Kakutou-Komusume Jyurin
(Fighting Girl Juline) is another series by Kakinouchi currently
published monthly in AMIE magazine. It was first pulished in AMIE February'97
issue. The art is not Kakinouchi's best, but it is enjoyable. The characters
are unique.
A little information about Juline
The characters in Feb.
illustration:
Houkyou Biyakuya
Kenga Juline
Suishou Seika
These three are the main characters in the
story. The other group, called "Kokujyukan", wants to collect three Godly
items to become the King of kungfu world.
Juline and friends are protecting three
godly items:
Houkyou (a mirror)
Kenga (a sword )
Suishou (a crystal)
*Notice the similarities of the
godly items to the family name of the three main characters.
Kenga Juline is a member of Kengakan (A
"house" where the sword is).
Suishou Seika is member of Suishoukan (A
"house" where the crystal ball is).
Houkyou Biyaku ya is member of Houkyoukan
(A "house" where the mirror is).
Each character is protecting one godly item.
"House" in this term is more like
an organization.
Juline herself practices martial arts (might
be chinese martial art since there are several chinese words used). She
has a male friend named Ki Ou, also practices martial art, who seems to
like her. There is another character named Ryoku Ha who seems to be Juline's
sempai. The leader of Kokujyukan (in April
illustration 1) is an ambiguous character. We are not sure about her
(his) gender, and the book has not mentioned her (his) name yet.
Thanks to R.D.E.
who provides most of the infomation on Juline. These are the information
available until now. I will put more information and pictures from the
next issues if I got my hand on them.
Due to the lack of Japanese knowledge,
I apologize if there's a mistake in interpreting the story.
Please do give me
corrections, comments or more information about the gist of this story.
Thank you in advance. |
