Five Star Stories

Summary: Finally---It has arrived!
Review: I have been purchasing Newtype for years, and have always wanted to read The Five Star Stories. But I am just learning to read Japanese, so it was slow going (when it went at all.) But now, thanks to the wonderful people who printed this English language version, I can now read the story that I have admired for so long!

The art is superb, the story is exciting, and the characters draw you in and hold you there. I like how Mamoru Nagano has mixed the mythology of various countries and combined them with the technological driven dreams of our time. He has put an interesting spin on a cliche'd situation, and that is great! Kudos to you!

It may be hard to understand at first, but once you get into it, it's great!

I would love to be able to describe the plot to you, but I'm not sure I can remember that much of it. That's not to say that it lacks a plot--my memory is just incredibly bad.

Anyway, try it for yourself! The books are relatively cheap (at least where I bought them, so that's a plus.

Terrific art, gripping story, entrancing characters, and mythology all together in a reasonably priced package? What more encouragement do you need?

Summary: I wish I could give this more than five stars!
Review: Newtype and Animage are my favorite anime mags, and now I get to read the amazing FSS manga that appeared in them! For years I stared at the pictures and tried to imagine what they were saying to each other...well, not any more. Now I get to read about the adventures of the Headliners, Fatimas, and the Emperor, all in English!

This is a must for any manga collector to have, serious or not! You won't regret it!

Review: This manga is interesting, really long, and so beautiful. The drawings are elegent and kind of dream like. You wouldn't think they would work as well with this kind of story as they do. I highly reccommend this volume for all manga fans.
