Everyone I know who read Guyver got hooked. In Japan, the Guyver mange series has been going for 20 years and is up to volume 22. It's ashamed that Viz only published up to volume 7. No wonder people are selling Guyver synopsis in English on ebay.

So the introduction has been said by others. All I want to say is that Guyver with all the characters has its own life. The personalities and their struggle for survival make it breath. The emotional part of the boy was most apparent when he killed his own dad and afterwards failed to transform because he felt guilty. But then, he was only defending himself and the creature Enzyme II (his dad) was under complete control of a commander. His brain was not malfunctioning and the guyver suit simply took control and defended him without regard to human emotion. The whole story got me really stuck into it. It's just that the pusblisher tend to print it once in 3 to 4 months here(Malaysia). My manga collection is only up to when guyver I and guyver III were inside the living spaceship and trying to evacuate the people who were against Chronos( they were professionals forced to work for Chronos). The underground center was collapsing and everything was burning to pieces. I simply can't wait for the next episode. You will too when you got started.

The Guyver is the best super-hero I've ever seen! Evil doesn't stand a chance as long as the Guyver's around!

Ever since the first issue of the Viz translation came out, I've been hooked on this series. The art and story are both amazing. The plot is surprising and dramatic. Anybody who's a fan of this series should also check out the anime series, which is pretty close to the manga plot, except it introduces characters a bit faster, and it doesn't run as long (I think). Also, the Guyver series is still going on in Japan. I think that it's on issue 80 or something now, and it shows no signs of stopping. Please Viz, bring us the rest of this story!

I didn't read the first "Bio-Booster Armour Guyver" graphic novel expecting to get hooked. Actually, the first time I laid eyes on the series of books, I merely flipped through a few pages in the last volume ("Armageddon"), found that I couldn't make sense out of the dialogue, and then thought little more about it. Until, that is, I came across the very first book, and started reading it in the store. I didn't buy it, I just read it. But I bought the next volume, figuring that I'd just continue along. I didn't need the first book, if I had already read it, right? Well, I found that the second book just didn't seem right without the first one, so I bought the first one. Now, I have six out of the 7 published graphic novels, and I'm looking for the last one.

In the storyline, we are introduced to Sho, a high school student who accidentally activates a top-secret bio-boosting device called the G-Unit. This unit used to be in the hands of a ultra-secret organization called Chronos, and they want the unit back because it is the only thing that stand in the way of world domination. By activating it, Sho becomes bonded with the unit, which is actually the Guyver suit. Chronos quickly pursues Sho and his friends Tetsuro and Mizuki. If you buy this book, let me warn you..you might find yourself heading back to the bookstore for more!

Unfortunately, the publisher hasn't printed all of the volumes of the Guyver Comic books because of a lack of interest. But, if more people could see what this storyline is all about, I think that the demand would be far greater!

This is the culmination of a fantastic and underated title that has gone under the radar of much of today's western manga readers. Fools!

The city has gone to hell and the division of Black and White at the end of book two has acted as a herald of woe for not only the city but the rest of the cast as well. Without wanting to give too much away I will say that the fate of characters was met swiftly but intelligently and in a way that was in line with the whole concept of a world grounded in a corrupt and degenerating urban landscape.

Black and White remain the heart and soul of the story despite being apart for much of it, allowing the reader to feel the separation and distance experieced by the characters, albeit in their different ways.

The art is one that is a great and unusual blend of Eastern and continental underground styles that is able also to communicate a great sense of sound. This is hard to do in comics and gives credit to Matsumoto.

I cannot recommend this manga enough. It is outrageous that the first volume is out of print. It is really worth the effort to get hold of.

An "existential urban punk" that you won't forget.

This might be the best graphic novel ever made, and I don`t say that lightly. It`s a shame that it doesn`t have a wide circulation in Europe and US. It`s pretty much impossible to compare to anything else, Black and White it`s the most lyrical and at at the same time the most punk comic you`ll ever read. Think Miyazaki, Tank Girl and Takeshi Kitano all wrapped up in one story that is so good it hurts. Just get it, if you like indie comics chances are this is your new favorite one.

