In this comic series, who would of known such a great anime/manga could beat every other concievable form of entertainment known to man? I sure the hell didn't. The story starts out with 3 characters, Hikaru Shidou, a 14 year old Junior High School student on the trip to Tokyo tower with Umi Ryuuzaki and Fuu Houoji who are also in the same grade but go to different schools..They get transpoted to a realm called "Cerphio" where they learn Magic and try to save this land from the evil Zagato. Stereotypical? Prehaps..but still Cool! The Drawings are well done B&W and they show the character emotions real well..The dialoge is just AMAZING! Unlike the boring unreal mundane dialouge of some other manga's, Rayearth's is translated VERY well with a believeable feel that the girls ACT their age. We have Umi,the stuck up rich psycho, Hikaru, the cute lil heroism female, and Fuu, the quiet and shy, although polite and kind (And not to mention a genius) act sooooo believeable. Trust me..! And Ferio and Fuu, well..they are soooo made for each other! ^_^ There are some parts in the manga where Umi shows off her true feelings and is not the pompus rich snot like we thought! ^_^ The manga also contains lots of character changes. Its so interesting to see the anthology of a character turned into the next! This is just so cute, so romantic, so adventurous, so exciting! I CAN'T PUT THIS MANGA DOWN! I LOVE IT! I haven't fallen love with a comic book like this EVER before! And no, it's not just for girls...its for us guys too, so don't be like I used to be before.."Oh, its a girl comic...Bah! Prolly sucks..." DON'T! IT CONTAINS EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE OF ALL AGES AND GENDERS! My final word on this masterpiece by Clamp! Well...Tired of the boring mundane humor of the Sunday comics? TIRED of the stupid Marvel Comics X-men? Pick up a copy of Magic Knight Rayearth right now! Your brain doesn't need to be wasted on anything else..^_^

I thought that the first two books were spectacular, but volume three in this series just blew me away! The artwork, as always, was beautiful, and the plot twist at the end just made me plotz!

I wish Volume 4 (Yes, there is a 4th, 5th and 6th volume!) would come out sooner than June 2000, but better then than never!

I laughed. I cried. I "puu"ed. How can a cute little story about three girls in a magical faraway place stir so much emotion? The plot seems about as trite as it gets, but the ending is always what gets me. I've seen the anime series twice, played the SNES game, and read the manga Vols. 1-3, but I *still* cry everytime I get to the end. There isn't any other story that does that to me. Rayearth may be a stereotypical fairy tale to some, but it's a fairy tale that pulls on your heartstrings. Buy it and be amazed.

The third (and also last i think!) book was very good and at the end was a big surprise and was also very sad!

Yet again another glorious work by CLAMP. Their stellar artwork has given me cause to turn green with envy. This one was a shocker though, the ending was a suprise like none other. It leaves you acheing for the next ones in the series.

And as always CLAMP gives us charecters to fall in love with. Woderful design and fight scenes. I can't recomend this book enough, but make sure you get 1 and 2 first. You wouldn't want to be confused by this amazing tale of monsters and magic

Wow. This is the most amazing manga I have ever seen. For those of you who know Sailor Moon, you may be thinking "Just a take off of Sailor Moon." But quality speaks for its self. This manga series vibrates with amazing characters, beautiful artwork, an extremely emotional storyline, esquisite word choice, and a loveable plot. In the beginning it may be a little predictable but as you go on you are surprised at the realisim this world creates and haunted by the suspence that builds up. Every little part adds to the whole mood created. I was extremely pleased to find such a delightful yet serious manga only a click away. So if you are either an experimenting manga person or a junkie try this and you will find a whole new world and a whole new excellence. I would pesonally give this 10 stars.

I really liked this book.....but the ending was sad and not the most satisfactory.... i loved the first mkr book but the last one was sort of disappointing in the end. =(

I havn't even read these books yet and I already LOVE them! I ordered Vol.1 and 3 but I just wanted to ask if someone got #2. I looked for it and couldn't find it. If anyone knows how or where to get it , please tell me.

Magic Knight Rayearth is THE best manga I've ever read (FAR BETTER than Sailor Moon... that's for little kids and such...) My favortie charatar is Hikaru and Presea. You HAVE you read this series. I'm waiting for Rayearth to be on TV in the US.. *crosses fingers and hopes DiC doesn't dub the thing*

MKR is a GREAT read! I recommend all three novels! Even if you don't like the plot, you'll REALLY enjoy the art! But the plot is great too, so why worry if it's bad or not? ^_^ It's fun, exciting, and it's full of laughs! From the hillbilly girl who isn't looking for a fight, to Zagato, the bad guy himself, you'll find yourself not wanting to ever put this book down so you can stay in the lands of Cephero forever! :)
