You’re Under Arrest!

(Dark Horse, 1995-1996)
™ and © Dark Horse Comics, Inc.

You’re under arrest is action-comedy, manga style. Natsumi and Miyuki are female police officers. Natsumi is boisterous, fun-loving, and a bit inept about most everything except motorcycles. Miyuki is shy, soft-spoken, and tends to do more baby-sitting of Natsumi than actual police work. Because of Natsumi’s insatiable hunger for adventure, the two tend to get trouble almost constantly.

The series features plenty of witty dialogue and fast-paced action scenes. In the first story of the series, Natsumi becomes obsessed with ticketing a rock star for his repeated disregard for traffic laws. Every time she tickets him, however, he has the ticket fixed. Miyuki and Natsumi devise a plan to ticket him in front of reporters, making it impossible for him to alter his record. After an exciting car chase scene, the two officers get their man, only to find out that all of the reporters are also illegally parked.
