Ryofuko-chan



I am the peerless general of the heavens!

Ryofu, also known as the "Flying General" Lü Bu from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, reappears in modern-day Japan--in the body of an 8-year old elementary school girl. Even though Ryofu now has to go through life with the more feminine name Ryofuko and the added suffix "-chan", her lust for power and strife is not diminished in the least. Hilarity Ensues.

Among the warriors who reappear, Ryofuko and her faithful servant Chinkyuu are the only ones who turn out to be little girls, which makes them the center of numerous Lolicon jokes. In that it even outdoes Moetan by a fair margin--which is saying something.

Yawaraka Sangokushi Tsukisase!! Ryofuko-chan, released as a 4-episode OVA in 2007, is yet another gender-flipped parody of the ancient warriors as described in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in superficially the same vein as Ikki Tousen and Koihime Musou.

There's also a manga, titled ''Magical Musō Tenshi Tsukisase!! Ryofuko-chan'', but it hasn't been translated, even by fan groups.
