5.0 out of 5 stars
...magic knight rayearth, August 16, 2000
This review is from: Magic Knight Rayearth #4 (Paperback)
I am a big fan of the japanese comics(manga)...and of all the books i have read none have ever touched me so deeply as this book has done. I give the whole series 5 stars. The story in the 3rd book, did a 180 on me. The opposite of what i was expecting happened, which i found very appealing. I love the very detailed drawings,...which really show the characters emotions. A combination of the story line and drawings, is what really got me. I have never cried before when reading a book let alone a comic. I can honestly say that magic knight rayearth has become my new favorite manga. I strongly suggest you read this. It also has humor in it which I find most appealing. I know as you read this you're probably thinking yeah i've heard it all before...so i don't want to ramble on. Please,...read these books they're soooo good. I am making all my friends read it. Fortunately, i won't have to force them...because I know they will love reading it. DEFINETELY WORTH YOUR TIME! ...I love CLAMP!

EEEK what happened??, August 10, 2002
This review is from: Magic Knight Rayearth #4 (Paperback)
Geez this manga was really good for the first three books. I read them awhile ago but after being distracted by about a hundred other titles I just recentlty returned to it. I really did enjoy the other volumes but I don't really like this book of the series. Volume four continues where three left off, their mission completed and now the world's left without a ruler in chaos. What happened to all the light hearted humour? This volume was seriously depressing. There are lots of other manga and anime I can turn to if I want a sad meaningful story but it just didn't seem to fit with this series. Augh why did they have to start turning the series into a freakin' drama. Everyone mopes around and acually APOLOGIZES for acting goofy and rude (but, I mean they were just messing around and having fun) in the first three books. I dunno I may or may not continue this series out of curiosity of how it will end.

Great "Second Season" of Rayearth manga!, June 14, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Magic Knight Rayearth #4 (Paperback)
The first three books of Rayearth were very good in their story arc, but a bit predictable. This 4th book kicks off another arc of story - and what a great arc it is! This second part delves much more into the three girls' psyches, especially Hikaru's. Not only that, but we're introduced to several great new characters that seem to appear fully fleshed-out and ready for action. The way two of the male characters react to each other and Hikaru is especially interesting - they can see her potential. I definitely recommend books 4 - 6, especially if you were disappointed with the sad ending of book 3. This new arc, I have to tell you, does end on a happy note. Quite an INTERESTING note, too, I might add. There are lots of twists and turns, plus some hints of romance, so if you're looking for adventure, slight romance, and intelligent story, you've come to the right manga book. :) Oh yeah, and you get to see Mokona again. What more could you ask for?
