The Queens Knight

This series is great. The story grabs you in your heart and imagination. The character development is really good and I have found myself dreaming at night coming up with possible scenerios the story is going to take. It just grabs your mind! A totally fantastic , imaginative mystery and romance.

Fantasy-AWESOME!!! Real World-BLAH!!!

This book was great!! I loved the parts where it gets into the fantasy world and when Rieno saves Yuna and kisses her. But there wasn't very much fantasy in this volume, which really sucked, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the volumes!

Don't Judge it by the first volume

Like many first volumes of series, this one comes across as a bit disjointed and may leave you going, "Huh?" Don't stop. The second volume pulls everything together and starts what seems to be a great story. I had to immediately start the third volume, and now I'm dying for more! The first volume is necessary so you know the background and the characters- the second volume is where you get addicted. Give it another volume or two before you give up on the series, you most likely won't regret it.

Gets better in vol 2

Ok, the first volume has terrible dialogue translations. Don't bother to more than skim through it and don't let it fool you! The second volume is MUCH better and the story actually gets interesting, with less time in the real world. Firstly, I don't know what happened to the dialogue translations in the first volume, but whatever it was they fixed it in the second. It's actually interesting. Although it originally seemed like the series would take place mostly in the real world, it's now apparent that we are going to be spending most of our time in Phantasma. This is a good thing since there are tons of school oriented stories out there already. The female lead is starting to show some signs of actual independence which is a nice suprise as early as volume 2. Yes, she's still a self-absorbed slow little brat, but she's getting over it. Over all, this is an interesting series with promise and a number of volumes before the end. I would recomend all manga/manwah fans take a look at volume 2 before coming to any conclusions.
