take
over the world. (Are you pondering what I'm pondering?) It
turns out that they were summoned to UberTokyo by Daisuke Dohmoto,
an otaku/fanboy who bought a book on how to summon a harem of
loving and devoted girls; he should get his money back, because
not only is one of the summoned a guy, but none of them happen to
be feeling any sort of positive emotions towards him for dragging
them into an alternate world. (Well, except for Ellie; this is
what she wanted to happen, after all).
They set off to find a way to get back home (after Lycidia
declares Daisuke to be her loyal minion), but not
all is well in UberTokyo. Kerisu, the Evil Overlord of UberTokyo, is having a problem with his
fawning groupies, who are on strike, so he sets his eyes on this
new batch of girls to be his new groupies. His sends out his
loyal minion, Dom, of MegaTokyo fame, to capture them, and...
And it gets even weirder than it already is. If you like weird
stuff, give it a try. Can be found at
