No, I'm NOT talking about the Utena ones.

I'm talking about the series that has LIME-CHAN!

...

No, not the one from Saber Marionette.

Nooooo, not the one from Ranma either! >_<

Oh, shut up and be educated, heathen. Shadow Lady is a series done by Masakazu Katsura (y'know, the Video Girl Ai guy) that was put out by Dark Horse Comics in 1999-2000. Although regrettably short, it's a well-crafted quirky story about Aimi, a shy girl who through the wondrous power of magical eyeshadow (don't ask), turns into Shadow Lady, the world's greatest thief. And her perverted friend Demota becomes her perverted demon sidekick De-mo. Again, don't ask. The series has appealing characters, many funny and a few genuinely touching moments, and of course, Katsura's usual lush artwork and women who are, shall we say, fairly easy on the eyes. ;p

DH has put out the graphic novel collections, so go get them! NOW NOW NOW!

So, who's this "Lime" I was babbling about? Well, any good protagonist needs a rival, right? Lime-chan also has a secret identity; using her not-inconsiderable gadgeteering and martial arts skills, she is Grey City's self-appointed superheroine, Spark Girl! (Okay, her taste in names needs work, I admit.) However, she's on Blade's list of favourite characters, so you all know she has to be cool, right?

...choose your answer carefully.

Anyway, enough sycophantic gushing. Get the series, see the pictures, worship Lime-chan.

You know you want to.

Better yet, I want you to.

And isn't that enough for anybody?
