In this battle of the bands, the right to shine on stage just might come down to who plays the sharpest G-string. Meet Led Salad, the latest, hottest, all-girl band in a madcap world where bands fight each other for their fans--literally! They've got it all: hot looks, left hooks, a weaponized tour bus complete with hot tub, and their first world tour. But they're also about to get stuck with a brand-new, inexperienced roadie who can barely lift their equipment, let alone protect them. Can the girls transform this total loser into a stud...or will he turn the band into a dud? If you like Love Hina or Girls Bravo, you must not miss this harem manga bursting with comedy, romance and fan-service-filled fights!]Created by Steve Buccellato, Battle of the Bands is a great shojo manga that will have you itching for a guitar and a tour bus in no time. When the 4-girl band Led Salad loses their roadie Mark, they're forced to find someone else. Enter Chet, failed musician with muscles like wet noodles - he's exactly the opposite of everything Mark was. And if that wasn't bad enough - Led Salad is no ordinary band - the foursome - Kari, Becky, Zoe and Gina - make up a mean martial arts team and for good reason - they fight their competition! What will happen when this unlikely match up hits the road? Only time and a little rock and roll will tell.
Battle of the Bands is due to hit the streets on July 10, 2007 but you can catch a sneak peek at TOKYOPOP's online manga player.
