Summary: Too short . . . but sweet!
Review: The only reason this book doesn't get a five-star rating is because it was too short! I finished it in a snap! Also, it has a fanart (is that 2 words?) section that I dislike. The artwork is really good. The storyline is one that, to me, is as original and cool as the anime's. Hazel is someone I can relate to, partly because she can't draw and partly because of the way she gets happy. I'm not going to tell you what happens in this story, other than Hazel's two first Pokemon friends are met, and so are the 'bad' guys. Is it just me, or is that Arbok a sort of bizarre combination between Jessie and James from the anime? Although neither of them appear in this manga (none of Team Rocket do), I just found that weird . . . . Overall, I'd say this is a really cool introduction to Hazel's adventures in the Poke-world (that's what they call the place, on page two!). In fact, Magical Pokemon Journey is the best Pokemon manga (for me anyhow) and is definitely SO much better than that anime-copycat perverted thing that Toshihiro Ono made.

Summary: Pi Pikachu!
Review: This book is so cute! The pictures are very good but the only thing is, the pictures are black and white and shades of gray.(Exept the cover and the first page)It's a story about a girl named Hazel who has a crush on a trainer named Almond (What a weird name!)Then she trys to trick Almond into eating a cake with a love potion inside.(Which explodes)Then she meets pikachu and clefairy. You will have to find out what happens next by reading the book. P.S. This is a comic book not a chapter book.

Summary: Cutesy but Clever
Review: This simple and fairly short manga was made in Japan by a woman named Yumi Tsukirino. She wrote it to cater to a young female audience (as opposed to the original manga which was based on pleasing a young male audience.) Therefore the drawings are very shoujo (girl oriented) with large eyes, big heads, and cute hair, and the plot is very "feminine" as well (a girl falls in love with a trainer.) Though it seems like it would be a little stupid and the basic idea is rather chauvanistic it remains a rather adorable little comic that you may want to buy for a daughter or young niece.
