The Guyver is THE best manga/anime series ever, May 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bio Booster Armor Guyver (Viz Graphic Novel) (Paperback)
Ever since the first issue of the Viz translation came out, I've been hooked on this series. The art and story are both amazing. The plot is surprising and dramatic. Anybody who's a fan of this series should also check out the anime series, which is pretty close to the manga plot, except it introduces characters a bit faster, and it doesn't run as long (I think). Also, the Guyver series is still going on in Japan. I think that it's on issue 80 or something now, and it shows no signs of stopping. Please Viz, bring us the rest of this story!

The start to a story that's bigger than life, October 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Bio Booster Armor Guyver (Viz Graphic Novel) (Paperback)
I didn't read the first "Bio-Booster Armour Guyver" graphic novel expecting to get hooked. Actually, the first time I laid eyes on the series of books, I merely flipped through a few pages in the last volume ("Armageddon"), found that I couldn't make sense out of the dialogue, and then thought little more about it. Until, that is, I came across the very first book, and started reading it in the store. I didn't buy it, I just read it. But I bought the next volume, figuring that I'd just continue along. I didn't need the first book, if I had already read it, right? Well, I found that the second book just didn't seem right without the first one, so I bought the first one. Now, I have six out of the 7 published graphic novels, and I'm looking for the last one.
In the storyline, we are introduced to Sho, a high school student who accidentally activates a top-secret bio-boosting device called the G-Unit. This unit used to be in the hands of a ultra-secret organization called Chronos, and they want the unit back because it is the only thing that stand in the way of world domination. By activating it, Sho becomes bonded with the unit, which is actually the Guyver suit. Chronos quickly pursues Sho and his friends Tetsuro and Mizuki. If you buy this book, let me warn you..you might find yourself heading back to the bookstore for more!
Unfortunately, the publisher hasn't printed all of the volumes of the Guyver Comic books because of a lack of interest. But, if more people could see what this storyline is all about, I think that the demand would be far greater!

An action packed thrill ride, August 2, 2011
This review is from: Bio Booster Armor Guyver (Viz Graphic Novel) (Paperback)
One day me and my family went to the video store to rent movies. I quickly rushed to the anime section. I saw the Guyver 1989 OVA and thought it looked kool, so i rented it. I loved it immediately from the intro. When i picked up the book i realized it was different from the OVA, but loved it just as much. It has a superb plot and character, and the art is amazing. for any anime lover, cuz it has it all.
