5.0 out of 5 stars ^_^, December 1, 2003

This review is from: X-Day, Book 2 (Paperback)

I was not at all disappointed with the contents of volume 2 in this book. No offense to the past reviewers, but it's not really a short and sweet thing for X-Day to happen. They have to go through the whole thing slowly, and on the way to X-Day, wouldn't you like to see some of their problems solved? The characters keep me in suspense the whole way through; I wish to find more about them every time I learn something is hidden.

I know, just the plot of X-Day is impossible too, but that's what manga is for. Manga isn't to show real possiblities of life, but an imaginitive mind.

5 stars for this creative manga! I'm sorry if I offended anyone at all with my opinions. =)

This review is from: X-Day, Book 2 (Paperback)

I know that many people are disappointed with this book, but while I do understand that, I don't agree at all.

X-Day was... really out of reach. Whether or not the characters involved will pull it off is a mystery, and that's part of the emotion left behind by the book. Maybe it's never meant to happen.

Like a lot of people, I was looking for a longer storyline, though I'd already known it was only two books long. The abrupt ending surprised me, but it should be content, not length that makes a difference.

There's something about the book, the characters, the story, X-Day itself that should make all the readers think a little bit. I recommend it to anyone, even non-anime/manga fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars ONLY 2 BOOKS LONG!!?!?!? WTF!?!?!, April 30, 2006

This review is from: X-Day, Book 2 (Paperback)

You know how the Japanese bombed Pearl Habour? Well that's how I feel about X-Day a little bit. It's like they dropped a major bomb on me but on to the point. After I finshed reading the series that I borrowed from my friend, I was like: "I can't wait to see volume 3!" but when I tried to look it up on the internet for Volume 3 it said it doesn't exist so I was thinking what the heck but when I went on this site and it said X-Day is only 2 books long...I was crushed! I was thinking, well that just sucks! The first volume kept me on edge with plotting and planing or X-Day, the problems they were facing and the other dirty little secrets they have. I was craving more...so when I read the second volume I was so excited! At the beginning, I was loving it but it just stopped. It stopped. The plot was never finished,BIG cliff-hanger, and other things. It felt like a good movie that is suppose to be an hour long but they cut it to 30 minutes. I would say and I you can quote me this series could've been longer. Could've been at least 12 volumes long because that was way too short! Suddenly all their problems which they had for quite some time go away but just forgetting about? I understand X-Day plot because the plot of the story was X-Day is never reachable because this false day would bring 4 random people together with the same problems...basically this book is saying everybody has problems they are facing and they all want an X-Day to come. That is based on my literary crit. but this was a major disappointment. I wouldn't recommend it but I have to say I like the book because of some scenes and pictures in the book and the juicy dirty secrets but come on. This book has more potential than being only 2 volumes long.
