The mangas are a pseudo-OAV continuity. They branch off after the 1st OAV, but also include at least parts of the 2nd OAV. My theory is that the 1st & 2nd manga volumes take place before episode 7, and the rest take place after episode 13. But it's not really specified just how much of OAV 2 is actually included, other than certain events that the manga specifically refers to. <p><center><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/ryoko2.gif" width="73" height="81"><a href="mailto:babelfisherperson@hotmail.com"><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/akaijuyon.gif" width="91" height="20" alt="Red XIV" border="0"></a><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/tenchi2.gif" width="63" height="95"><br><br><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/tenchi_ryoko_wedding.jpg" width="520" height="348"><br>The REAL Happy Couple</center></p><i></i>

Maybe a detailed timeline is in order, LOL. Or has that already been done? <p><center><img src=http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/jamie/1221/127680e0.jpg> </center><center><i>"Love is a battlefield..."</i></center></p><i></i>

What exactly is the second OAV? <p><center> <img src=http://deragon25.netfirms.com/LightGuardian/tuna_11.jpg> </center> "I'm the greatest, and I can't possibly be beat!- Cassius Clay aka Muhammed Ali"I am become death, the destroyer of worlds"- Robert Oppenheimer </p><i></i>

The 2nd OVA is OVA eps 8-13b <p><img src=http://www.boomspeed.com/coreymasaki/tenchicast.bmp> Visit my message board!http://www.pub36.ezboard.com/btheevilanimedoomthingy</p><i></i>

Strannik posted an OAV timeline not too long ago. It should be at about page 5 or so by now, what with all the polls that have been revived lately. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START >: --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/mad.gif ALT=">:"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>As for the manga, no detailed timeline exists for it, but I'd place volumes 1 & 2 somewhere between OAV eps 6 & 7, and volumes 3-12 shortly after ep 13.5. <p><center><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/ryoko2.gif" width="73" height="81"><a href="mailto:babelfisherperson@hotmail.com"><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/akaijuyon.gif" width="91" height="20" alt="Red XIV" border="0"></a><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/tenchi2.gif" width="63" height="95"><br><br><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/tenchi_ryoko_wedding.jpg" width="520" height="348"><br>The REAL Happy Couple</center></p><i></i>

Wow, I always thought all the episodes in the Tenchi Muyo series OAV were the first OAV. Now I know why the new series will be the third OAV. <p><center> <img src=http://deragon25.netfirms.com/LightGuardian/tuna_11.jpg> </center> "I'm the greatest, and I can't possibly be beat!- Cassius Clay aka Muhammed Ali"I am become death, the destroyer of worlds"- Robert Oppenheimer </p><i></i>
