Shaolin Soccer #1

Summary: Shaolin Soccer - the manga
Review: Any fan of the movie Shaolin Soccer will definitely like this HK manga. It is very well drawn (Andy Seto's artwork is again topnotch) and has beautiful colors. I gave this manga only a 4 because the manga is literally a direct translation of the movie with just a little extra thrown in. They also did not do Ah Mui (the dough girl) as she was in the movie (the ugly duckling outcast). Also they didn't bring in the villianous coach in the first book. My hope is that the artist and publisher will take the story on to the next level in the future books.
