Banzai Girl

Plot

Collects Banzai Girl (2002) and Banzai Girl Annual (2004) #1.

Popular manga artist/writer (and FHM model) Jinky Coronado brings her fancified adventures to life in this 160-page saga, collected in digest format with graytone manga style. After Jinky celebrates her 18th birthday, tentacle monsters attack and her parents and townspeople become controlled by alien invaders! Soon after, she encounters a terrible, schoolgirl-devouring Snakeman beneath the mall, and faces the maddening Manananggal, a vampire that preys on expectant mothers, sucking the very lifeblood from unborn babies! The life and relationships and friendships are real. The creatures are authentic urban legends. The artwork is fabulously Filipino. And the adventures spring from the mind and drawing table of the real-life Jinky Coronado, everyone's favorite Asian schoolgirl!
