Lupin III 3

It’s really funny, there’s lots of sex, and I love the way the plots twist and turn in unexpected directions. My favorite naughty moment in this volume is when a lady spy, after laying Lupin, lets him know she wants him to smuggle out some microfilm. When he asks where it is, she says he already has it, then he looks down at his presumably naked manstuff and curses Monkey Punch for being dirty.
There’s lots of funny stuff like that, too. At one point, someone swears in a phrase like “Mother$#%^#$er!”, and below the panel it says “editor’s note: $#%^#$=FUCK” and they use that series of asteriks throughout the chapter liberally. There’s a couple of two-part stories, my favorite having to do with Fujiko being a slut, and we get to meet a very un-Goemon-like Goemon. But yes. I love this series. I think only buying a volume once a year makes it even better.
