Gin Tama, Volume 7: You Always Remember the Things that Matter the Least
by, Hideaki Sorachi
(unpaged)
This time around Gin gets hit by a car and suffers amnesia; which isn't necessarily a bad thing since it causes him to be a better person. Of course, it doesn't last. Also, the Odd Jobs folks have their home demolished by a spaceship which was piloted by Gin's old friend, Tatsuma. But it's okay because Tatsuma sends two of the best carpenters in the galaxy to repair it. But Gin and the gang get too greedy and have the carpenters build on all kinds of stuff that makes it all collapse anyway. But through all this they do stop a downsized worker from blowing up Edo with a giant cannon. Other stuff that happened are: Gin and some other dude fight over the last copy of Shonen Jump only to find out it is last month's issue; Katsura helps a ramen shop owner get rid of some thugs; Gin and friends try to help an elderly man cope with his wife's illness, but all he wants to do is make fireworks; and finally, Kagura's father shows up to take her home.

  1. The amnesia / Justaway plot with Gin and Kondo happily working away makes me giggle just thinking about it. However lazy and selfish and obnoxious Gin is, somewhere down in there he's a good guy at heart, with or without his memory. :P And I love Katsura and the ramen shop! This series is goofball hijinx most of the time, but Sorachi sneaks in just enough semi-seriousness to give it a hint of depth.
