About a week and a half ago, Silver Dragon Manga released chapter one of the Grenadier manga. This title is a frequently-silly series that takes place in a bizarre incarnation of “ancient future japan” in which banditos with machineguns square off against six-gun toting gunslingers and sword-swinging samurai.

The main character, Rushuna, is on a quest to perfect the ultimate battle strategy: to break the opponent’s will to fight without fighting. She is cheerful, naive, and excellent markswoman, really enjoys a good bath, and is built for fanservice. If the manga continues as I suspect it will (I’ve seen the first two volumes of raws), expect a lot of cool fight scenes, some silly humor, and lots of non-threatening cleavage shots.
