Anime Profile: Variable Geo Neo Volume 1 - The Games Begin

Determined to pay off her brother's debt, the beautiful and talented Yu Asuka heads off for a tournament called Variable Geo Neo, which dares to pit the sexiest and most talented fighting waitress against one another. The winner is rewarded with glory and money, while the losers hang their heads in shame... and not just because they lost, but because the punishment for losing is to be sexually molested in the ring while the entire crowd cheers it on.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Volume one starts off not on Yu, but on some purple haired girl whose hands are bound by a chain to the ceiling. Three men are in the room with her, all of whom are sporting military-like threads, and they apparently want some information that miss busty purple-haired girl has... though even after a few strikes of a whip, she is unwilling to talk. So her captors try another tactic: pouring some gooey gel substance over her now-tender breasts. Apparently it's some kind of truth serum or something. At any rate, off come her clothes and the fun begins.

The next scene is when we are introduced to Yu Asuka. She's on a train that's leaving for the tournament she spies a girl running beside the train trying to get her attention. This would be Ayumi Akamoto, who is also heading for the tournament. They quickly become friends, and once their off the train they also quickly meet a third contestant in the tournament, a cute Chinese girl named Yung Ching Jyu (but call her Tama-chan!), who literally drops in from above just like you'd expect from a Chinese acrobat in an anime series.

After a quick flashback of Yu talking to some old guy known as the Professor (which indicate that this tournament is more than it seems) and some quick introductions, the battles begin! Yu Asuka is up first, squaring off against her good friend Sanari Misumi. The fight is fast and furious, but also quite short. The one who wins moves on to the next round, while the other gets taken right there in front of the entire crowd... and I don't think it would be much of a spoiler to reveal that our main character, Yu Asuka, is the one proceeding to the next round.

Although the battle may be over, the series continues on with volume two and volume three. I hope they're released soon because I hate to be kept hangin'!
