is a Japanese manga series created by Go Nagai that originally ran in the magazine ''Weekly Shōnen Champion''.〔 Some of its characters returned with different names as part of other series, such as ''Cutie Honey'', ''UFO Robot Grendizer'' and ''Mazinger Angels Z'' among others. Some of the first stories were adapted into an original video animation by Studio Pierrot in 1991, and released in North America by ADV Films.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.themanime.org/viewreview.php?id=5 )〕 The manga was also adapted into a live-action film released in 2009.〔 ==Plot== The series deals with the adventures of the Abashiri family, a clan of criminals who are feared by the police and other criminals alike, as they are a destructive force to be reckoned with. Although they are virtually unstoppable, they do not have great desires and many of their plans are normally minor and sometimes get undone by their own foolishness. That is unless they are attacked, at which point they will retaliate with full force, normally with deadly consequences for their enemies. As the series progress the tone of the series becomes less crime-focused and becomes more a gag comedy with strong touches of eroticism. The series was originally conceived by Nagai as a form of protest and parody of the controversy that arose with ''Harenchi Gakuen''. While having a grim tone at the beginning, the series lightens up as it progresses, although the graphic violence remains through most of it but becoming less frequent. The series remained popular in its original run until Nagai decided to drop it along with other series that he was doing at the time in order to concentrate on the ''Devilman'' manga. Years later, a single one-shot story was published and has since been included in all new tankōbon series. A special crossover one-shot with ''Cutie Honey'' was also published in 2009, in commemoration of the 40 years anniversary of the magazine ''Shōnen Champion'', where both series debuted in manga. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Abashiri Family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
