Description:
15-year-old high school freshman Seina Yamada has the worst luck in the galaxy ? and he's been drafted into the Galaxy Police! Thinking Seina to be like Tenchi Muyo himself, the lovely Amane Kaunakku of the Galaxy Police pays an interstellar call to the hapless Seina and bestows upon him the introductory manual to the Galaxy Police. Is it destiny or just mistaken identity of sorts? If all goes well for Seina he just may end up being the newest most eligible bachelor in the galaxy, too!
Episode 1: Seize the Day
Seina Yamada is not unlike most teenagers. But Seina suffers from a terrible misfortune. He happens to have the worst luck of anyone on Earth! When he rides his bike, it falls apart. When he hurries downstairs, he ends up in a crumbled heap. However, when a space craft nearly crash lands right on top of him, Seina’s luck takes a turn for the better…or does it?
Episode 2: Invasion
With Earth a mere flicker in his transport ship’s rear view mirror, Seina Yamada finds himself speeding towards the acclaimed GP Academy millions of light years from home. But the safety of a calm space flight is interrupted by the arrival of a prate armada intent on taking the peaceful vessel down! Seina knows his bad luck has plenty to do with the invasion. Things only appear to get worse as the feared Devil Princess arrives on the scene!
Episode 3: The Devil Princess of Jurai
Seina Yamada and his fellow crewmates find themselves guests aboard Lady Seto’s starship, Mikagami. Seina learns that before he can join the GP, he must convince Seto of his worthiness or be mind-wiped and sent back to Earth. Meanwhile, the beautiful pirate, Ryoko Balta, plots to bring Siena over to her side.
Episode 4: True Love, Truly Painful
Seina arrives at the GP Academy where he is reunited with a long lost friend. Not everyone is happy to see him as the malicious Seiryo Tennan lashes out at the young Earthling. Seina finds himself two new companions in the form of Roommates, but Seina fears his bad luck will ruin their relationship.
Episode 5: Seeing is Believing
Seina, Kenneth and Rajau sneak out of the dorms after curfew in the hopes of finding some action. They get more then they bargained for when Amane shows up and offers them an adventure beyond imagination. The situation turns serious when the boys discover Amane isn't herself.
