Karma Club Volume 1
For Kemmy, a girl from the Sticks, life in the big city is exciting. Her job making deliveries for Club Sushi is really only a cover for her real job--a Karma Club agent. In a world where Karma has replaced cash, there isn't much crime. But when something smells fishy, Kemmy and her Karma Club team are the first to notice. Together, they fight evil with good vibrations, making music that neutralizes bad Karma. But when a rash of serious crime oozes through the Big Melon, will their talents be enough to save the city? And what's with all that grody green goo?
Imagine a future world where teenagers are equals with grown-ups, money is earned by being a good person, and cities are called Megamalls!
In the year 222, after Armageddon, this world really exists! It's the home of the KARMA CLUB, a teenage crime-fighting team made up of Kemmy, Shay, Arcus, Phoebe and Karina. The CLUB delivers sushi as a secret cover-up to keep their real superteen identities safe from the TUNNEL, the evil organization behind all the dangerous bad guys the CLUB constantly finds themselves battling. The TUNNEL's goal is to make the world a dangerous and dark place!
Since money isn't paper-and-coin currency but instead measured by good deeds, called KARMA, the evil members of the TUNNEL forever plot to reverse all the good KARMA to bad KARMA. If the CLUB ever fails, bad guys will be wealthy and the Megamalls will be totally dangerous hives of crime! Will the CLUB ever find out who's behind all the plans to reverse CLUB?
Every day, the KARMA CLUB gets a little closer to erasing evil from the streets and making the world a safer place!

English Version By: DJ Milky
Kemmy
16-year-old, pink-haired vocalist. She is unaware that she is the princess to the original B family. In this family are two brothers: one evil, 'B' behind B-Rok (unknown to reader), and Kemmy's father (a good guy, though presently presumed dead). On her sneakers is the original logo that represents the now defunct kingdom. She is an all-around skilled crime-fighter and the Karma Club's ace member.
Shay
17-year-old African American bassist with advanced technical intelligence. Very mature. Excellent Sky Boarder.
Phoebe
16-year-old Asian bassist with too much attitude ... but she's also an incredible creator of ready-made tools, weapons, and gadgets when the Karma Club needs them the most.
Arcus
16-year-old blond guitarist who SkyBoards like a pro, is very athletic, and gets the squad out of sticky situations. A bit of a 'goof' with funny but dumb witticisms.
Karyna
15-year-old Hispanic keyboardist who loves boys and all things feminine. She's girly, but she also possesses superior skills when it comes to finding clues because she's aware of appearances.
Big Ed
Watcher of the Karma Club. His 'cover' identity: the owner of Club Sushi.
Dawn Queen
Currently the figure-head evil leader of the TUNNEL.
Phatlantis Phive
Name of the Karma Club's music group.
sounds cool!
