Dur de noter une BD iconique de mon enfance. Pas le meilleur de la série mais une très bonne introduction. Le trio se crée et on rencontre pour la 1re fois les Vinéens.

Yoko Tsuno is a beautiful smart young Japanese woman who works as an engineer. She meets her friends, Vick and Pal, two guys who work on a television station, when she's asked to rob a building to check if the alarm system works perfectly and Vick and Pal mistake her for a bandit.

After the misunderstanding is solved, Vick propose her to work on a new program they're making about nature and exploration and Yoko agrees. Long story short, the trio ends up meeting the Vineans, an alien race who came to Earth after their planet was ruined. And things go nuts…

Yoko Tsuno is one of the few BDs that features a female protagonist in an active role and who's also smart and beautiful. This is extremely rare, since women in BDs don't have main roles and even if they make an appearance, it's short and they're just the male protagonist's love interest with no personality.

Yoko is a breath of a fresh air, since she doesn't end up with neither her male friends, but she mostly forms female friendships (though it was done because Leloup didn't want to upset all the male readers who had a crush on her).

Despite featuring sci-fi elements, the story is realistic.

If my review makes you interested in checking this series, go for it! You won't be disappointed!

Yoko Tsuno was my hero as a child.

I really can't put my finger to why I found this book boring but it wasn't of the same quality as the other Yoko Tsuno comics I read as child. Wouldn't recommend it