It all comes together. The line quality is in itself endlessly diverting. The vision of the city and its technology and architecture is totally unique. The story... the fabulous, ass-kicking flying boy-hoodlums with hearts of gold, perching atop telephone poles and living in an abandoned car... a techno-post-modern peter pan cast in a deliciously not-anime Tokyo ghetto. These 3 books are incredible. Don't miss them.

this book is one of the best graphic novels i've read. i liked the drawings a lot. simple but spicific. i liked the friendship between black and white. and the freindship between the two kids and chocolate the gangster. i recomend it very much

This book is simply wonderful. Though the story might be somewhat stereotypical, the art and characters redeem it. The art is a strange hybrid of Japanese and French styles. The characters are really touching, Black and the way he protects the retarted White, and White with his happy, almost microcephalic observations and attitude. I can't wait to read volume two, and I bet once you read volume one, you won't be able to wait either. Well worth the price of admission.

This here's my surprising winner for the best of the DC Archive editions. This ones kind of a greatest hits collection but the Golden Age stories hold up well, and are quite entertaining. Tho, the artwork for the older stories isn't the best, the newer tales have real nice artwork. I'd love to see a Volume 2 for Black Canary.

This DC Archive Edition of Golden Age and Silver Age Black Canary comics tales is a real goodie. The Judo-chopping , Ju-Jitsu-tossing crime fighter was always into heavy conflict with the criminal underworld and was, in many ways, a lineal ancestor to the tough-as-nails Cathy Gale and Emma Peel of t.v.'s "Avengers" years later. She also shared some common
ground with t.v. detective Joe Mannix (Mike Connors) and 50's pinup legend Bettie Page. Like Mannix she was always getting bonked on the head by the baddies, and, like Bettie, she was always getting tied up.

Somehow, over the years, the Canary always managed to get herself un-tied in time to save her life and catch the crooks, and, like Mannix himself, fortunately all that head-conking never resulted in permanent brain damage. so our heroine never got "punchy" on us.

These charming, exciting "old school" comics stories are lots of fun and showcase some fine artwork by some of those artist icons that are well remembered by long-time fans (certainly by "boomers"). A great deal of the work is by Carmine Infantino, who later would become a DC "staple" with his work in the Silver Age "Flash", as well as "Adam Strange" in Mystery In Space , the recurring "Space Museum" stories in Strange Adventures, and the "New Look" 60s "Batman".

Also putting in an appearance is Murphy Anderson, a very gifted artist in his own right, as well as Infantino's best Silver Age inker (apart from Infantino himself).

A special treat at the end of the volume is a two-part adventure illustrated by the late, legendary Alex Toth (world renowned for his late 50s-early 60s "Zorro" work for Dell), arguably the best graphics design/layout artist in comics. Toth's bold blacks and panel designs are always a blast and he is really clicking on this particular contribution.

Black Canary Archives, Vol. I ....get one. It's a keeper.

Another one of DC Comics' excellent Archive editions, this volume centers on the Golden Age female superhero, the one and only Black Canary( the one that appears in the Birds of Prey comic book is her daughter, and is thus Black Canary II). Black Canary(a.k.a Dinah Lance) was one of the few prominent female superheroes in the early days of comics, the only other famous examples being Wonder Woman and Supergirl.
These tales(which span from the 1940's up to the 1970's), include the following issues: Flash Comics # 86-104, Comics Cavalcade #25, DC Special Edition #3, The Brave & The Bold # 61-62, and Adventure Comics # 399,418-419.

