5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent manga, March 29, 2004

By	Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is the second in the five-book series, Angelic Layer, and picks up immediate where the first book left off. The Angelic Layer tournament in Kanto continues, presenting Misaki Suzuhara with a series of challenges that test both her ability to control her angel, and her love for her angel. But, along with her cheering friends and strange mentor, there are others watching her back. There's more than one mystery involved here!

This is another excellent manga, every bit as good as Angelic Layer 1, which is saying a lot! I enjoyed the characters and the interesting plot-twists. I must say that you really quickly get drawn into the story, feeling all of the excitement of the tournament. The story is intense, and yet quite fun and friendly, making this a good story for kids as well. As with the book 1, this book is printed so as to be read from back-to-front, right-to-left, in the Japanese style, helping to give the reader the feeling of entering another world. I really enjoyed this book, and found the story to be absolutely enthralling. I highly recommend this book!

This Angelic layers is one of the funniest and one of the most action-packed Angelic layers. I very Highly reccomend this to anyone, just get the first one along with it though or you may have to read it a few times before you get who everybody is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angelic Layer ROCKS! ^^, November 23, 2002

By	Miki Koishii Ryu (USA) - See all my reviews

Okay, this anime by CLAMP is closer to Cardcaptor Sakura than to say, X1999. It's pretty light hearted and i would say this is one of my favorite manga series....

Angelic Layer is about an 12 year old girl named Misaki Suzuhara (AKA Misakichii by her friends! ^^) who, after watching a TV commercial of Angelic Layer, wants to play Angelic Layer! She loved seeing how the smaller angel was able to defeat the larger angel, cuz she's not exactly what people would call big for her age. Someone even thought she was 9!Angelic Layer is having to "angel" (like dolls) fight. You use a special thing to communicate with it (Sorry, i don't know what its called.).

In the beginning of Angelic Layer you'll see a newspaper like thing and if you're a CLAMP fan, you'll DEFINITELY recognize alot of the stuff they're talking about! *Grins*
