One of the Best Manga Series Out There!

This is my all time favorite series - even though it's only Shonen Ai it is the greatest Manga Series out there. The art is great and the story is funny and sweet in a lot of places, especially when it reveals how much the two main characters care for one another. It focuses on Dee Laytner and his persistence to get into the pants of his new partner Ryo Maclean, your average uke not knowing what to make of Dee's advances and Dee isn't the only one after Ryo, their new boss Berkley Rose is and Dee has his own admirers including one hyperactive jealous JJ, who hates Ryo. This is a must have series for any Yaoi or Shonen Ai Fan!

I must admit

When I first got into the series just by watching the anime first. I actually ended up liking the series to the point where it sadly had to end with only 2 seasons and a total of 13 episodes in each season which are over all 26 episodes. Honestly I have to say even though It was "fan service" as we all might say due to comedy and some laughs and tons of running jokes about boobs, panties, and even sex. Despite all that I loved it still and it had tons of likeable characters such as Kurumu and Mizore.

Soon After i started reading the mangas cause I wanted to see what was the difference and as soon as I read it I soon discovered there was more action and more details on WHY most characters are what they are. And Ive read all the books there was until the very end. And after reading em all it was all the more reason why I loved Rosario Vampire. And it became one of my most favorite animes.

I even managed to get someone else into the series while i was at work, I know it wasn't necessary to buy these books when I already read them online. But I had couple reasons why I just bought them anyway. 1) was because I was reading a translated version off of Mangahere.com and I have come across a couples of pages where their conversations somewhat didn't make sense at all though I will give the translator credit for actually trying his/her very best. And 2) was because one of my co-workers which is the one I got him into liking it. Wanted to read and see for himself. Especially parts where he missed out on where Im sure he would wanna see for himself. So if you're just like me and you wanna read the mangas after seeing the series. Then BUY IT NOW!! You will not be sorry. It will answer most of your bothersome questions about some things you might of not understood from the episodes. And im sure it will be all the more reason to LOVE Rosario Vampire.

I love this anime series, the voice acting is done rather well and there are plenty of jokes and plot twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. A great manga/ love story. I highly recommend this series for your DVD collection. 5 out of 5 stars!

I love this manga so much; I'm so sad that there's only two volumes of it! :(

The characters are interesting, the story is captivating, and the drawing style is well-done. This volume even includes another short story by this author that is just as interesting an entertaining. This is definitely a keeper!

Have never been a big fan of anime in the past, though I think the images from Pokemon were the limit of my experience.  Rurouni Kenshin is awesome!  It has really serious themes, but deals with everything with lots of humor.  I especially like the emphasis on repentance and reparation as being superior (though also more difficult) to despair and suicide.

Even though Kenshin is the focus of the series and is way cool, all the characters are well developed and important.  I highly recommend this fun series!

If you are reading the reviews you already know what the series is about. An absolutely great series that IMO is better than the anime. I collected all of the books and took my time to read through them thoroughly and enjoy the artwork. I highly recommend this series!

This is great. If you read this one, you'll want to read the second one too! It has a great plot line, and I totally ship Naho and Kakeru. It has friendship, comedy, romance, and some deep stuff in the book. Overall, I loved it and it's my favorite manga of all time. I rate it a 10/10!

One of the best manga series I've ever read and the one with the most adreneline soaking through the pages.  The mentally unstable maid Roberta (you remember her, she's really a former Columbian guerilla and trained mercenary known as "The Bloodhound of Florencia" who fought Revy to a double knockout standstill?) is gunning for the Special Ops unit that killed her boss.  Her boss's kid, Garcia Lovelace, is trying to get to her first.  Oh, and he brought along another slightly not all there gun-toting maid to help.  All heck breaks loose yet again in this volume, and we also find out about some past lives.  Guess which crime boss used to be a cop?

Always excellent, I love Rumiko Takahashi-sama's works! :D And this reminds me so much of Bleach so I love it even more.  I'd say definitely pick it up if you're a fan of Ranma or Inuyasha! :)

From Eroica with Love is one of the best manga series out there.  It's got a classic sense of comedy, suspense, and beautiful artwork.  Astute readers will notice a lot of pop culture references from the 1970s.  The cold war, Led Zeppelin, you name it.
Give it a read.  Your best bet is to get Volumes 1 and 2.  The 1st one is... An 'idea' for Eroica.  The 2nd volume is where it really starts getting good.

