This story is really cute, funny, and romantic! Miracle Girls is a great thing to read. The story revolves around twins Toni, a tom-boy and older twin, and Mika, resident brain at her school. Mika and Toni go to different schools and, here's the twist that makes the story interesting, have psysic powers. In this book, we meet Toni and Mika and learn about their powers. They switch places so that Mika won't have to participate in Sports Day at her school. Toni falls in love with Mika's arch-rival, Jackson Neil. They are both on the same relay team along with the person that Mika seems to be in love with, Chris. All in all, this is a great story and I definately recommend it to anyone who is into books like Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura. I left out a lot of things that happened in the book as well, so you'll just have to read to find out!

Mikage and Tomomi Matsunaga are teenage girls. Most descriptions will say that they are "normal" or "average". Not exactly. Mikage has a nack for blowing up things, and Tomomi is an excelent athlete. Not normal, but not unlike all other girls. The other thing that sets them apart is the fact that they have secret mental powers. And a snoopy science teacher determined to discover their secrets.

When I first heard of this series, I wasn't sure that I'd like it. But when I managed to get ahold of a few fansubs, I fell in love with it. It's not a crime fighting or Clow capturing series. It's a teen love story with a paranormal twist. Very good.

If the names "Mikage" and "Tomomi" don't ring a bell, it's because Mixx/Tokyopop publishing thinks that as an American, you're too stupid to handle foreign names and concepts. Mikage turned into "Mika", and Tomomi turned into "Toni". Because of this, I recomend buying the Japanese original, and hunting around online for a translation. It beats buying a poorly printed and edited translation. Did I mention that aside from reversing the art, they hype up the contrast, and destroy the fine toutches and subtleties of the original art as well? Don't buy the Mixx. It doesn't supply the story. And it doesn't supply the art. What does it supply then? [money] to the translation butchers, that's what.

This is the first manga I have ever owned. There are 9 volumes in total.
Pros: Very cute
Good plot

Cons: Slow beginning
No real action
If you're willing to take the time to get in to this series, you can count on it to be a good read! HAPPY READING!

"Miracle Girls" is a wonderful manga about two twin sisters with psychic powers that look alike, but are really very different. It starts off a little slow (like most stories do) but it quickly gets better! I don't want to give away the plotline because it is much better if find out for yourself, but I guarantee you will love it!

Don't get me wrong. Miracle Girls is one of my favorite series. It features one of my favorite characters of all time -- Mikage Matsunaga.

But blech. Was there a reason for them to go changing the names? (Mika and Toni I could live with -- under huge protest -- but Jackson and Chris?! Umm.. no.) I'm so tired of companies who feel that people in the US can't relate to anyone with names that don't sound like the members of a boyband. I'm a little iffy on the translation too. If at all possible, buy the original japanese version.

I bought this for my sister, mainly because she wanted to own a manga of this series, and she chose the first one. She loves it, and she wants the rest of the series now.

When I first decided to buy this manga, the description on the back seemed somewhat stale. The whole teleportation and telepathy thing between Mika and Toni seemed somewhat old, but I bought it nonetheless.

Now don't get me wrong, I do like this manga, but the sister switch has been played on too many times. This isn't your typical shoujo manga but it is very predictable. I hope that Miracle Girls vol.2 is somewhat better than the first.

This was the first book by this author I've read and now it's one of my favorites! Toni & Mika are totally different, but when they switch for sports day it gets so messed up. Toni is the jock and Mika's the brain, but with the help of some wigs, no one can tell them apart. She really gets out the character in everyone and keeps it the same instead of fiddling with it. If you're new to the world of Japanese Manga, this is a great place to start.

Is there a difference....yeah kind of. For starters, the " Miracle Girls" are twin sisters, Toni who is very athletic, and Mika who is very smart. And also another thing. They have pyshic powers. They can read each others minds and when they are together they can teleport to different locations. So far they only use that power to get themselves to school on time. Well the story starts out with Mika and Toni switching identities, because Mika wants to win a running marathon(something like that) to impress the guy that she likes, but since she's not athletic she asks Toni to switch and act like her to win the race. In the meantime Toni grows a crush on Mika's enemy( they don't tell you why she doesn't like him in the first book) Basically the book goes on like this with Toni brooding over her new crush Jackson, I don't want to tell you the whole story but a little more does happen. It's not majorly suspensful or action packed, but it's cute and light reading and as the story continues it gets even better. Definately a entertaining manga. Enjoy!!!

It was good but I hate how you had to buy the 2nd one to finish the 1st one's ending! I borrowed it from a friend to loves anime and manga and then of course she didn't have the 2nd one! This story has been played a lot like The Parent Trap, and It Takes Two but I did like it after all! I'd recommend this to girls ages 10-14!
