Excel Saga, Volume 18

Stories the director himself said they didn't dare put in the anime!

Q: What happens when you try to act like an anime character in real life? A: EXCEL SAGA. Two groups of neighbors in an apartment building lead secret lives. One thinks they're trying to take over the city of Fukuoka. The other thinks they're trying to defend it. Only their bosses, would-be conqueror Lord Il Palazzo and obsessed bureaucrat Dr. Kabapu, know the truth behind this increasingly dangerous private game... Too bad neither will let their underlings in on it!

In Fukuoka, first you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the women--unless you're Il Palazzo, in which case you get the women first and proceed from there. As the struggle for the city takes its most blatant form yet, with a mayoral race between the long-haired chairman of ILL and the long-mustached head of the Department of Environmental Security. It falls to Elgala, of all people, to comprehend that something is terribly, terribly wrong with Excel. But sit back and relax--because there's something terribly wrong for everyone in this volume of Excel Saga!
