Et Cetera #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe fifth volume of the Tokyopop manga series Et Cetera continues the adventures of Mingchao, a young girl in the Old West who uses a magical amulet to transform into a powerful outlaw. This installment collects the ongoing story as she faces new challenges and enemies while searching for her missing father.
In "Beneath the Holy Bell," Blush stumbles upon Baskerville in Las Vegas, disoriented and missing pieces of his past, and pulls him into the fold of their ragtag crew. With Mingchao and Fino cornered into surrendering the Eto Guns to the local sheriff, Master Alternate devises a high-stakes scheme to reclaim them—just as the city’s hidden tensions begin to surface. Written by Tow Nakazaki, Katherine Schilling, and Jake Forbes, with art and inks by Nakazaki and Bench Comix, and cover art by Nakazaki and Al-Insan Lashley, this 2005 issue from Tokyopop blends mystery and momentum in a story that unfolds beneath the neon glow of a city full of secrets.
In "Beneath the Holy Bell," Jo and their companions find unexpected shelter in a remote Nevada town, only to realize the local priest’s kindness hides a deeper game—and suddenly, they’re the ones being hunted. With the frontier’s usual lawlessness twisted into something eerily sacred, the line between savior and schemer blurs in this sharp satire of Western myth.
In "Fragments of a Face," the enigmatic Cavanaugh rides into town with Mingchao and a ragtag crew, chasing the elusive Blush and the fugitive Alternate—who’s stolen Mingchao’s Eto Gun. But as the trail heats up, the real prize may not be the gun, but the hidden value of Mingchao’s Wedding Dress Coin, a secret only the desert wind seems to know.
