This was SO cute!

Saint Tail is the sweetest manga I've read. Saint Tail is a book you should defiantly read. This is definitely a girl's book but I've heard of guys reading it. This truly a heart warming story about a girl named Meimi who is a student by day and a thief by night. No she is not the bad thief but a "Robin Hood" for her town. She takes back things that were taking or stolen from the innocent and unknowing. Not only does Meimi struggle with her secret identity she struggles with her schoolwork, love life, and not to mention BOYS! She is helped by a nun in training that tells her about people who need help or someone's problems. This series is definitely books you should have on your bookshelf! Even though they're around ten dollars they're worth your money!!!!!!!!!! This is SOOOO cute and adorable! You just have to have it!!

Saint Tail vol. 1

What could I say about this book in one word...FANTASTIC!!!!! In this book it tells you how Saint Tail started to send calling cards to Asuka Jr. This book has many chapters in it but when you read the first chapter it becomes a little too hard to put down this book. The art work in this book is wonderful. Also in this book Megumi Tachikawa has a bonus story, two to be truthful and bonus pictures. I know I like these books and I bet you will to like these too. So trust me and buy this book, better yet buy the whole collection.

The cutest little thief!

This is, quite honestly, the sweetest thing I have read in a long time. Megumi Tachikawa is new to the US manga scene but I think this one measures up to the well-established and revered Card Captor Sakura by the ever-wonderful CLAMP. Not only is the artwork a clean and pretty style, the storyline is refreshingly light and fun, with not too much romance trying to overpower it.The story is interesting-something of a take on Robin Hood. A teenage girl, Haneoka Meimi, seems pretty normal by day-a student at St. Paulia Academy, a carefree girl. But at night, she becomes the famous thief Kaitou (phantom) Saint Tail-a thief who steals back things that have already been stolen for their proper owners. Chasing Saint Tail is the very determined son of a local detective-Asuka Junior, who just happens to be in Meimi's class at school to boot. Add to that a nun-in-training as a best friend and a million magic trics, and you get something truly new.I won't wreck the plot here, but the first volume really delivers, and the scene at the end with Meimi and Asuka Junior is too cute for words. Not only that, but you get the added bonus of two original short stories from Tachikawa-"Portrait of a Morning Glory" and "A Music Box for Spring". In my opinion, the second is especially good.So, for fans of shoujo manga in particular, I wholeheartedly recommend this! You won't be disappointed (and as a side note, check out the animated series, it's great too!)

To cute for words!

I actually do not have the one in the picture mine is some sort of special edition kind or something with two other stories by Megumi Tachikawa before Saint Tail came to be. Portrait Of A Morning Glory and Music Box Of Spring. Which are very wonderful romantic stories the main girls became the charector starting points for Meimi and Seira. Anywas the artwork is buetiful! And I love Asuka Jr. and Meimi's fights! When she wackd him with the broom and wrote ' I hate you' on his face. I couldn't stop laughing! Probably my favorite part was Saint Tail's calling card to Asuka Jr's on his face! That was hilarious! And the kawaii promise. You wanna know what it was? Well buy it and find out! If you are a romantic or a shoujo fanatic like me you'll love Mysteriuos Thief Saint Tail!

Cool!

Kaitou Saint Tail (Or, translated here as "Saint Tail") is about a young girl named Meimi who transforms into Saint Tail, a theif who takes stolen items and returns them to their owners. Her rival is a boy in her Catholic school class- Asuka Jr. Asuka is the son of a detective who wants nothing more than to capture Saint Tail to get his name made for the future. With the help of her best friend Seira, who is a sister-in-training, Saint Tail has many daring(and somewhat romantic...)encounters with her enemy Asuka Jr. Saint Tail #1 also includes two bonus stories that Ms. Tachikawa wrote earlier in her career. Megumi Tachikawa is an amazing manga artist and this is a fine example of her beautiful work. This is a great beginning shoujo manga, and I would reccomend it to anyone. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
