Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just read it
Review: HEY! I'm a huge Heero and Relena fan, and if you are too, Blind Target is the thing to read! They do kiss (well, okay, almost) and you just gotta read it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Blind Target!
Review: Looks like those writers did it again. Blind Target is a wonderful series, explaining most of the events of the future. While the series is a little short, it gives off a hint of Trowa's mysterious past, even if you do know what it is. ^_^, I've read this is Japanese before, and it was quite good. I recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I couldn't read it, but I love the art work!
Review: Luckly for me I was able to find it in a local Japanese bookstore in Manhatten. I'm really sorry about the fact this manga is out of print and so many people are trying get they hands on it. The artwork is amazing and by looking at the pictures, the relationship between Heero and Relena strengthens. I know this is also a out of print title but in the manga version of Endless Waltz, Heero actually stays with Relena! Unlike in the anime where he leaves her, he stays with her to protect her. Awww!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best manga based on Gundam Wing
Review: Viz Comics is currently releasing "Blind Target" as a 4-episode comic book in English in the U.S. Issues 1-3 are available at comic stores now, and in a few months, a compilation book should also be available.

"Blind Target" takes place in between the Gundam Wing 49-episode TV show and the "Endless Waltz" OAV/movie. Some remnants of White Fang, seeing that the Gundam pilots no longer have need for the Gundams, try to capture the Gundams for their own use. Some of the plot points leading up to Endless Waltz are hinted at, such as sending the Gundams to the sun and why Wufei joined Mariemaia's army.

Of the four "official" Gundam Wing manga I've seen (the original series, "Ground Zero", "Blind Target", and "Episode Zero"), IMHO "Blind Target" is the best. The artwork is clean and modern, and the character designs strike a nice balance between the softness of childhood and the hardness of being a warrior and an adult. "Blind Target" is probably a bit more aimed at the shoujo (female) crowd, with more overt romance than found elsewhere (though the last issue of "Ground Zero" was all Heero/Relena), but I like that sort of thing. The plot isn't that special, but the supporting characters (Chris & Ralph) are very believable and do a good job with presenting their views.

Overall, I'd recommend "Blind Target" highly for Gundam Wing fans. If you're not a Gundam Wing fan, the manga may not make a lot of sense since it does assume familiarity with the series.
