Read more about Fran Madaraki at: Wikipedia Official Site: Offical company site is a comedy horror manga series by . It began serialization in Champion Red magazine in September 2006 and is now completed. Individual chapters are published in tankōbon volumes by Akita Shoten, with 7 volumes released and a final issue set for 20 February 2012. Fran is a girl created by Dr. Naomitsu Madaraki, the world's top biologist. Originally intended to be his assistant, she has overtaken his work and home while he is away. Her life is rather uneventful until various medical cases begin falling into her lap, ranging from resurrection to aesthetic surgery. There is a fair amount of black humor, nearly each story ending with Fran having created some sort of gruesome monstrosity or misfortune of and upon her patients, though seemingly content with the results. 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. The final chapter, entitled "Dream", was published as "Episode" 61 of the manga. Notably, the chapter features no elements of the "typical" Franken Fran formula. Instead, most of the chapter consists of Fran being trapped on a sunken ship beneath the ocean, where oxygen deprivation soon leads her to experience a surreal dream - Okita, now a normal human, is her brother, Veronica is no longer a bio-weapon, etc. The dream culminates in an enormous party, which every character to have ever appeared in the manga attends. The "party" then (from the reader's point of view) concludes just as the most important guest - Dr. Madaraki - arrives, a tearful Fran throwing open the door to welcome him in.
Fran Madaraki has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
