I say unfortunatley because the books are insanley over priced. $17 a book? no thank you. The internets your easiest ticket to getting manga without tearing your hair out at the price. I also have several other links to Manga sites, if anyones intrested. Peace, -Mooneva You most welcome, thirstygirl,

Are we sure it wasn't written by Penny Jordan in 1979? And Mooneva? thank you for the mangarun link. Where I am does not have a thriving manga market and what there is in the shops is shrink-wrapped. So whether you are buying from there or the internet it's all a bit of a gamble. The ability to check through first? Brilliant Yeah, I love me some manga but this? this looks like the Bad Stuff.

I've been reading manga scince the wee age of 12, so i'm familiar with typical manga artwork. This is most likely drawn by someone who had a fixation of drawing manga from the 80's. Dead serious, this is 80's style manga. Just look up 'Glass Mask.' It was insanely popular, and you can tell when you compare the 2, that they're similarly the same style. ((the noses are a dead give away)) This fooled me into thinking it was done by an indoneasian artist. They have this style everywhere in indo. Bottom line, this is typical 'cheaply' drawn manga. Really really. This artist has a really big problem with the body atonomy. You can see it clearly whenever the characters whole body is included on the page. This being so typically common, I'd give it a C, but thats just me :P If you cant wait for more manga, You could read some online via http://Mangarun.com Unfortunatley they dont come with a synopsis with the manga, so try & google a blurb up before you read any, I recomend 'B-Men Kazoku' Even though its sorta childish, and the heroine has boobs the size of a bowling balls, its quite well drawn. I'm a sucker for the art. Peace -Mooneva Suisan, your onto something.

Done badly... and it's either painful or good for a laugh. I'd consider these except for the pink ink (oooh, Dr Seuss flashback-- the something? that drinks pink ink? Heh.) Suisan-- the hair and chins are very much a typical manga thing. I wonder how-- if?-- these are being marketed and distributed. I've got a friend who sends me free manga, and some's coming my way reeeeeally soon, so now I find myself hoping that one of these is in the batch! If there is one, and it's not *this* one, I'll review it. (Even if it *is* pink. Uck.) Done right, I love me some manga. Done badly… and it’s either painful or good for a laugh.

I'm not happy with these people's chins. Sorry. But it's distracting that the lower half of their faces seem to be so flat. And pointy. And the hair thing? Seems to be a manga trait. No one has simple hair--it's blowing all over the place or pink or something. I'm thinking that in general, manga romance ain't for me. But I'm glad you reviewed it. That dialogue excerpt was worth the entire review! Interesting grade on the artwork. I’m not happy with these people’s chins. Sorry.

But at first I was like, "whoa... what just happened... I thought he left... why is he back?" and "why is he just pulling her in when he was kissing her in the other panel..." It's pretty cheesy, but good for a laugh. Heh. i got the hang of it after a while.

I can't even manage graphic novels because the whole picture / word thing confuses me. Am I supposed to read up and down? Left to right? Both? It's too much work. I’ll never be able to read Manga.