This collection includes adventures from her entire solo career, from 1947 to 1972, starting with a support role in the comedic crime strip, "Johnny Thunder" (a minor character from the WWII-era DC lineup), and moving on up to a brainlessly goofy hippie-era plotline involving a women's lib group that was actually a front for a notorious criminal mastermind. It's all good stuff; not too substantive on the writing side of things, but nice light fun nonetheless. The best part is Carmine Infantino's artwork, which was highly imitative of newspaper cartoonist Milton Canniff, with a rugged yet stylish flair -- very different from the fluid, slapdash style Infantino adopted later in the '50s and '60s. I really enjoyed reading this one, and found it less repetitive than other volumes in the series... It's also nice to see one of the lesser, neglected Golden Age characters finally get their due, particularly one as foxy as the Lana Turner-ish Black Canary... Wish they'd do a DC archive for Wildcat, as well!

This book not only contains Black Canary's Golden Age appearences, but also includes some of her Silver Age appearences too. Very nice volume that covers a lot of Canary's early history. Like the fact her first appearence she was described as being a villian, although she stole from criminals only. Then she bacame a hero fighting, early on, with Johnny Thunder (Who should get his own volume to. Email DC and say you want one!) Canary then went on to do a solo gig in her own feature in Flash comics. This volume even shows her team up with Starman - which now in DC history is when Canary had an afrair with Starman.
So if you want to find out about the early adventures of Diana Drake, the first Black Canary (Diana lance, now appearing in Bird of Prey, is her daughter) then buy this volume!

Martinusen writes with confidence in this sequel to "Winter Passing." She paints believable characters, beautiful landscapes, and conflicts that aren't oversimplified. Although the book stands alone, the tie-ins to the previous novel are well handled.

The story starts with a heart-rending hook: Kate Porter's husband disappears during their trip to Venice. The only evidence of any wrongdoing is a broken blue tile. Three years later, she has no answers and is going on with her life. Soon, Kate is dragged into a plot that involves family secrets and national sins. The search for the truth will lead her back to Europe and the heart of the Nazi evil.

I had two complaints while reading. First, on the trivial side, the city of Corvalis (Kate's hometown) is actually spelled "Corvallis." I lived near there, so this inaccuracy tripped me up throughout. Second, the meaning of the blue tiles was anticlimactic and felt forced. Still, this is a story that is so much stronger than those issues and deserves to be read for entertainment and enlightenment both.

"Blue Night" has its dark side, but it won't leave you feeling blue. I can't wait to read the third book, "North of Tomorrow."

Set in Oregon, California, Venice and Austria, Cindy Martinusen's wonderful book, Blue Night, is a compelling, suspenseful read, the next in the Winter Passing trilogy.

I REALLY enjoyed this book. Kate Porter's plight as she attempts to put her life in some sort of meaningful order after the disappearance of her husband, Jack, was a heart-tugger. She was all that a heroine needed to be: tender, brave, frightened and adventureous. I loved coming alongside Kate, walking with her as she tried to find Jack and solve the mystery. Since I didn't want it to end, it made me happy that one more book in the trilogy was yet to come.

Be sure to consider Cindy's books when you are looking for a good read. They are terrific!

I thought this was a great book. I loved it and I would recomend it. I hate it when I'm reading and the book is totally predictable, but this book wasn't at all, and that's what kept me reading. I also liked how it has stuff in there about God.

I read the first book, Winter Passing, about a year ago. I picked this one up recently and didn't put it down until I was finished! I look forward to many more books from this author.

This book was the best book I have ever read. I picked it up for a book report for my Church History class. I had 3 days to read it, and because it was so good, it wasn't that hard. The way she rights is very good. Kate Porter was a great character and so was Lukas. If you are even debating getting this, get it! You'll love it.

Richard Moore's spoof of horror cliches continues with BONEYARD V. 3, a fine full-color graphic novel packed with fine dialogue telling of one Michael Paris, who may have subdued the devil himself but now is beset upon by the IRS. The solution beyond selling the yard full of strange creatures: a swimsuit calendar - featuring the monsters themselves. It's a hilarious spoof perfect for any collection strong in graphic novels and comedy.

