Summary: The Magic Knight Rayearth Boxset
Review: **THE STORY**
Ahh CLAMP and their wonderful works. This is no different. This story revolves around 3 "normal" girls named Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu. One day, they were abducted into a mysterious land called Cephiro. They find out that they were brought here by the princess of Cephiro who's in deep trouble. The princess had been kidnapped by Zagato (the big bad guy) and now Cephiro is in chaos. Monsters are appearing in Cephiro where they didn't belong before. Basically, Cephiro is in shambles. Now it's up to the legendary Magic Knights to save Cephiro! The story itself is kind of like an RPG with magical girls.

**THE ARTWORK**
The artwork is unflipped and the quality is just as good. In the previous volumes of Magic Knight Rayearth, the artwork was flipped and now it's done the "right way". CLAMP's artwork has always been known to be very detailed and sport a neo-baroque style just like X/1999. These women are very talented and their stories are always great.

**THE BOXSET**
This boxset includes a special memorial book which is a nicely added bonus. It has some info on the characters along with the weapons used. This book also includes some info on the geography of Cephiro. The first half of book is colored and has a mini "bonus section" with the 3 girls in it. Anyway, the second boxset is rumored to be released March/April 2003 so I'll glady get that when it comes out.

**COMPLAINTS**
The only complaint I have with the boxset is that, the box itself is flimsy. It bends easily so when I ordered mine from Amazon.com, it was kind of squished.

Summary: From the creators of Sakura Cardcaptors and X/1999.
Review: Clamp, an all female company certainly knows what its doing. Rayearth is a great manga with a very unexpected ending. It was the work that made the Clamp girls famous. The story involves 3 girls that get sucked into a world where magic is the factor that determines strenght, and depends on the will of one person to keep the world safe. But is that person's will strong enough to keep the magic world of Cephiro safe?... The artwork is great, however not up to par with X/1999. I heard the second part is even better than the first, can't wait for it to come out. If you like this manga and wanna see more get the TV series or the OVAs. You also get an extra color artbook with this set by the way. Buy it now.

Summary: The epitome of shoujo manga
Review: I laughed. I cried. I "puu"ed. How can a cute little story about three girls in a magical faraway place stir so much emotion? The plot seems about as trite as it gets, but the ending is always what gets me. I've seen the anime series twice, played the SNES game, and read the manga Vols. 1-3, but I *still* cry everytime I get to the end. There isn't any other story that does that to me. Rayearth may be a stereotypical fairy tale to some, but it's a fairy tale that pulls on your heartstrings. Buy it and be amazed.

Summary: Wonderful! A must get for any Rayearth fan!
Review: I love this series. It is more serious than the last (yes even Umi). But it is filled with a rich story full of its own funny moments. This is a MUST HAVE for people who have read the first series. Other good series by clamp are Wish and Angelic Layer. If your a CLAMP fan or even a Manga fan you must get the Rayearth Series!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GOOD BOOK! =)
Review: I really liked this book.....but the ending was sad and not the most satisfactory.... i loved the first mkr book but the last one was sort of disappointing in the end. =(

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best of the First Three!
Review: I thought that the first two books were spectacular, but volume three in this series just blew me away! The artwork, as always, was beautiful, and the plot twist at the end just made me plotz!

I wish Volume 4 (Yes, there is a 4th, 5th and 6th volume!) would come out sooner than June 2000, but better then than never!
