This is a bind-up of the first 3 Magic Knights Rayearth Books, and it is so much better to buy this than the other three separately! This book reads from right-to-left like the Japanese manga, instead of left-to-right like the original translations. For about about the price of just one manga, you get the first half of the series all in one book. Because it is such a thick book, the binding gets a little weak toward the center of the book, but if you don't put your manga through extreme trials (i.e., throwing it in your backpack all day), it should hold up just fine. Also, because this is three books bound in one, you don't get any color pages other than the front and back cover-- it's straight black and white throughout. If this doesn't bother you, I'd definitely recommend this book for you! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the translation still kind of sucks... instead of leaving little notes (such as Ferio's accent), they GIVE him an accent (he says things like "y'all"). :)
