I absolutely love the series Girl Got Game (Power!!). In this volume Kyo must come up for an explanation of why Chiharu felt what he felt when he touched her chest. Kyo decides he must act more like a guy and comes up with an idiotic plan to do it. Kyo tries to act like "one of the guys", obsessing over girls. Chiharu realizes Kyo is just trying to put up an act and calls him on it. What is poor Kyo going to do?

Normally,I would give this series five stars. I, actually, wanted to give it 3.5 stars, but rounded it to four. Half of the graphic novel (and I mean a full half)was extra stories, not even featuring the cast of Girl Got Game. I felt ripped off, like the series was trying to be dragged out in to more volumes so they could sell more. I didn't pay for the short stories, I wanted Girl Got Game. It didn't help that didn't even like the short stories. Oh well. I still like and recommend this series, just be aware of what's in this volume.(It came as a shock to me.) ^_^

I just have to say that I really loved this graphic novel!
It's the story of a girl who's father wants her to be a basketball player, so she ends up dressing as a boy to be on the boys' team (where all of attention and good players are). It doesn't really focus on basketball, but rather on the relationship between her and her roommate. I really enjoyed it and am trying to find the second one.
If it had any faults, it was that it moved just a little too quickly, but it doesn't really detract from the story.

The reason is, is that ONLY 1/2 actually has "Girl Got Game", the other 1/2 is filled with 2 side-stories. Not to say they are bad stories, they are'nt. I really like the first one, its a cute story about staying true to who you are. The second one isn't quite as good, a story about a girl whom is a dating a budding model whom models as a woman, but he is a man of course. And she enjoys his company more when he's dressed as woman, because he seems like less of a jerk.

The 1/2 that is Girl Got Game, isn't disapointing, it provides the laughs, and moves the relationship between Eniwa and Ryo forward. Its especially funny when Ryo tries to cover up what happened at the end of Volume 1, in case you don't remember Eniwa touched Ryo's unstrapped in chest. It is this predicament that is basically the center of Vol. 2.

All in all, I am looking forward to Volume 3, and also that it will be a WHOLE volume. :D yay!!!

God Bless & *enjoy* ~Amy

For all shoujo anime/manga fans out there, this is a must read! Of course, that's only my opinion. I really liked this series and I have already finished reading all of it in Chinese. Also, go read Fruits Basket and HANA-KIMI!!!!
