Go Go Power Rangers spoof? Yuji Midorikawa, also known as Green of the Gakusei five, is somehow living with their most feared enemy, Madame Mayura. Madame Mayura is evil and ruthless, but without her magic horn she's like a high school girl. On top of that, she has fallen in love with Midorikawa. The problem with this is that every time Midorikawa shows any affection back to Mayura, she reverts back to her evil self. Mayura's team, the Gurdark Forces, try to find her whereabouts. Master Zeros, one of the evil team leaders, has a crush on Madame Mayura and stops at nothing to reclaim her, even if it means going out into the sun!

The art style of this manga is very basic. There really isn't much action, mostly comedy. All the characters seem to be wimps. Master Zelos is pathetic and Green is the worst member of the team. His team doesn't really like him at all for being so weak and useless. The only downside I saw with this manga was the translation. There are a few errors here and there. The story is written in a strange way, so one can easily get confused when reading. If you enjoy a funny read and are a patient reader, this one is worth looking into.

I found myself saying, “What the heck?” in some parts. It's a good read though; I'd pick it up just to have something new and refreshing. But you would have to be a patient reader since the story isn't always coherent. I would buy this manga on sale or used. The plot is just weird.
