a great story, but it's not in English

That's right. This is the expensive Japanese Version. Buy it if you're a big Yugi fan that can read in Japanese. This won't be out in English for a loooong time. For more info, see my review for tome 6. To read YuGiOh more often, read Shonen Jump magazine.

I Love Yugioh and I'm not afraid to admit it!

I love Yugioh, as one of the first manga's I really got into I'm totally devoted. The anime is good (the American version sucks, though.) but the manga is better. There is always something happening in each one, And Yami is SO SUPER PSYCHO, I love it!

The continuing awesomeness!

Again, brilliant! This volume continues where the first left off, and introduces us to Shadi! Again more graphic violence, which makes the story even better!

The true story behind the first episode!

Remember in the first episode where Kaiba rips up the Blue Eyes owned by Yugi's grandpa, and Yugi then duels him and wins with Exodia? Well, this is the original story behind it: Death-T! Kaiba's been wanting revenge ever since Yugi actually defeated him at Magic and Wizards(the original name for Duel Monsters), so he blackmails him, more or less, into facing his amusement park from heck. Kaiba wants Yugi dead, but if somehow he actually manages to get by the first 4 stages, he'll face Kaiba in a rematch. And yes, it's going to be exactly the same as in the first episode... or is it? Let's just say that there will be quite a few surprises for people familiar with, "The Heart of the Cards." I happen to notice; that there's an extreme lack of Yami Yugi in this volume(he only shows up briefly to poison Mokuba and save Jonouchi). But don't worry, he'll get to show up next volume. Also, not only do we get introduced to a completely new perverted character(who, get this--- is just a baby!), but lots of stuff in this will more than likely give them nightmares--- especially one character named the Chopman, a serial killer(yes, a serial killer) Kaiba hires to off the group. It's stuff like this that reminds me why I love the Yu-Gi-Oh manga:1, All the characters are a bit more extreme than in the anime, 2, Some characters actually die in the manga, 3, The card game, while still important, is not as much of a focus as it is in the anime(which even creates HUGE filler storylines to have more of the card battles), 4, The duels themselves are much more violent than in the anime, and 5, the art just looks so cool! Too bad the anime sugar-coated everything in it, and then 4Kids came and sugar-coated it again, just so the kids could watch! But with this volume, we can at least see how it is originally intended, and it's no exception to the reasons of why I love it so much. So in the end, if you want to see the "mature" version of the Yu-Gi-Oh your kid brother or sister watches, I recommened this volume!

Yugi as you've never imagined!

You thought Seto Kaiba was evil?See him before he mellowed...When Yugi and Joey are invited to Kaiba's mansion, they have no idea they are walking right into a trap set by the revenge minded Kaiba. When he claims takes them to his new Duel Monsters-themed amusement park, he threatens to kill Yugi's grandfather, unless Yugi submits to a special attraction: Death-T! Yugi has no choice to agree, and Joey goes withn him... soon they are joined by Tristan, and by Tea, and together they must fight their way through the murderous circus, full of attractions that threaten to send them to an early grave!Gaze upon the trilogy of terror: A sci-fi set involving a laser-tag match to the death... a haunted mansion where a serial killer lies in wait... and a hideous trap that can only be described as "Terror Cubed!"It's Yugi as you couldn't possibly imaganie. Say a prayer for our our heroes, for this is certainly no cartoon...
