Summary: finally...
Review: finally!! a strong, great female main character!
She's not a sissy like in MewMew and sailor moon, but more like Yu Yu Hakusho's Keiko.
This was a great, well-though-out, intriguing book.
I highly recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest
Review: I love this book. I think Lili, the main character and skilled detective, has a lot of courage. I mean, I would love to investigate, but it is kind of creepy when you have to investigate a murder case! I like that she stays with a case and never gives up.
About the author: She is a wonderful artist and writer. You can really picture in your head what is happening. Kind of like a movie.

See ya,

Summary: This series was my first and FAVORITE manga!!
Review: I LOVE Zodiac P.I.! It's wonderfully written, with a awesome cast of characters and catchy plot! I've read all 4 of the books so many times that I accidently ripped the spine of the 4th volume...oopps.

~The Characters~
Lili (NOT Lily) Hoshizawa is a 13 yr. old astrologist on a search for her mother,Kaoruko Hoshizawa,who disappeared 2 years ago. In the meantime,she busts mysteries under the alias Spica P.I. and leaves the police, along with her own father, scratching thier heads as to who she is. She solves crimes with 2 things: the birthdate of the victim and the help of 12 zodiac spirits who give her clues and guidance from Lili's summoning of her Star Ring.
Hiromi Oikawa,however,is another story. Good-looking,yes, Hiro is also a detective(much to Mr. Hoshizawa's annoyance) and deals with the mysteries in a logical manner. At times, he's a regular pain in the behind. Hiromi is also allergic to girls, including his own sister, Megumi(whose vainity is VERY annoying..I'd like to do nothing more than kick her and Michelle/Sailor Neptune over a cliff. They're so AIR-HEADED...) I find that very funny.......poor Hiromi!!

Summary: An incredible shojo!
Review: I recently picked up this manga, not knowing what to expect. I mean, I had never even heard of it. Plus, I'm not a big fan of shojo. But I have to say, this is one incredible manga! The premise involves two main characters: Lili Hoshizawa, who comes from a long line of astrologers; and Hiromi Oikawa, who's some sort of genius and has a major in criminal phsychology. Together, they team up to solve crime and murder cases. It's very intriguing how the pieces of the puzzle in each case fits in perfectly, adding depth to the episodic manga. It's also quite interesting to see the relationship between Lili and Hiromi. I would recommend this to anyone who likes shojo, or is looking for a fun, intriguing mystery manga.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good.
Review: This is a good series. It's about Lili, a high-schooler who solves crimes with the help of a magical ring containing the spirits of the zodiac signs (Virgo, Scorpio, etc.), who give her clues to track down who did the crime, and how.

The art is pretty good, but not what I would call remarkable. The story is mostly meant for younger kids, so a 10-year-old would probably like it a bit more than a teenager. If you're trying to get a friend of yours interested in manga, (or want to find out about manga yourself) this is a good choice for fans of Nancey Drew and Encyclopedia Brown.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I knew I would like it
Review: This is probably the first manga I've ever come across that I knew I would like. Usually I just _have_ to know what the plot is, what happens in later books, and stuff like that. But this one, I knew I would love it. The main character is Lili Hoshizawa, whose family has been practicing astrology for generations. Her dad's a cop(though not a very succesful one), and her mom is....well, missing. Lili is a private investigator who goes by the name of Spica, and no one knows who she is....yet. One day, she ends up landing on a boy she knew ten years ago, but whom she doesn't remember at first. I'd say the funniest thing about him is that he's allergic to girls. Lili uses a 'star ring' to call out the astral spirits of zodiac signs. They give her the horoscope for someone involved in a crime, and use a 'globe of truth' to give her a clue or two. I think it's really funny how her personality reacts with the personality of each sign. This story has it all. Comedy, mystery, and with the books being released as slowly as they are, the plot is really suspenseful! You may not agree, but I think this is a great manga.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is SOO COOL!
Review: This is such a cool book! Lili the main character is soo adventurous!Instead of taking the stairs she jumps off the 2nd floor window!It's funny with good drawings!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great manga!
Review: This manga is great! It has comedy, mystery and action. And the art is beautiful. Its too bad that there is not much on it on the web... Cause it never got turned into a tv show, and so it is not known very well :( I recommend that you buy this and introduce this to your friends, make them read it even though they might judge the book by its cover! my buddies say that they didnt like to read this because of the cover T_T! its a good manga!
