Groundbreaking Manga

Hikaru, Umi and Fuu were summoned to Cephiro to save Princess Emeraude from the evil Zagato, but before they can become Legendary Magic Knights, they must first get some wicked cool weapons! With the help of Ferio the swordsman, Presea the pharle (weapon maker), Clef the greatest magician in the land and the cute fluffy Mokona, these girls are sure to go far! But what about that chick in the skimpy outfit, Alcione, sent by Zagato to kill them? Can they use their magic to protect themselves? And where does Mokona always disappear to whenever there¡¦s a battle? How does she manage to look so cute? What is her secret?!? To find out the answers to all these questions and more, buy the second volume of the MKR series!! =^-^= 1. Story: Great story, very classical Shoujo storyline, but definitely original and captivating. I loved it! 2. Love Interest: Come on guys, it¡¦s a Shoujo manga; it¡¦s got the cutest love stories ever, but in the first cycle only Fuu gets a love interest, but boy! What a guy she gets! Ferio is really cute, and he¡¦s the only shonen that doesn¡¦t have shoulders out to here, and stands mountains tall compared to the girls. He isn¡¦t even wrapped up in cloaks, or have tons of hair, but he does have the coolest, wicked cool sword!!! (Don¡¦t worry parents, nothing offensive to the romance, and there isn¡¦t even any kissing ƒ¼.) 3. Artwork: Gorgeous. And you can trust my opinion; I draw manga, so I know good artwork when I see it, seriously. Mokona and Fuu are not drawn to my tastes in the first cycle; Mokona has these weird cheeks, but that¡¦s just me. The rest of the artwork will have you drooling (especially over Zagato) and the character design is scrumptious, but some of the battle scenes are confusing until you get the hang of them and know what to look for. 4. Translation: Great translation; great fonts. Princess Emeraude and Zagato both have their own personal fonts, a really neat stylistic quirk. It really adds depth to the story. There is a small problem cuz Japanese isn¡¦t written like English, so the speech bubbles are taller than they are wide, but that¡¦s usually not a problem. ¡¥Why don¡¦t you¡¦ is spelled ¡¥Whydoncha¡¦ and Ferio charmingly greets the girls with, ¡¥who are y¡¦all?¡¦ but overall it was perfect. 5. Quality: Excellent Quality, it¡¦s a beautiful book that will not fall apart like the Sailor Moon manga reportedly does. It reads from right to left; Japanese form, but since I can read and write Arabic, it came naturally to me. On the last page is a quick, useful tutorial to show you how to read authentic manga in its original form. Words don¡¦t lead off the page or anything, and the paper is beautiful. 6. Nudity: NONE (Only two skimpy outfits; nothing to worry about) 7. Price: Ok, now, as much as I love manga, ten bucks for a 120-page comic book is kind of a lot. I have to buy everything online, so I¡¦m under my parent¡¦s thumb, and though I would gladly produce the money myself, they don¡¦t approve of it. ƒ¼

Wow!

Once again, I am impressed with Clamp's artwork and storyline. The story starts of where Ferio joins the girls, and after a major showdown with Alcionie, they go their seperate ways. Unlike in the anime, the Fuu/Ferio relationship is shown more in depth, and is much more romantic and fluffier than in the anime. Also, he doesn't hit on Umi, although she is the first one to figure out that Fuu has feelings for Ferio, while Hikaru is clueless, as usual. The artwork is amazing, and the character development is noteworthy. :)

This manga is one of the best that I have ever read! ^_^

This is one of the very best mangas that I have ever read! It is so interesting! It has everything that I want in a manga: action, fantasy, great illustration and wonderful charaters with great personalities. I throughly enjoyed it and I'm sure that anyone who will read it for the first time will love it as much as I do. (Even after so many times that I have re-read it!) This manga (and the rest of the series) is a great buy and I'm positive that anybody who reads this book won't be disappointed! ^_^

Rayearth is wonderful

Written for a younger audience, this manga contains a lot of humor and cute pictures. However there is a whimsy that is also enjoyed by older readers as well, as a message that can be appreciated by everyone. I have read all of the manga. It is a wonderful series. I highly recommend it, as so long as you are willing to read all of it. This manga is one of the only reasons that I actually buy Mixx (or now Tokyo Pop). CLAMP is very well known for their wonderful artwork and sudden plot twists. This is a manga to read, savoring the artwork, the characters, and the plot. Have a wonderful day!

For any Anime and Manga Lover. Go Rayearth

If you are one of those people who loves Manga (Japanese motionless comics) or Anime (Japanese animation) than this is a must. Made by Clamp (an all female team based in Japan) created the manga and the 46 fascinating TV episodes. Three characters Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu, and there trusty helper Mokona go to the land of Cephiro to save the Princess Emeruade. Wonderfully drawn written and animated, this is a must for any fan of Manga or Anime. This made by a shojo (girl comic) team has not only reached female readers, but also male readers in a large number. Not only because of how its written, but it was drawn to attract Male readers as well. (Got me personally! :) This is a Must
