Franken Fran Omnibus 1-2

Product Information

I Am Not Shazam: The title character is named Fran Madaraki. She has never actually been referred to as Franken Fran; that's just to hammer in the Frankenstein reference.

Fair Cop: Rumiko Kuhou is a cute young policewoman who occasionally runs into Fran and the result of her work.Alternate Character Interpretation: In-universe, people tend to have wildly different opinions on him. The general public (at least, those who know about him) tend to regard him with fear and awe, Fran completely idolizes him, and Gavrill loathes him. Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Extra arms attachable for more intense surgeries, so whenever she gets more amoral, it veers into this trope. There is a fair amount of dark humor with nearly each story ending with Fran either creating a gruesome monstrosity or bringing some kind of misfortune upon her patients, though usually she is seemingly content with the results due to her extreme life-preserving mindset. Continuity is often rather loose, as individual chapters rarely reference one another. Though recurring characters outside the main cast do exist, arc-based storylines are practically nonexistent.

In "Twenty Four", a ten-year-old girl inherits a vast fortune, but can't technically spend it because she's so young. The remaining 24 members of her extended family, including some politicians and Yakuza members, try to get some of the money out of her in the form of donations to charities. Due to a (self-inflicted) explosion, the girl's brain is transplanted into a clone of her which her mother had made in an attempt to replace her. Everyone else has their brains transplanted into stuffed animals, which in turn are all connected to the girl's original body. Fran says "unless they all agree on it, they can't even lift a finger." One of those brains is of her uncle, who has recently learned how crappy a life she had. It's hinted that he would purposefully disagree just to keep the rest of the relatives in the hell they've built. When Veronica starts to cry in the epilogue chapter for the original run, after Gavrill and Fran have spent much of the chapter bullying her, both of them comfort their youngest sister in what is the only sisterly moment the three of them share in the entire series. Deity of Human Origin: A cult decides to turn the body of their priestess into a living factory, while caring for the large fetus she's developed. Eventually, the fetus starts to move, and upon destroying the whole building and combining with the cult members inside develop into the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Yes, you read that right. Airvent Escape: Fran tries this but her butt is too big. Solution? Cut off her legs and walk home on her hands. Mad Scientist: What little we see of his recent work suggests that Fran is nowhere near his level yet. Apparently he's been creating and breeding Kaiju.

Kaleidoscope Hair: According to the cover of volume 6, she has purple-colored hair and according to a later volume, it's reddish-brown. As a shapeshifter, she can probably change her hair color. Or the artist can. Love Freak: She's a "lover of love" and eager to help perform procedures that she thinks will bring couples together. That'll give you only a slightly higher chance of a not-that-bad ending. Loophole Abuse: She is distressingly effective at exploiting technical loopholes in her moral imperative to preserve life to the greatest degree possible to punish terrible people when pushed far enough. Other cases have been mentioned, but in the aforementioned incident with the university students at the lake, she uses bizarre — though logically sound and internally self-consistent — reasoning to interpret one's protest that they're "allies of justice" as "we volunteer to be living organ donors to save your friends and patients." Tomato in the Mirror: Whenever Fran needed clones for anything, she usually comes to Kuhou for the necessary "genetics". Due to her method of cloning (which was Cell Mitosis done on a full human being), the implication is that Kuhou seen in subsequent chapters isn't technically the same girl that Madaraki keeps kidnapping off the streets. Given Fran's loose moral ethic, she sees no problem in this. Butter Face: Inverted. He has a handsome face, but the body of a cat. When he needs to go out in public, though, he'll use a human bodysuit that makes him look more like a standard handsome guy.
