Taiho shichau zo, which was named "You're under arrested!" by the Dark horse publishing, (only to have officially published a handful of chapters before dropping the translation altogether) is a fairly light seinen with occasional nudity in a few chapters featuring the two police women, Natsumi and Miyuki going on a episodic romp each chapter, focusing on either capturing a criminal, doing miscellaneous police work, or doing just whatever 1980's anime girls do.

The characters are fairly straight forward, there's Natsumi which is the strong girl who can probably lift a whole truck over her head and throw it over the entire country of Russia, and ... Miyuki who tells off Natsumi for destroying a completely fine working truck, as well as having less strength but more of a brain.
outside of that there's not much else character wise outside of maybe a reoccurring villain or coworker, perhaps the chief of the precinct.

And the art? it's styling. it does the job PEFECTLY. there's high amounts of intricate detail into all the vehicles, if you asked me to think of what a old manga/anime style looks like this is the first thing I think of.

it's a fairly good shot at a actiony manga featuring female leads.
but most of the enjoyment comes from how much you enjoy some of the anime stereotypes, the resolution at times is a bit predictable, it's more so one of those switch your brain off and enjoy short manga, not so much the beginning but further on the chapters get better.
(although as of writing this review the translations both fan and official are incomplete)
