The three major series continuities are Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, Tenchi TV/Universe, and Tenchi in Tokyo. The first series, TM!R, is the original OVA (Original Video Animation) which introduces the core characters. The other two are spin-offs that utilize the same characters, with the addition of Kiyone Makibi, though the back story is quite different from the original OVAs. The first of the spin-offs was Tenchi Muyo! TV (... known as Tenchi Universe), in 1995; it is a twenty-six episode TV series that retells the original series differently.
GXP Seikishi Monogatari is another anime series being planned by Masaki Kajishima, announced in the same interview where he ... revealed plans for the third Tenchi Muyo! OVA series and the GXP series. It will only be loosely connected to the Tenchi series in that the main character is Tenchi's half-brother, a character that Mr. Kajishima reveals he has had in mind since the beginning of the Tenchi Muyo! OVAs. Seikishi will be a sci-fi series set in an alternate universe where humans pilot giant robots powered by "magic power reactors". This series is unlikely to appear soon, since Mr. Kajishima states in the interview that the third Tenchi Muyo!
The TENCHI MUYO SPECIAL begins soon after the sixth episode of the original series. Tenchi and friends, along with the scientist Washu, have returned to Tenchi's grandfather's shrine. As the story begins, Ryoko and Aeka are still in fierce competition for Tenchi. After a rather discouraging encounter with Tenchi in the bathroom, Ryoko heads downstairs to find Mihoshi and Sasami absorbed in manga that the had borrowed from Grandfather's library. Upon inquiring, Ryoko is told that it is Shojo manga they are reading. Shojo manga is a type of manga aimed at a female audience often containing romantic fantasies.
