Customer Reviews

dramatic, romantic, humorous, horrific...absolutely stunning

It's hard for me to decide which one of the stories is my favorite because all of them are beautifully drawn with unique plots. "When My Eyes Got Wings" left me breathless (from both the shock and crying) so I'll probably say I like that one the best. Others, such as "Sleep and Forget", "The Face Pack", "Wedded Bliss", and "A Cry for Help", also left me wanting for more. "That Darn Cat", an autobiographical story of Rumiko Takahashi let us take a look at our favorite manga artist's life. Overall, great story, worth every penny! (And I mean it, cos God knows I'm broke from the anime convention I went to this summer...)

This is a wonderful book,and worth buying.

This book is really very funny,intamate,and charming.I've heard great things about Rumiko Takahashi,and it's all true(unless the few of us without brains havn't guessed yet,this is the first book of hers I've bought.might I also add that I have no brain either^_^)Well,if you're still not convinced,I'll anilize it,k? 1.'Wedded Bliss'.In this first story a young married couple find out the joy of a good fight to relieve stress,much to the dissapointment of their neighbors.When they try to stop,or get evicted, it's the worst possible thing in the world.I really liked this one,because let's face it,it was just plain hilarious. 2.'That Darn Cat'.This is a little bit of Ms.Takahashi's own life when she is asked to look after a cat.Very funny. 3.'Cry For Help'.The laughs keep rolling in in this third story about a boy who cries louder than the explosion of an a-bomb when he's in trouble. With a little help(or is it?)from an alien he fends off his enemies. 4.'War Council'.Ever wonder what'd happen if three student cuncils were battling for right to plan the school's budget?Well,wonder no more.This entertaining tale will keep you laughing even after you're done reading it. 5.'When My Eyes Got Wings'.Unlike the other stoies, this one is more serious.Ii's about a sick little boy who falls in love with a Junior High girl.But this is no ordinary boy,which makes for a beautifully written story.This is one that makes the whole thing buying. 6.'Sleep And Forget'.Another wonderfully serious story(personally I like the serious ones better). I can't explain it other than to say that it has a little bit of horror,an intruiging plot,and is a love story.Yet another one that ultimately makes this worthwhile. 7.'The Face Pack'.This last story lets you down on a light note.It's about these kids who are into wearing masks,even in public.But they soon learn that masks are only used for entertainment,not for your own ends. That's it!Buy this book,you'll love it!I know I did.

Love it!

I love the book. Personally, I love the story Fire Tripper the best. If you are thinking about bying the book, this story should help convince you. It has romance, comedy, and action. It is story about a girl who lived during fuedal times, but was somehow sent to the future (our time). She grew up never knowing that she belonged in the past. I am not going to tell anymore otherwise it would ruin the story! ^_^

Great manga!

I am a very big Takahashi fan, so I was very happy when I found this book. I like reading short stories by her and this was an exceptionally good collection. My very favorite was "Fire Tripper". It had a really surprising twist. I read this book over and over again and never get tired of it.

Intese wording and beautiful art

I bought this book a while ago, on a whim, but I must say it is one of the BEST manga I own. My particular favourite I fell in love was the last one, by the name of "The Laughing Target". I don't think the title explains the story well, but I cried at the end if it's a consolation. Azusa has become a staple in everything I do(yes, this IS possible), her charachter, allthough posessed, was done beautifully. This book is worth the steep price, deffinately.
