Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rayearth Rox!
Review: I loved this book. It has soo much suspense and character. Umi, Fuu, and Hikaru is sooo cute! I would recomend this book to anyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Niiiice!
Review: I really liked the first Magic Knight Rayearth book. It's funny, cute, action-packed, and overall cool! What gets annoying is that characters repeat things, and that in the 100% manga version, the CLAMP TIMES chibi doesn't look great. Overall, a good fantasy novel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A reprint of a masterpice
Review: Keep in mind, this is only a reprint of the English virsion. This is in that so-called "Authentic" format(right to left).

*NOTE: the only thing "Authentic" is the pannels, the cover and the size of the book are not.(in the English version, I mean,uh,...1-6 the covers and size are orinagal.)(This was the reason for 4 stars insted of 5)

But the overall story is wonderfull!!! I LOVE IT!!!! I read books 1-5(haven't read 6 yet, thats now called 'Magic knight II vol.3', I say '6' for short). If you are a Sailor moon fan or a Cardcaptor sakura fan,or just simpily like good a Anime or Fanasty, this is for you!!! A friend of mine who is a huge fan of Sailor moon, read one of my Magic kinght Rayearth books and liked it just as much as I did. Whats really sad is that theres only 6 books..... and its such a wonderful series and its my favorite out of all the comics that I have ever read!(Remember, its not just for girls....)Make shure you read all the books in a row(so don't read 5, then 1, then 3, etc.) so you don't get confused,(like how the first book I read was 3, I was really confused,....but I loved it and wanted to read the first two just to figure out on what happened)

Read it!!! Trust me, you will love it!!! Because this is CLAMPs best story EVER!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Magic Knight Rayearth Rulz!
Review: Magic Knight Rayearth is soooo good! When I started reading the first volume, I could not stop reading until I finished the series ¡V and the continuing series Magic Knight Rayearth 2! The story is extremely interesting, full of exciting twists and turns. There is science fiction, mystery, fantasy and magic. It¡¦s perfect for both boys and girls. If you like Cardcaptors, Wish, Angelic Layer or any other books by CLAMP, you¡¦ll like this book. I think it is one of the best comics by CLAMP.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Puu! Puuuu!!!
Review: This is the first manga I ever read, the first I ever even touched!!! (So I¡¦m obsessed, so what?) Anyway, it was excellent, I loved it, and I¡¦m dying to get my hands on more and more manga, but I¡¦m currently staying in Egypt where manga in nonexistent. Lot¡¦s of anime on TV, translated into Arabic, but no manga ƒ¼.
To get down to Magic Knight Rayearth.
It rocks! And so does CLAMP, the famous all-female team of four women who have earned fame¡Xand fortune¡Xthrough their breathtaking manga. Now, anyone into manga likes to know some things before they buy one, such as:

1. Story: Great story, very classical Shoujo storyline, but definitely original and captivating. The story is about Hikaru, Umi and Fuu, three 14-year-old girls who find themselves magically transported to Cephiro, a land where the strength of your will determines your strength. Will is everything in Cephiro. They meet Clef, a 745-year-old magician (and the cutest shonen ever!!!) who gives them magical armor, and sends them on an epic quest. They must revive become the Legendary Magic Knights and save Princess Emeraude from the evil Zagato¡¦s clutches! But first they must get weapons¡K Now if that doesn¡¦t spark your interest, than you are not a Shoujo manga fan. (Bow your head in shame)
2. Love Interest: Come on guys, it¡¦s a Shoujo manga; it¡¦s got the cutest love stories ever, but in the first cycle only Fuu gets a love interest, but boy! What a guy she gets! Don¡¦t worry parents, nothing offensive, and there isn¡¦t even any kissing ƒ¼.
3. Artwork: Gorgeous. And you can trust my opinion; I draw manga, so I know good artwork when I see it, seriously. Mokona and Fuu are not drawn to my tastes in the first cycle; Mokona has these weird cheeks, but that¡¦s just me. The rest of the artwork will have you drooling (especially over Zagato) and the character design is scrumptious, but some of the battle scenes are confusing until you get the hang of them and know what to look for.
4. Translation: Great translation; great fonts. Princess Emeraude and Zagato both have their own personal fonts, a really neat stylistic quirk. It really adds depth to the story. There is a small problem cuz Japanese isn¡¦t written like English, so the speech bubbles are taller than they are wide, but that¡¦s usually not a problem. ¡¥Why don¡¦t you¡¦ is spelled ¡¥Whydoncha¡¦ and Ferio charmingly greets the girls with, ¡¥who are y¡¦all?¡¦ but overall it was perfect.
5. Quality: Excellent Quality, it¡¦s a beautiful book that will not fall apart like the Sailor Moon manga reportedly does. It reads from right to left; Japanese form, but since I can read and write Arabic, it came naturally to me. On the last page is a quick, useful tutorial to show you how to read authentic manga in it¡¦s original form. Words don¡¦t lead off the page or anything, and the paper is beautiful.
6. Mokona: Puu! Puu! (seriously, how can you resist a book with Mokona, the pokemon-like fluffy bunny creature in it?)
7. Nudity: NONE
8. Price: Ok, now, as much as I love manga, ten bucks for a 120-page comic book is kind of a lot. I have to buy everything online, so I¡¦m under my parent¡¦s thumb, and though I would gladly produce the money myself, they don¡¦t approve of it. ƒ¼ -sigh-

This is as good as you can get, an original storyline, cool characters, nonstop action uninterrupted by chapters, and a shocking ending! Buy it now!
Puu! Puu! (Mokona says to buy it, too) =^-^=
