About the Author

Arina Tanemura began her manga career in 1996 at the early age of 18,

when her short stories debuted in Ribon magazine. Tanemura gained

notoriety with the 1997 publication of I-O-N, a high school romance with

a supernatural twist. From 1998 to 2000, she worked on the popular series

Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, about a young girl who is the reincarnation of

Joan of Arc, followed by Time Stranger Kyoko in 2000-2001 and Full

Moon o Sagashite in 2002. Despite Tanemura's intentions to draw in a style

that makes her stories difficult to animate, both Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne

and Full Moon o Sagashite have been adapted into TV series.

This review is from: Time Stranger Kyoko, Vol. 2 (Shojo Beat Manga) (Paperback)

Arina Tanemura has yet to let me down on any of her stories. The art is beautiful as always and the storyline interesting. Just the first two books in this series can be satisfying in their own, even though it doesn't finish the story. (Though I'm not saying to stop here the third book is icing on the cake.) I highly recommend to any shoujo lover or of course, to any of Arina's many fans!

This review is from: Time Stranger Kyoko, Vol. 2 (Shojo Beat Manga) (Paperback)

Fun and a little silly, never ending on a bad note. It's really a delightful read and a good adventure. If you are looking for a present for a girl under the age of fourteen, this is pretty good. The whole series is summed up in three volumes, easy to read, and beautifully illustrated.

As I've said before, if you opt for buying the books this far, just buy all three together.