Richard Moore's excellent and entertaining comic in it's third graphic novel continues on the struggles of Paris. Can't wait for the fourth one to come out.

All I can say is that I LOVE this whole series and can't wait for more from Richard Moore

BONEYARD by Richard Moore features a slew of sexy and facinating characters, great characterization and humor, as well as superb artistry. Even though I buy each of the BONEYARD collections in b&w as they come out, I find that the color volumes are a must for my collection as well. This series is somewhere between a PG-13 and R when compared to Moore's erotic work, but it was this series that got me hooked into Moore's work. The color editions add more to the reality of the story, especially when depicting the time of day [or night] scenes and in making the already colorful characters come more alive. Highly recommended for teens and older.

Boneyard Volume Three is the third graphic novel in Richard Moore's horror spoof. Following the adventures of a fairly ordinary young man who inherits a cemetery filled with supernatural tenants - including a lascivious sea-woman, her Frankenstein-like husband, stone gargoyles who are none too good at surfing, and a beautiful 2,000-year-old vampire named Abbey - Boneyard mixes humor with very practical problems, even for seemingly supernatural beings. The IRS is threatening to foreclose on their home, and to raise sufficient funds, our heroes attempt to create and sell a swimsuit special featuring the lovely beauties at the beach (with an extra dose of SPF 1000 for Abbey). But there are fiends far worse than the taxman at work, culminating in a deadly showdown between Abbey and an even more ancient and powerful entity - the one who made her a vampire and knows the gruesomely horrific details of her painful past, millennia ago. Although a parody of modern horror media, Boneyard is far more than a gag story; it mixes humor and drama to fine blend and is one of the finest independent comics currently being published. Also very highly recommended and a "must" for Richard Moore fans are Boneyard Volume One and Boneyard Volume Two.

After seeing this listed in my recommendations countless times, I flipped through a copy in a store and promptly ordered it from Amazon. If you miss The Far Side or were a fan of Gahan Wilson then you will feel right at home in this collection. But unlike Larson and Wilson, this comic is penned by two creators. One loves thinking up cartoons while the other can actually draw. I don't know which of the two is more twisted but they sure work well as a team.
The cover cartoon of a game of spin-the-bottle among a bunch of cats and one dog has the wonderful feature of working on more than one level. I think it was the Camel/Dromedary Peace Talks that really snared me. Once I had read that one I was completely hooked. I was only sorry that there were only two collections currently available for order. If you like cartoons that inspire laughter and not just smiles then you need to check these guys out.

Our newspaper pulled Brevity because "some readers didn't find it funny". What kind of reader wouldn't love this book? I just can't figure it out. We laughed ourselves to tears. I pick up the book and read one of the comics for the 10th time and it's still funny.

"Ah, Garbanzo, you are a noble bean..." Support good humor. Buy this book.

Like any cartoon books, there are a mixture of hits and misses but the funny ones are laugh out loud funny. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my husband and he loved it too. It is a little reminiscent of Far Side cartoons in terms of being iconoclastic and outrageous but I personally like Brevity better. I would have bought the entire book for just his one panel about Lassie, Timmy and the bear. Lassie is about to bail on Timmy who is dangling from a tree and in immanent danger from a bear. Lassie's says something to the effect of "Timmy how are you ever going to learn if I keep stepping in to help you." The author is not just a shadow of Larson, he is out and out funny in his own right.

Guy & Rodd's BREVITY also offers up powerful one-panel strips: these featuring a somewhat simplified drawing type but one packed with biting commentary and tongue-in-cheek humor. A level of sophistication will lend to appreciation of these zany revelations.

I consider Brevity to be one of the best currently running comics. It is very similar to the Farside, by Gary Larson, in its zany humor. Brevity is not quite as good as the Farside, but it comes very close and is consistently funny. This collection was very good, but I think it would have been better if it was put into color. One strip which I believe was originally printed in color has a leprachan who received a rainbow burn (like a sunburn only rainbow colored), however since the comic is in black and white you would have to know that already to get the joke. One plus for Brevity is that compared to the Farside there are much less were you are just left wondering, "Wait I don't get this why is this funny?"

