Excel Saga, Vol. 15

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 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!While Watanabe proposes marriage and desperately studies how to have "sex," nothing can come between him and Hyatt - nothing, that is, except the return of her lord and master, Il Palazzo. Meanwhile, Excel and Elgala are sent to a forsaken women's prison colony - yeah, chains, sadistic warden, the whole bit. But soon EXCEL SAGA leaves these cheap thrills behind, in favor of capital-intensive thrills, as ACROSS attempts to beat Kabapu at his own game: money and respectability!
