Good Finale

This series ends here. A fun wacky story featuring two pre-teens. This volume jabs at Harry Potter, Sports & Ghosts animes. Lots of fanservice with no sense to show breast but why not. Good series silly ending. Multiverse fun.

Naughty, Naughty!

Abenobashi: Magical Shopping Arcade is one of the strangest manga books I have ever read since FLCL. But unlike FLCL, I understood this book! The story jumps around alot and you need to read it a couple times in order to understand what's going on. Sasshi is a young boy who is into books, videogames and trading cards. But when his friend, Arumi's, grandfather breaks the family gardian statue, everything goes nuts! Transporting them into different versions of their shopping mall. Along the way they meet different versions of their family members and friends in these worlds and also must complete strange, meaningless and even bizzare tasks! Full of comedy, love and a little of drama and sci-fi this book covers all forms of genres! And, much like FLCL, it makes fun of alot of other anime and manga series and also has alot of...mature comments and pictures *wink*! My friend gave me this book and I liked it very much, but not being able to understand it was a little troublesome, but overall this series gets 5 stars out of 5 and is a buy for all manga readers! My name is Amone! Adios!