Mr. Rickards very funny strip certainly is a world unto itself. I can't quite think of another comic strip (except "Pearls Before Swine") that has so many dark edges, and yet remain so funny. Where else except in this comic strip collection can you see contemporary humans allied with Tolkiens Hobbits in a battle against the Wicked Wizard of the West in Land of Oz? Insane!

I judged the book by it's cover, which is very funny, hoping the inside contents would be the same. They are not. The humor is good, but too simple and not the laugh out loud type. I can see that I would love this book if I were about 13. It's not clever humor and not a thinking person's comic(no offense meant). I'm more a fan of Get Fuzzy, Lio, Brevity, Close to Home, F Minus and Far Side, and the cover of the Brewster Rockit book had me thinking it's humor fell into that type. This is just word for others like me expecting something else.

I love reading Brewster Rockit in the newspaper so I was quite happy to see a compilation... this is actually the third copy I've bought as other people keep "borrowing" mine.

We get only the Sunday version of Brewster Rockit in our local paper, so it was fun seeing entire story lines in this book. Both my kids are big Brewster Rockit fans as well, and we could barely pry this book out of their hands during a long car trip this summer. Tim Rickard peppers his strips with lots of pop culture and sci-fi references in a kind of absurd humor. Very fun and very funny!

As a fan of science fiction, I absolutely adore Brewster Rockit Space Guy. I think you have to love Outer Space, and all the creatures we imagine might occupy Outer Space, to truly appreciate the strip. Not only does the strip have hilarious space jokes, but there is plenty of good banter between the characters. My only regret is that the book is too short for the addiction I have to Brewster Rockit Space Guy. I hope the comic strip comes out with a new book soon!!!

The Cardcaptor Sakura story continues. My students love this book and they are dying for each book I bring in. At least the girls are, the boys are into Naruto and Bleach. The girls oooh and ahhh! over every turn and just love this story. It gets them reading without my ever having to say anything!

My daughter absolutely loves Cardcaptor Sakura! Well written fantasy story with a lot of Asian mythology. Also, great resource for Japanese culture.
We watched all DVD after we finished reading books. There are American version with character's names are transformed into English names...but I strongly recommend to read Authentic versions. It's too odd to see all Japanese characters have English names...

In the second volume of the hugely popular Shoujo Manga; Cardcaptor Sakura, Sakura captures another 4 cards to add to her already 5 collected. So that makes her collection; Flower, Thunder, Sword and Shadow (new Cards collected) as well as Watery, Windy, Fly, Wood and Illusion.

I give this volume a 4 Stars rating because it's a tad confusing about the whole 'love' scenario and whose talking to who and why. Other then that it's a wonderful, light hearted Manga about a 10 years old quest to find mysterious cards that have magical powers.

We also are introduced at last, to Li who is Sakura's rival in capturing the Clow Cards. But don't think there's much rivalry yet as Li doesn't even bother to catch a card, instead just sits on the sidelines and complains about her technique. That was a let down.

Once again, I think it'd be for anyone who loves a girly-uber cute story with a magical twist!

This volume introduces Syaoran Li. He quickly establishes himself as Sakura's rival for both the Clow Cards and the attention of Yukito. Li is the modern day descendant of Clow Reed and feels he is the one who should be the chosen collector. But, Kero-chan points out that Sakura WAS able to open the magical book, so... no cards for Li! Not even after several confrontations with Sakura with him basically demanding that she hand them over. How will this rivalry play out in the end?

If you can get by the... bizarre relationships, this has a great story with beautiful illustrations. But, I do suggest picking up the first volume first.

Note that this is the edition of the manga which reads right to left, not the butchered and flipped one. Highly recommended.

