Tenchi Muyo! Now what?

[lllsondowlll]

Well after watching tenchi muyo when I was younger I just recently got into the mood to spend some of my summer catching up on anime I found inspiring when I was a kid. One of those anime's were of course the tenchi series. I have watched the following.
Tenchi Muyo!
Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki OVA 2/3
Tenchi Universe
Tenchi in Tokyo
Tenchi movies 1-3
Tenchi GXP

Now I'm all out of tenchi to watch and it makes me sad especially after watching the third and final movie, finding that the tenchi I watched as a kid was only 1/8th of what actually existed. So now that I have renewed my love for the tenchi series and catching up on things I have never before seen and then suddenly watch it all end again was sad, so I went hunting around a bit and found information on a few mangas that claim to be a continuation of tenchi that were never aired as anime. I am thinking of buying them except I wish to buy those mangas only that I need and I noticed that some mangas are a repeat of the anime in manga form. I can't find a straight answer on which manga is actually a continuation of the series and which are the series in manga form. I would apreciate it if someone would point me in the right direction. I believe "All new tenchi muyo!" is a continuation but there is also a manga that is named "No need for tenchi" which confuses me because it claims to be a continuation of the OVA's but I also have skimmed over reviews about it and it sounds like a repeat of the series in manga form. I'm all confused, if anyone can point me in the right direction and order of the mangas that continue the series that would be splinded! Thanks.

hi, im not sure but i think the 'no need for tenchi' is another name for 'muyo' or some of the OVAs. i think i remember that some of the episodes were name things like ' no need for ...'

actually after just checking wikipedia it seems the word 'muyo' translates as 'unessacery'.

here check for yourself

Thank you for the reply and that certanly is interesting but what I'm looking for is a manga continuing and or a new story line from the tenchis I have already seen. In other words. I'm looking for a new tenchi muyo series in form of manga or anime.
