Al Foster is a glamorous and successful private eye, whose life turns completely over the day a large crate mysteriously turns up in his office. Inside is young Rai Spencer, who wants to hire the detective as a bodyguard, although what a boisterous, boy millionaire with psychic superpowers needs guarding from all his skills can’t discover…
And so begins an easy-going and engaging comedy thriller series as Foster becomes increasingly embroiled with the unconventional Spencer family, even becoming romantically involved with Rai’s incredibly high-maintenance sister Rei.
This easy-going, jolly and thrilling series combines action, traditional manga comedy-romance and even super-psionic adventure with the detective genre and comes up with a gentle brew that has lots to recommend it. Neither challenging or life-changing, but tremendously unprepossessing fun for ten year olds and above.
This book is printed in the ‘read-from-back-to-front’ manga format.
