When Tenchi sets out for the bright lights of Tokyo, his harem of scandalous space vixens won’t take their abandonment lying down! The jilted lovers use an inter-dimensional tunnel to keep tabs on Tenchi and visit him—in bed—any time they please! The claws come out when the girls find out Tenchi has a super cute new girlfriend—and her intentions are anything but honorable!
