Manga Books

Circumstances in AiBaby start coming to a head as Kippei's older sister makes one last effort to make Yuzu's mother take her child back. Yuzu overhears this and starts to forget about her mama.

Viz can only be praised for bringing N. America titles such as this, and for being able to even start a "shoujo" line of manga. To be sure, there are some problems with the printing reproduction of this title, but the proofreading and typesetting is excellent (not perfect, but who is?), and they have remained faithful to the original cover art.

I continue to be dissappointed in all major manga publishers for not reproducing interior colour pages *in* colour. Surely Viz, who is virtually printing money with their shounen titles, has the money to do a few pages in colour. Still, the salient point is their ability to expand their line of titles, bring us great stories such as this, and not overextend themselves, such as ADV has done.

i read this book when it firts came out it is an all action with some twist in the story so you should read akiko on the planet smoo Akiko in the shrubed islands and akiko and the grate wall of trued and akiko in alen relepors castle because you wont understand some of the thing that happen in this story. i read this book in less than 24 hours. This is a must read

I finally have my copy of AD, and I'm happy.
If you have already read the e-comic you have tu buy it! specially if you want to know what happen before Lexx meet Chel.
If you haven't read it, you're missing a great story ( what I like to call a perfect combination between shoujo and shonen)with action, romance, and shirtless aliens XD this comic it's the begin of all that. I't really worth to have alien dice in paper.

This series, Alien Nine, as I've said, is an absolute masterpiece! The art is laid back and decieving, the story is second to few, and... whoa!
As I, the Scarfed Kai-kun, have said in other reviews of the series, YOU MUST READ THIS SERIES NOW!!!!

It's Finally here!
With the manga boom over the past couple of years, I've been waiting for the book publication of one of my favorite anime series: All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku!
The back of the book reads as follows:
"When inventor Kyusaku Natsume transfers the brain of a rescued cat into a top secret android body, he doesn't lose a possible pet...he gains a daughter (har har har)! Nuku Nuku may appear to be a teenage girl, but her oh-so-sexy exterior hides both the superhuman strength of the world's most advanced android chassis and the lightening-quick reflexes of a domestic feline (not mine!) She'll need these abilities to defend her new brother, Ryunosuke, from the forces of Mishima Heavy Industries, a giant conglomerate run by the world's most ruthless businesswoman, Akiko Mishima-and she just happens to be Ryunosuke's mother! Nuku Nuku might be determined to protect her brother, but her catlike cunning and mechanical muscle may not be enough to stop a custody battle that will soon become an all-out war!"
These stories follow closely to the original OAV Nuku Nuku (perhaps NNTV in one case). A general knowledge might be helpful in understanding what's going on, but it shouldn't be that difficult to follow if one is new to the stories. The price is a bit steep ($14.99), but there are some fun things that come with it!
This book has lots of fan-friendly stuff! It includes animanga (color stills set up in a comic book fashion) and several original short stories, including one with the original gray-haired Nuku Nuku. Fans will also enjoy 16 fun postcards inserted at the back (though I would never have the heart to remove them ^-^). Each one is different and they show a majority of the OAV characters and machines.
This book is definatly a good purchase for those who are avid APCCGNN fans (like me), but may seem a bit too pricey as an introduction to the series. My suggestion for those interested in starting this series, look into buying the OAV dvds, they are finally available.

Tenchi Muyo is awesome book, It have all we need such how comedy,drama and action,I recommend to buy this manga.

Kazuma Azuma is on a mission: create the ultimate Japanese bread. His quest takes him to an audition/interview with the bakery Pantasia, where he bakes many of his creations, and where he meets friends and foes - sometimes one and the same person.

I loved this book (volume 1), and my seven-year old loves it. There are a few graphics that a are bit heavy for American eyes, but the basic themes of effort, persistence, and foodie values are pure joy. A bit of sex-ish stuff (one short bit of a girl apparently being spied on in a locker room) and violent-looking images (ie, plenty of stress lines and yelling people), but no physical fighting and no blood and guts.

For her, the focus is on remembering that Japanese books go "backwards" (which I appreciate as both a mental exercise and a way of opening her horizons) and on reading.

I recommend this for anyone 7 and up.

Another masterpiece! Shiei gets better and the storyline heats up! Anime readers will not be displeased with the latest Luna book! *DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE LAST THREE!!!!!!*

This series has really picked up with the last two books. Ananda is the best so far, with a lot of references to the actual history of the Buddha (though some big liberties taken with Ananda's real story). This is a softer book, without a lot of the violence from the first few books. It also continues the trends towards depth that book five started so well.
I thought about quiting this series after the first couple of books, now I'm glad I haven't. I just hope the quailty continues through the final two books.

This volume takes off exactly where the last left off, and doesn't disapoint the reader. The story continues to progress in its usual hilarious fashion.
