For a manga with a transgressive-sounding title TORTURE GIRLS CLUB AFTER SCHOOL, it's actually pretty mild with its comical violence.
But it does have Kiyoka, who occasionally dispenses a few martial arts moves.
From the manga TSUGUMOMO: another study in masochism: hot female master abusing her hapless male servant.
And as long as I've devoted a post to Zulena, love interest to Natongo in the BROTHERS OF THE SPEAR feature, here's one for her sister-queen Tavane, who was introduced a year or two earlier as the queen to Natongo's white brother Dan-El.
Roughly forty years before that OTHER "warrior princess," the backup strip "Brothers of the Spear" debuted a "sister of the spear." Zulena, as a prospective mate for regular hero Natongo. From Dell Comics's TARZAN #83 (1956). Though she wasn't the first Black African fighting-female in comic books, she may have been the first regularly featured one, even in a supporting role. She also had the longest run, since the feature endured into the 1970s.
