Publisher Description
In this prequel to "Multiple Personality Girl" -- the story of Momoka Nishizawa just before she entered the world of Fuyuki and Keroro--"Dark Momoka" makes her first appearance when she sees Tamama being beaten up by an alien dog...Grrr! Also in this paper-cut-filled volume, as the sun hit high noon, Giroro discovers he's in too deep when a day at the beach turns into 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. And somewhere in all this madness, Sgt. Frog comes up with another ingenious plan to get back at Natsumi. But will his bark be worse than his bite...Or will his scheme just downright suck?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Things just keep getting worse for Sgt. Frog. First he's separated from his military unit (the Space Invasion Force Special Advance Team of the 58th planet of the Gamma Stormcloud system), and now he's been discovered by two earth teenagers, Natsumi and Fuyuki Hinata. They think Sgt. Frog is just a small green alien; little do they know the subtle military mind they're dealing with. Luckily, Mom Hinata, director of a manga label and a total babe, takes a shine to the sergeant, and gives him room and board in exchange for performing household chores. In his chamber (a bachelor pad complete with personal computer), Sgt. Frog spies on his captors, discovers the effects of humidity on his psyche and makes contact with one of his lost squad. Meanwhile, it seems nearly every character is in love with Mom Hinata, and Fuyuki's would-be girlfriend, Nishizawa, can barely contain her jealous rage when she realizes Fuyuki's mother looks better in a bathing suit than she does. (Yes, although most of the story's action takes place in the city, readers are treated to some beach scenes when the fabulously wealthy Nishizawa tries to get Fuyuki alone on a desert island, but can't separate him from his good-looking family.) Things close on a cliffhanger: Lady Moa, a human alien of the Angol tribe, shows up carrying her magic trident. Will Earth survive? This work is a fairly pleasant but unexceptional humorous take on the alien invasion story.
