Man, this was such a cool series.  Totally worth Street Fighter II being delayed so epicly.  I never ever liked Sakura until now.  I won’t say that this series has made her one of my favorite characters, not by a long stretch, but I certainly don’t hate her anymore, and that’s quite an accomplishment.  Lots of Dan goodness in this story, which is terrific.  I wouldn’t say he gets a “happy ending”, but he gets a “Dan ending”, which is fine.  The spontaneous humor in this book remains on the mark, particularly who E. Honda selects as the winner of the hot dog eating competition.  The fight with Karin is a bit of a let down, but not terribly disappointing.  You get lots of action from the Rival Schools cast, which is cool if you’re a fan of them, though Natsu shouting out the name of her combo attack was dreadful.

If you can’t find all the individual issues then definately get the trade paperback once it comes out.  Fantastic work from the guys at Udon.  I hope to see more from them (or at least see Street Fighter II out in a timely manner now that this mini is over with).
