Front cover of Crazy Food Truck volume 3
Review:
Even the best of meals must come to an end. When the fine food, exquisite desserts and drinks are over, eating more would be gluttonous. So it is with Crazy Food Truck. This third and final book brings the adventures of Gordon and Arisa to a firm, final and tragically satisfying end.
This final course of food truck dining begins with a bang. Gordon reassembles the core of his old military unit for an assault on Towata to rescue the captured Arisa. With the retired General's strategic brilliance and determination, Kyle's courage and quick-thinking adaptability, Dylan's mechanical wizardry all stirred in, they pull it off!
A shocking direct frontal assault succeeds. And in the process, they reveal Towata's secret ancient treasure that they have so zealously guarded for generations: giant eels! The revelation evokes hilarious responses - and ultimately the long-delayed and delicious sushi!
The rest of Book Three fills in the remaining back stories - the great war; Gordon's role in winning it, followed by faking his own death rather than become a senior leader; the origins of Arisa; the dedication of VALD to either retrieve or destroy her.
It all builds to a fantastically violent final confrontation and tragic end for our heroes Gordon and Arisa. But their joy in embracing the beauty of life, even in death, and their own happiness makes for a satisfying end, no bitter after-taste in this tale!
As always, Rokurou Ogaki tells a brisk and crisp story, delightfully seasoned by his art - in turns gory, desolate, sexy, silly, always beautiful. An expert blending of flavors in this tasty tale.
And a special thanks to Amanda Haley and Jennifer Leblanc who handled the translation and adaptation into English of this wonderfully entertaining series.
Description:
Zero customers, a naked young lady, and an armed militia—it’s just another postapocalyptic day for this food truck owner!
The owner of a food truck in a postapocalyptic world nearly runs over a naked girl sleeping in the middle of the desert. When he gives her a lift, he inadvertently takes on her baggage too—an armed militia hot on her trail…and her even more problematic appetite. If one doesn’t take him out, the other surely will!
Arisa’s been kidnapped, and it’s up to her sister Myna, Gordon, and his one-time subordinates Kyle and Dylan to rescue her. But when certain physical changes begin to take place within Arisa, the journey takes a sudden turn. It’s the final volume in this crazy food truck road trip full of postapocalyptic cooking, violent mayhem, and the search for freedom!