For being a children's book, Cardcaptor Sakura has some messed up relationships that would make The Moral Majority cringe. As Sakura competes in the school field day she learns a little bit more about her mother when she meets Tomoyo's rich and powerful mother, who just happens to be the cousin of Sakura's mother, and what's more, was in love with her! That's nothing to say of Tomoyo's own more than friend love for Sakura herself! And what about how Sakura's father met and married Sakura's mother, his student at the time, with her being 16 and him 24! Talk about moral debauchery. Wow. This makes the sexual romps of 16th century ribaldry look tame by comparison. And then enter Syaoran Li-Kun, a new student at Sakura's school who is a descendant of Clow Reed, and is now Sakura's rival to collect the cards. He's also her rival in another way. He seems to have an odd attraction to Yukito, the high school student that Sakura has a crush on. And there's another classmate of Sakura's that apparently is having a love affair with her teacher. This is elementary school for Pete's sake! And what's the real deal between Yukito and Toya. Do they live on Brokeback Mountain?

If somehow you can navigate through all this emotional baggage Cardcaptor Sakura is pretty entertaining. I think because all of the relationships are right out of the Satyricon makes this work really stand out in the magical girl genre. The strangeness makes it memorable. Is this really a horror work disguising itself as a children's interest? Still too early to tell because none of these morally repugnant setups has led to anything. Or has it?

NOTE! I am actually seventeen, but I'm also lazy and didn't want to do all that extra work. ^_^ My review is below.

From the very first page--which shows Sakura crying over her brother's loss of magical power *cough*Yue's fault*cough*--to the last, you will be hooked on this volume. I speak from experience. It is the absolute cutest volume of the entire twelve-book series. There are no flaws in it whatsoever. *SPOILER!* My favorite part is where Sakura-chan finally confesses her love to Yukito-san. *SPOILER'S END* But anyway, please pick up the original first six, read them, read Master of the Clow 1-3, then take a deep breath and read this one. I was absolutely thrilled with my purchase, and I have a feeling you will be, too! Elissachan has spoken.

Card captors is about a 5th grader girl with the magic of the clow cards which are these cards that each have there own magic.When Sakura relizes the clow master is going to die she must find out the 2 yes 2 people who will take his place. It is pretty easy to guess who they are but still reading the books is still alot of fun. Very cute books. Like in the second book Sakura gets attacked by a giant teddy bear!The art is great too.Great book for all ages and Tokyo mew mew and Salior Moon fans.(to tell you the truth I like this book even more then Salior Moon ^_^!)
~*~Purin~*~

This continues along from the plots in the previous comic, which you should get before purchasing this or you'll be lost.
Summary:
The Tomoda kids host a cafe. There, Sakura confesses her feelings to Yukito. And then we can't forget about Clow Reed, who continues to test her. Later, we find out about Clow Reed, Kero, and Yue's past. If you want to find out about more stuff leading to the next book.

This is the best book in the cardcaptor collection.Sakura tells Yukito that she loves him but finds out that she does not love him in a #1 kind of way but as a father.Li helps her fell better .She desides to make a kinmoyo for him so that Li can go to a festivel with her and Tomoyo(my favoite character)you'll love this book if you're a card captor fan.

I will read them all! By the time I'm done, the sweetness of the series will probably have rotted my teeth out, but at least I will be a happy toothless person. In this book, Sakura finally deals with her feelings for Yukito, along with the usual battling of the Clow Cards. Sakura's talk with Li about her feelings for Yukito was, I think, the best reason to have this book. The Cardcaptor books always make me smile, even during a reread, which is as good a reason as any to get something, I think.

This book honestly made me feel like how could yu watase write this book so sad, but then I read the last volume (volume 14) and i said "Now I know why she wrote this book the way she did, and I wish that everyone could read the 14th book and be as happy as I am now". Yu Watase is the best artist and writer that I know.

I started on Fushigi Yugi originally through the anime, then resorted to the manga three years ago. This has become my longest series and this volume is one of the best I have read. The action has met its climax and the rival priestess has gained her soldiers before Miaka did, making everything more interesting. And the highlight in the manga in my opinion, Nakago's cold kiss with Tamahome. ^.^ Ok so it wasn't exactly what the events were leading to but one of my favorites.

