tl;dr:A manga that is incredibly shallow but is amusing enough for its short length. Lady Justice is about a high school girl superheroine. She has super speed, super strength, invincibility, flight, and the ability to sense malice in others. She’s completely overpowered compared to everyone else in the series. This includes the plain old criminals of course, but she’s also significantly more powerful than the superpowered villains she fights against. As such, there’s usually some sort of quirk in each story that prevents her from instantly resolving things. Sometimes it’s something like the villains having kidnapped someone or setup some sort of twisted game that shecan’t just power through. But most of the time it comes down to the fact that while she may be invincible, her clothes certainly aren’t, and she’s very easily embarrassed. Thus she often struggles to fight without exposing herself.

This manga ended after only two volumes and was clearly axed. But compared to most manga that end in similar circumstances, that really didn’t feel like that much of a problem here. This comes down to how it didn’t really feel like there was anything all that important left unresolved. There is no overarching plot. There is an overarching villain that never gets properly dealt with, but they’re not important. For the most part this is just a series of short entertaining standalone stories. There are no character arcs left incomplete or mysterious things about character’s background left unexplained. There is a bit of a romance, but it’s so minor that it being left incomplete isn’t that big of a deal.

The manga completely lacks any depth whatsoever, and that may have been a major fault if this manga was longer. But a manga as short as this wouldn’t have been able to accomplish anything anyway, so that it was focused purely on quick thrills and steady comedy actually works in its favor at this point. The art is also nothing too special, but works well for the combination of ecchi and superhero action that it’s portraying. I enjoyed the short time I spent reading it and was left with a reasonably positive final impression.
