Excel Saga Vol. 7

by Rikdo Koshi

Just because Sumiyoshi has the weight, sight, and barely-comprehensible speech patterns of the CS/EE major, doesn't mean that he is one. But just how much memory does he have stashed inside that room of his? And when Iwata and Watanabe enter for the first time, are they prepared to face the fact he's closer to Matsuya than they've ever gotten!? Volume 7 of Excel Saga also features lengthy excursions by our characters into the quite unrelated worlds of human-powered flight and hotel management. The chickens of the sea have come home to roost for Fukuoka's big Birdman-By-The-Beach contest, where various freaks and losers, including most of Excel Saga's cast, pit their feeble thrashings against Earth's gravity in pursuit of one "million" yen. Then, Across stands to increase its forces by 33.3%, provided Excel and Hyatt can make contact with Il Palazzo's prospective third recruit-somewhere within the cliffside resort run by the scarred and eyepatched man from Vol. 5. But war memories flash back from his bald skull, not to mention the Messerschmitt BF 109 G-6 he's got fueled up in a basement hanger.