Anyhow, I do like especially to this point how both Yui and Miaka have progressed and to this day, Nakago remains one of my favorite villains. If you are in to FY for the long haul, buy this one as well as the others to follow and complete your collection.

When i first read this book i could not belive what Aki did to Aya in the Libray of the school and Yuhi. The great thing is Toya starts to get his real memories back If you havent owned any of these books i really think that you should get them their really good. :)

This is a review of both a volume of Fushigi Yuugi and Ayashi no Ceres. Because Amazon.com links to both series, I will review both volumes.

This is volume twelve of Fushigi Yuugi. It is a wonderful volume. Miaka and Tamahome are a great couple. They have a wonderful love story. In this volume, Tamahome hugs Miaka and comforts her after the events from the last book. Miaka and Tamahome are girlfriend and boyfriend and each other's true love. When Miaka and Tamahome learn that now they can become intimate, they must face a decision. A war is coming, and Miaka knows what may be comign ahead. Miaka hugs Tamahome and says that he can make her his bride. Miaka and Tamahome kiss. As they kiss, they have a very romantic and sweet scene. When they are interrupted, they share a sweet moment. Tamahome hugs Miaka and tells her that they will continue this on their wedding night. They have a very sweet scene. When Miaka learns that she and Tamahome may have to separate, Tamahome hugs her and they appear in her world. Tamahome's love for Miaka let them be in her world together. Miaka and Tamahome hug that night. Yui finds out that they are in her world together. Miaka and Tamahome walk into town and Miaka shows her world to Tamahome. Miaka and Tamahome walk happily arm in arm through town and have lots of loving and romantic moments. When Tamahome and Miaka are on a date in a restaurant, Tamahome finds out the truth of how Miaka entered his world and must make a decision. This is a wonderful volume.


In Ceres, Tooya finds out that his memories were implanted into him. Aya returns to herself. It is revealed that Miori is not Tooya's old girlfriend. Tooya tells Aya he's sorry he can't remember their relationship, but he still loves her. He leaves to rediscover himself. Aya transfrers to a new school. Yuuhi is there too. Shiso threatens Aya, telling her he will kill Yuuhi if she doesn't leave him. Aya pretends to be cold to Yuuhi to protect him. Tooya realizes that even if he can't remember Aya he still loves her. Tooya returns to Aya and they reunite and kiss. Tooya asks Aya to elope with him. They move in together. Aya and Tooya have the place alone one night and kiss. They make love and share an intimate night. They go through the days happily. Later, Aya and Tooya go on a journey. Aya is hurt and Tooya awakens her. He greets her in bed and they kiss. They share many times together. Later, they visit an island and Tooya regains his memory and reveals to Aya that they knew each other before. Aya and Tooya go home and Aya kisses Tooya as he looks up their island.


Both stories are great. Miaka and Tamahome are a great couple. Soa re Aya and Tooya. Miaka and Tamahome are a wonderful couple. Both stories are great. I have read the entire series of both manga volumes and they are both wonderful.

Another uniquely Yuu Watase manga.

Ten was another one, like 5, where everything happens at once, but it is a better one to leave off on if you have too.

Poor Aya is alienated, the people in school think she is a slut because of Aki, and to keep Yuhi safe she has to be terribly mean to him. She is really alone with Shurro and Chidori gone. But it isn't all bad Toya realizes, again, it doesn't matter that he doesn't remember Aya a part of his heart does and that is enough. Aya saves Toya by destroying the hypnosis machine that took Toya's memories, so he remebers her. He comes to save her and Alec helps them both to make an escape.

Alec poor thing felt bad about what he did to Toya and couldn't do that to Aya. He is so cute isn't he.

This one at the end is like an action movie. The illustrations are just gorgeous. I am waiting for 11.
