Product Description: The fate of the world depends on Shadow Lady finding and sealing up the dreaded Demon Stones, but first she must vanquish the evildoers corrupted by their demonic power. But Aimi Komori has very little left of the magic eye shadow that transforms her into Shadow Lady, and she must transform for perhaps the final time to face the hideous Zera, Arch-Demon of Destruction. If Shadow Lady can't reseal the Demon Stones, Zera will transform into the Demon of Final Destruction, and mankind and demonkind will both buy the farm! Of course, the citizens of Gray City think that Shadow Lady is actually Zera's master, so they're after Shadow Lady's head too!
Great stuff! A must for teen anime fans. Guys and girls will both love this one by the creator of Video Girl Ai, albeit for different reasons. Girl power and slightly risque content of a really cute super heroine mix to make this manga. As for plot, it's like a teenager's version of Saint Tail (also very good!). I'll spare you the plot details, as everyone else should have stated that by now, but you should definately read Shadow Lady. It's got beautiful artwork and a fun plot, which mix together to make a good read!
A fun read with gorgeous artwork This is just a fun read. The story of the pretty but terminally shy girl Aimi who transforms into the flirtatious super-thief Shadow Lady, this book revolves around Aimi falling in love with a man obsessed with Shadow Lady. The artwork is gorgeous, as one would expect from Masakazu Katsura (who also did Video Girl Ai, though Shadow Lady has better character designs, in my opinion). The artwork is suggestive at times, but I don't recall any nudity which was not strategically covered-up (but little kids should probably stay away). The only real downside is that it wasn't a hit in Japan, so there's not that much to translate.
