: TMNT - THE CAUSE AND EFFECT SAGA :

Genre: Sci-Fi, Suspense, Family, Friendship, Hurt/Comfort, Tragedy and finally some Romance
Overview: Cause and Effect is a multi-part story centered around the adult turtles and their family/friends. It focuses on overarching storylines, character growth, and the importance of relationships with family, friends, and romantic interests alike. Each book has its own theme, its own tone, its own message. They all interconnect, though, and show that the problems one faces in their life are the production of other's decisions and how they choose to solve those problems will, in turn, affect those around them.
Universe: It's set in the 2k3 universe (in which seasons 1-3 and some of 4 took place) with minor elements from the 2007 movie and comics. Some description elements are taken from the 2k12 series as well.
