Summary: Dragon Knights are soo cool!
Review: "Dragon Knights" is probably one of the best mangas I have ever read. The plot is awesome and the characters are very lovable. If you enjoy magic, swords, dragons, and good-looking guys, this is an awesome manga for you!
The manga is read from right to left like the original Japanese style. It's way cool! Also, a lot of the sound effects are left in it's original Japanese, which really gives it that original flare.
This manga is truly for the otaku! I completely recommend it!

Summary: Quality unmatched in the world of manga!!!
Review: A million artists could try for a million years and never recreate the beauty and wonder that is woven so deeply into each and every page of dragon knights. This series really has come a long way since it's adorable debute almost two years ago. What started as a delightful breezy little comedy, has grown into a full fledged epic of drama, action and of course, good ol dragon knight charm!! Not only the story, but the characters have evolved too. The guys have really grown into thier parts as their world has slowly fallen apart around them. And as the true meaning of the plot is revealed piece by piece, you get drawn deeper and deeper into their world.
Ever since the knights went their seperate ways, the series has been a roller coaster ride of sorrow, drama and suspense. With everything that's been going on, vol. 12 really serves as a reward for all the depression and frustration we have endured since the series took it's dark turn. But before the book ends, it will take one last romp in the world of depression. The all too familare feeling of dread returns tenfold as yet another dragon officer dies. Last time it was Alfeegi, this time it's one of Rath's closest comrades.
But there is a bright side to all the darkness. Rath is FINALLY himself again!! And for the first time in almost a year, the knights will finally fight side by side again!! I've waited for their reunion since the second they separated, and now it's time for them to claim revenge for their fallen friends. The three of them together, that's the way it should be, and that's the way it will be from now on!
I don't want this series to end, but I can't wait to see how it all turns out. I can't wait to witness the amazing climax I'm sure is in store for the manga masterpiece, Dragon Knights!!!

Summary: After an annoying delay, the long awaited 10th book is here!
Review: After everything that was revealed in the ninth book, I just couldn't wait to read number ten! But then, for some reason, it came out an entire month late!!! Grr... oh well it's in the past now.
This book picks up right where the last one left off with Rath, Cesia, and Kai Stern. Tho it's not as eventfull as the triumphant eleventh book, some very importan stuff happens in this volume! Do you remember the revival water the demons wanted to use on Rath all those volumes ago? Well, it's back and this time Rath gets a huge splash of it, right in the kisser!!!! And you know what happens next, right? OF COURSE NOT!!! You never can tell with this series! As confusing as it gets sometimes, i still love it and always will.
The other knights of course are not in this one again, but dont worry cause everyone is in the next one!! Though Thatz and Rune are not in the main story, they are in the side story. The side story was pretty good actualy. It's about when all the knights first met each other. It was good to see the old Rath again! I miss him...
Well that's it for Dragon Knights number ten!! It was late, but it was still worth the agony of waiting! This is the best manga ever. I'd just like to hear someone say otherwise!!

Summary: The story keeps moving in number 13.
Review: Alot sure has changed sinse volume one. Rune has sucked Varawoo into his body, just to get him pushed back out. Thatz whent on a journey with Kithchel and... well, he sorta ABANDONED her! And Rath has died, turned into Nadil, and THEN he came back to life! With all that's going on, it's a wonder they can still stand, let alone fight!
With all of their privite journeys now completed, the three knights are finally back where they should be, side by side. They are now trying their best to reunite their fallen kingdom, and protect it from Nadil's aproaching army. And beside fighting the good fight, the knights also have to worry about Cesia, who is currently in Nadil's cluches. At this point the story does seem rather depressing and hopeless, but i'm sure the knights will pull through in the end.
There is good news tho! The books, no matter how depressing and serious they can get, will still always be the funniest manga around. The books are still just as much fun as they were two years ago, and I don't see em slowing down any time soon!!

