Mother Planet
Planet Jurai: the source of the sentient trees, the seat of an intergalactic empire, and the homeland of Ayeka, Sasami and Tenchi's grandfather Yohko. Not to suggest that the story actually takes place there, but it's nice background information, isn't it? When the queens of Jurai come to visit their daughters on Earth, you will feel Ayeka's embarrassment! See Ayeka'a old hairstyle! Smell lots of Macaca fuscata (Japanese monkeys)! Hear the footsteps of an assassin! And taste Sasami's cooking! All this, plus three more strangely hilarious stories, involving Ryo-Oh-Ki, Sasami and the god of the sea!