I really, really, love this series. I don't think the characters are stereotypical at all. Also, there are a few Japanese words in there. I guess I didn't really like that part, but it was only a few words and it isn't a big deal anyway. I really like the plot of this series. Some characters have their own "super" power. If you like those kinds of stories, you'll love this one too! In this volume, you learn a bit more about the male characters. It is still at the beginning of the plot however, but it is slowly progressing. The setting is at a high-class, elite school, which is another big plus. Anyway, I really enjoyed this volume, and I give it a very high recommendation.

I recommend X-Men: Misfits Volume 1 if you like this series!

(REPOST of previous reviews) I love the series, and I'm all caught up with the recent chapters supporting the scanlations.. I'm enamored with the plot and characters in general. It has everything: fantasy, romance, political strife, and a strong-willed shoujo character that's not a Mary-Sue. Not to mention, the art is beautiful. Having read manga online for so many years (15+ years), I decided to support the actual publication by buying my own copies. Super satisfied. It came in the mail in great condition, and I know I'll treasure it alongside my other manga. Super, super recommended read. Although the shoujo genre has had great female main characters, Akatsuki no Yona is one that manages to grow on you with great character development, avoiding the common tropes of backpedaling on previously established plot details. This will be a great buy for anyone of all ages and groups.

Additional: It arrived promptly on Tuesday, 2018JAN30. I'm so happy with the artwork. There aren't any indentations, scratches, etc. on the book, which is great. Very happy.

I love this series with every ounce of my being.  In fact, I loved it so much that I couldn't wait for the rest of the series to come out in English -- shortly after Volume 5 was released in America, I ordered the remaining six volumes from Japan.  I can only read a very tiny bit of Japanese, but I enjoyed them immensely nonetheless.  Just to tell you guys -- when volumes 7-11 are released in English, you are in for one memorable ride.  From volume 7 onward, character and stoy developement increase dramatically.  By the time the series is finished, you will recognize it as a masterpeice.  (It is, after all, based on a classic novel.)

Now, about VOlume 6.

In my opinion, this was the weakest volume of the series, though now having read in in English I have a better appreciation for it.  Don't get me wrong -- It's good, but it doesn't quite meet the standards set by previous volumes (Hence the four stars).  However it is a very important volume because it is the divider between the first five volumes and the last five volumes.  It's kind of a transition volume as the story's setting shifts from the capital city of Edo to the enemy territory in Aizu.

Still, a lot of good stuff is in here.  This volume sets up for the introduction of a character whose name has been mentioned several times in previous volumes, who has been a dark presence haunting the background of the manga.

Meanwhile, the Seven Spears are as despicable as ever, and the reader can only anticipate their defeat.  Akinari and the Seven Spears are the most vile, twisted, loathesome villains I have ever encountered.  For me, the sweetness of the Hori women's revenge is not the actual defeating of the Seven Spears -- instead, it is the effect each Spear's death has on his comrades.  Each time one of them dies the survivors become more and more paranoid, fearful, and desperate, each knowing that if they don't kill the Hori women soo, they could be next.

Great end to a great manga. This series isn't for everyone, it's got gore and boobs averaging probably once a chapter. However, past this is a complex manga that really makes you think (most of the time). From the true story behind the evil villains the Sentinel fight, to just how many stories can take a left turn at the end, but still make it totally believable...

I was impressed again by this manga. The story gets more and more interesting with each volume and the characters are more amazing in each volume as well. I love the fast paced action style of this manga as well as the complex yet understandable storyline. This is a must read for anyone that enjoyed the first manga.

I don't know why it took me so long to ever write a review on this wonderful series! Claymore is one of the best anime I have ever seen!!! The story is incredible and there is plenty of action too. I can watch this series over and over again, its just that good!

Claymore are female warriors who are half human and half yoma. They were created by a group called the organization to kill yoma. Yoma are humanoid shape-shifters that feed on humans.

It gets better than that cause if a Claymore uses too much of their power and goes over the limit they fully awaken and become a Awakened Being! There power is much greater than a Yoma and they can take on crazy forms.

For some reason this reminds me of Attack on Titans in a way, I think it might be the humanoid part cause they don't get that big!

Claymore on Blu-ray is not good at all. The video quality looks the same as DVD. I don't see no change in quality and that's not good. I wish they could of used a different source or animate the series again in a new way but I know that would probably be to expensive to do.

Well either way Claymore is still a wonderful anime series and should not be missed!!!
