Best-selling mangaka Hikaru Nakamura (Saint Young Men) makes her English language debut with this surreal comedy starring a 620-year-old water sprite, a man with a star for a head, a nun, and a samurai who runs a barber shop under Tokyo’s Arakawa Bridge. Part 7 contains volumes 13 and 14 of the Japanese edition. Under the waters of the Arakawa lies the Kapa House. Under the Kapa House is a secret room only those dubbed “mayor” are allowed to enter. Inside the room someone casts charms to protect the Arakawa river bank from unwanted intruders…
“Delightfully zany on every page, Nakamura’s weird love story manages to deliver as much blood to the heart as she does tickles to the funny bone. With the series soon reaching its end, one can only wonder how Recruit and Nino’s tale will wrap up. One thing’s for certain, though: it won’t be predictable by any means, an aspect that’s kept Arakawa Under the Bridge the entertaining read it’s been.” — Boston Bastard Brigade
