This manga series is really cool weird and I hope to read more of it. <br /><br />I haven't read MARS yet, but I was going to read it as my next big, complete series. I love when all the volumes are out and you can read them back to back. :)Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-23140627657162524022011-06-20T19:33:39.741-05:002011-06-20T19:33:39.741-05:00It feels so great to find another adult manga read...It feels so great to find another adult manga reader. They are so rare! I've seen this manga around, but I haven't picked it up. Now I want to because of your review. <br /><br />Have you read MARS? I think you would really enjoy it. It's an older manga that came out in the 90's but it is very good. It feels real and it doesn't shy away from darker themes that go undetected in families. Unfortunately not too many people know about it :(<br /><br />New Follower! <br />♥ Trish <a href="http://justayagirl.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Just a YA Girl</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-62479209748736160452011-06-14T21:12:41.231-05:002011-06-14T21:12:41.231-05:00Hmmm...I'll have to look both of these up.Hmmm...I'll have to look both of these up.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-28756701295815851182011-06-13T22:40:06.256-05:002011-06-13T22:40:06.256-05:00Alison: Yeah, definitely grown-up.

As for manga recommendations, I absolutely loved "Death Note" (which is a total of 13 volumes) and "Afterschool Nightmare (which is 10 volumes). Those series got me started reading more manga.Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-82203048653407051102011-06-13T19:27:18.160-05:002011-06-13T19:27:18.160-05:00This sounds interesting.

It looks like it from the description, even if it still incorporates humor.<br /><br />I feel like a lot of the manga I've read lately - like Chibi Vampire and Love dot Com falls more into the silly/stupid category. I'd like to find a series that I can really connect to. Do you have any recommendations?Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-48740381007376759682011-06-13T17:01:54.950-05:002011-06-13T17:01:54.950-05:00The main difference is that this series seems to h...The main difference is that this series seems to have more action and violence compared to the other series I've read. There's a subtle hint of a possible romance between Ciel and Sebastian that might appeal to girls.Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-48863310424039918082011-06-13T10:14:34.842-05:002011-06-13T10:14:34.842-05:00So how does this series compare with the ones targ...So how does this series compare with the ones targeted more to a female readership? Did you notice a big difference in the way they're done? This sounds like a really interesting manga, I like that it's dark but also funny at times so the dark part doesn't get to be too heavy.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
