Comments: Shanna is in the jungle enjoying her day when danger suddenly arrives. A metal machine swoops in, grabs Shanna, and whisks her away.
Shanna is drawn as a cute young woman, and her feminine features are clearly emphasized. She is beautiful.
The story is simple, making it very easy to follow. Casnada is the villain, though he doesn’t come across as overly evil.
Shanna is taken to Commander Astra of the Salusian Military Police, who informs her that their prisoner is loose on Earth. Shanna begins tracking the escaped prisoner, who is adapting surprisingly well to its new environment.
The prisoner fights to survive as Shanna follows its trail. When Commander Astra finally locates him, they engage in a fierce battle. Casnada proves to be a tough opponent. Shanna arrives on the scene and joins the fight.
In the end, Shanna must make a hard choice. She does what is best for her people—the Kiri. This moment marks her growth as she begins to mature into a true leader.
The art depicting Shanna is adorable, and her freckles make her even cuter. Yet she is also portrayed as a serious warrior—and ultimately, much more.
