I was intrigued by this manga-style graphic novel, and enjoyed reading it. It's about Aki, a regular high school girl who discovers a magic bicycle while cleaning out her garage one day. Aki's grandfather helps her understand that it's her destiny to become "Biker Girl", a superhero who must avenge her cousin's death. Aki is hesitant to take on the role but learns to trust herself, and her bike (complete with a giant snake that comes alive in difficult situations). Her friend-turning-boyfriend supports her, and the surprise twist at the end revealing the identity of the villain is great. If you want a fast-paced, fun alternative superhero story, try this one out.
