When the planet Thanatos was destroyed, a young Maris was left with nowhere to go. Possessing strength six times that of a normal human made it difficult living on any other planet. She broke things everywhere she went and when the repair bills added up, Maris found herself in deep debt. Professional wrestling wasn't enough to keep the debts at bay so she took up work with the Space Patrol's Special Police! A call from her boss gives news that she hopes will change her life forever --she is being sent on a mission to save the kidnapped son of a wealthy politician. Her plan is to rescue the boy, but her motive is to steal his heart and gain his fortune in the process!
Ihrie and Fam are just two of the many explorers searching ruins for something called the 'ultimate power'. With the 'ultimate power' the owner has the ability to have any wish granted.

I think that if you liked Maris the Chojo you would also like Dragon Half not because of their plots but more because of similarities of the girls in the lead roles. These are two very comedic tales of girls who have disaster waiting for them around every corner, not to mention that they are both looking for love in all the wrong places. I feel that if you loved Maris you will love Mink just as much!

Now, he must learn how this mastermind is controlling all of the unfortunate happenings at school, and stop him from taking more innocent lives for his own selfish pleasure.
It's true, I love the 80's, and I think that Campus Special Investigator Hikaruon and Maris the Chojo absolutely reek of that era. They have a very similar style of music, and as you would guess, it's good ole tease your hair up, put on your spandex and rock to the 80's type of music. The animation and sound effects in these two OVAs reminded me of each other as well. Simply put, if you can enjoy the total cheesiness in the style of one of these anime, you will surely enjoy the other for the same reason!
