Tenchi Muyo! Daughter of Darkness (天地無用!真夏のイブ Tenchi Muyō! Manatsu no Eve?), is the second of three movies set in the Tenchi Muyo multi-verse.

Unlike the first and third films - which carry on the story told in Tenchi Universe - it is an adaptation of the tenth novel by original OVA scriptwriter Naoko Hasagawa, set in its own continuity taking place after the first OVA and ignoring the subsequent sequels.

[edit] Synopsis

Seven hundred years before, a young Prince Yosho had met a young girl before the annual Startica celebration on Jurai. However, it turned out that the girl was actually a demon named Yuzuha and was driven away by the palace guards.

Seven hundred years later, Yuzuha discovers that Yosho was now on Earth... and has a grandson - Tenchi Masaki - who is surrounded by all sorts of women. Looking for revenge, the demon obtains hair from Tenchi and combines it with hair from herself and creates a girl named Mayuka.

[edit] Startica

Startica (スターティカ Sutātika?) is a summer holiday celebrated in Jurai, and it plays an important role throughout the movie. It combines aspects of Christmas with the Japanese Star Festival.

[edit] Music

The music for this movie was composed by Koh Ohtani. The ending theme song is Manatsu no Eve [Midsummer's Eve], performed by Mariko Nagai.
