Our final review for the month is not just a celebration of sisterhood but also a return to a series I reviewed six years ago.
SHAOLIN SISTERS ( Fuun San Shimai Lin3 ), by Narumi Kakinouchi. First published in 2000 and first published in North America in 2003.
PLOT:
Julin's 15th birthday should have been a joyous day, but the White Lotus clan turned it into a tragedy. Her master was killed by their garrote-wire wielding leader Bai Weng, while her friend Kio was lost in the wilderness. The only way she can stop them and avenge her fallen friends is to seek out her father's other daughters, each of wielding powerful martial arts of their own along with mystical bells that match the one Julin was given. All the while, they have to prevent the very secrets of Shaolin from falling into Bai Weng's clutches.