Summary: Rath's deepest secret finally revealed!
Review: Dragon Knights is a great manga with stunning artwork, and has a deep compelling story with charactors you just can't get enough of. Since the very first book to this latest one, I have really enjoyed Dragon Knights. Mineko Ohkami is a very gifted manga-ka, and I hope to someday read her other works.In this volume, you finally find out what really happened to Rath all those years ago. Something that I've wanted to know for a VERY long time! Though the whole story of it really isn't revealed in this volume, you finally understand him a little bit better. And you also find out who is burried at the unmarked grave in the dragon castle forest... believe me, you NEVER would have guessed who! Once again, this book is totally about Rath. Thatz and Rune do not appear at all. I really miss them!! Just goes to show how good a manga this is! I hope that we see more of Rune in the near future. I NEED to find out what's up with that 'Nohiro' guy, I mean who IS he anyway? And I would like to catch up with Thatz sometime soon, and find out what he's up to. I mean it's not that I don't like Rath, it's just that he seemed SO much happier when they where all together. He's just so dramatic lately... I miss the old Rath!! Well, this was the ninth volume. It's not getting boring yet... let's hope it stays that way!!

Summary: one of my all time faves
Review: Dragon knights is defiantly great! The artwork is unique and fantastic, plenty of action and blood, lovable characters, and most of all.............. IT"S HILRIOUS!!!!! the beginging is so hilrious with you're paranoid elf obsessed about getting home, you're glutounous but lovable theif(I love thatz- he's probley my fave character... most likly cuz he's almost exactly like me) and then ur yokai demon hunter, who' of course..... obsessed with hunting down and killing demons. The story is great. It starts out seemingly pointless but hilrious, but then takes a sharp gothic turn after the 9 vol. (SO SAD! MY OTHER FAVE CHARCTER DIES!!!!! *sob*) Anyway, DK is just great and really worth buying....
By the way, on the cover art, that's Rath, and the blonde guy is Bierez, who you'll meet in the 3rd or 2nd vol. But i think it's 3rd.

Summary: fun, a little confusing
Review: First off let me say that this is VOLUME TWO. That isn't made as clear as it could be on this page.
I guess you already know this volume deals mostly with the characters' pasts.
Now, what did I think of it? Glad you asked. I liked it. It's both funny and serious. Although I must say it can be a bit confusing; sometimes it seems to jump around without enough explanation).
Dragon Knights feels like shojo to me, even though it seems to be mostly magic / action and not much romance. The characters are very cute although drawn a little weird sometimes. (Rune looks like a girl sometimes.) They're skinny and (especially Rath!) young-looking. Also hair tends to be a big thing with the artist. And think Clamp's pointy-male-faces, only more so.
Okay, here's my question. Does anyone else think Rath looks a lot like a very young, sweet version of Hiei? (The hair, the fire powers, eagerness to fight...) Hm. He is far more cheerful than Hiei, though. Which is kind of nice.

Summary: You've got to read it!
Review: I don't think there's any word short of sublime that comes close to describing this manga. It's got beautiful graphics and plenty of humor. Unlike a lot of other manga, Mineko Ohkami started her rather dark series with a light and funny first book. You actually get some character development before she starts throwing long and complicated facts at you. You get to meet Rune, and elf on a mission to get the head of the Yokai (demon) lord Nadil back to the Dragon Lord Lykoleon. Rath, a strange half demon who is positively obsessed with hunting demons and Thatz, (yes, with a 'z') a (rather lazy) human thief who'll do anything and go anywhere for food or money. You have to appreciate the humor (and the insanity) of this first book. I've seen nothing to compare. I've read my copy way more than I normally would have and I've got it mostly memorized. (He he he!) I love the right-to-left format of the book, and though it may be a bit confusing at first, it's really cool. And I loved how they kept a large quantity of the sound effects still written in the origional Japanese (I'm learning, so this was really fun and easy to translate.) I've reccommended it to all my friends (and a few strangers) and now I want the world to know that this is one of the greatest mangas of all time! Thank you and good night.
