I have to admit it, I keep expecting to get one of the stories & have it stink. I mean, how can a series keep going & still be entertaining? Many long-running mangas all seem to have the same problem: after a point in time the storyline starts to sag & the characters become one dimensional. Not so for this series!

This particular volume surrounds a traveling troupe of magicians and a death threat. The actions starts on a train (hence the title) and then moves into a hotel as the troupe is no longer on said train. (Sorry for the lack of detail, but anything else would ruin the plot!)

Would I recommend this? Yup! Even if you haven't read any of the other volumes you can still pick up & enjoy any of the manga since each volume is a self-contained story (with the exception of one two parter).

One of my favorite murder mystery mangas. It continues to keep the reader intrigued and guessing as to the idenity of the murderer.

Magic and blood fill the pages of "The Magical Express".

I was awaiting the next book in the series. The minute I saw the email from Amazon about preordering the book I did. I enjoyed this book very much as did my teenager brother. Anyone who is a fan of the series should get this book and even if you're not yet a fan this is a great book.
