From the Author

""It's usually the other way around, but the [.hack] manga is better, though it's clear from the story and art that it's supposed to skew more towards girls... While it's undeniably slight and silly, it's enjoyable and a way of getting the target audience into role-playing games in general and epic fantasy in particular.""

-- S.A. Bennett, Comic Buyer's Guide ""While established fans of .hack will probably be the immediate audience for the manga, it speaks worlds about the talent and creative team that the first volume of the series is so easy to get into.. .hack accomplishes the rarest of goals: It capitalizes on a successful property while building its own indentity. It's fun, fast-paced and a welcome addition to the growing hit saga.""

-- Troy Brownfield, Newtype USA

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting conclusion to the .hack manga series., October 31, 2004

This review is from: .Hack//Legend of the Twilight Vol. 3 (Paperback)

I've been eagerly awaiting volume 3, the conclusion of this series, since I read the first two volumes months ago, especially with the cliffhanger ending of volume 2. I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. Volume 3 picks up right where 2 left off, continuing the adventures of Shugo, Rena, and their companions in The World. Some of the mysteries are finally revealed, although in the usual .hack style, some are left unanswered. I especially liked how long this volume was (the main story is about 235 pages long), and since I played the video game series, it was nice to see some characters from it reappear. There is also a really nice bonus section at the end, with a short story about Mireille, called .hack//Rare Hunter, as well as another about Reki, Balmung's assistant. There are also a couple of behind the scenes features, and a picture of all the characters in real life. .hack fans who read and enjoyed the first two volumes of the manga series won't want to miss the conclusion, and those fans who haven't read the manga should definitely check it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fitting end..., March 27, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: .Hack//Legend of the Twilight Vol. 3 (Paperback)

I actually, am a HUGE fan of the .Hack manga series. When I found out that #3 was the final volume, I was a little depressed. (Just a little.) But, I decided to finish the series, and the first day I got the third book, I finished it. The conclusion was a good one, and really ended the series well. Personally, I wish it didn't have to end. Oh well.


May the .Hack series rest in peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST!, April 18, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: .Hack//Legend of the Twilight Vol. 3 (Paperback)

*sob* I love this Manga. It's by far the best. *sob* BUT NOW IT'S DONE!!!!!!!!!!! So I've read it multiple times, and it Never gets old. I'm not giving anything away. But it's the best Manga if you're a fan of the series. And you'd think it was all 'oh, its over, lets just wrap it up', but NO, it's got action and a little sobs at the end//happy sobs.
.Hack Vol. 3 deserves 100000000000000000000000000000000000 out of 5 stars, really. Buy it and you wont be dissapointed.
