Great Manga!!

GREAT MANGA!!!! I'm in my twenties and this is one of the best mangas

Addiction

I've gotten my friends where I live addicted to Manga books. We all went to Tokyopop.com and looked at the books and most of us wanted to read MARS. And then my friend found it in our school library and we were instanly hooked. MARS has a storyline that is simplistic and easy to follow, nothing where you have to memorize which robot is which and whose screwing who. MARS is about love, its how a good girl can chagne a bad boy forever. Kira and Rei are the obvious main characters of the book, and the story revolves around their love. I personally love it because of the leassons they learn and the realistic problems they face (such as jealous ex-girlfriends, jealous bestfriends, and a world of sex).

Not just for girls.

My group of friends and I are really into manga books. I never really was, however. One of them handed me MARS #1 and I read it within 3 periods. I flipped out. I needed the next one. MARS was an addiction. A combination of wonderfully drawn artwork and a twisted story. I say twisted because it has everything, humor, violence, love, fear, sadness. I loved it. I still have not read 11-15 but am eager to. The cover says something about it being a story for teen girls but I am a 16 year old guy and I still liked it. I think other manga fans will too, despite their gender!

Love and Motorcycles

There are inumerous shojo manga (girl's comics) artists in Japan. To pick one that would describe them all would be to choose Fuyumi Soryo's Mars.The story follows the standard good girl meets bad boy and love developes despite all odds. What could very easily fall into the "overbeaten" path has actually blazed its own way into being a highly believable and totally addictive tale. Fifteen volumes in all, TokyoPop has released about five or six volumes so far.The story revolves around the shy and reclusive artist Kira Aso and the overly popular motorcyclist Rei Kashino. Kira has always found the rebelious Rei to be obnoxious and loud, way too much for her quiet artistic life to accept. When a chance meeting in the park ignites a stirring romance that blossoms in the very first volume, readers will become totally enthralled with every twist and turn fate deals out for the two young lovers.Angsty and yet humorous (take a look at Tatsuya's shirts and Rei's cigarette pack for a little extra english humor...), Mars proves Fuyumi Soryo as one of Japan's great shoujo manga artist/authors. The artwork is stunning and brings the characters to life on every page (sometimes I could just 'see' the motions of the motorcyle racing, particularly in volume three). What could have been very stereotypical and very forgetable is, in actuality, simply stunning! It's a great read through and through! I would recommend this to people who like Marmalade Boy, Paradise Kiss, Maison Ikkoku, and Peach Girl.

Suprising

I read alot of mangas but I'm not really into the high school dramas but I read this one and it just captured me. It's about every high school girls students dream, to be the one that goes out with the most popular guy in school. That was not the same for Kira Aso, who just wanted everyone to just leave her alone and let her paint. That's when Rei Kashino, the most popular guy in the school starts to fall head over heals for Kira.They find out alot about each others past good and bad but that does not bother then because they love each other and nothing or no one is going to stand in there way. I don't want to ruin the rest of the story cause it starts to get really good. It's pretty much about how a hight school love can turn into something even greater. Trust me this is one manga you are going to want to read
