I suggest we remove this from the list. It does not stand alone. Kate Norton, Manchester City Library

Obviously not a stand-alone... a manga serial. BTW, I buy the Ultimate Editions, which combine 2 of the paperbacks into one hardcover. The series has a devout and loyal following here in Newington, boys and girls. --Scott

Would you rule out every manga series because it's a series and not stand-alone? Granted this is one of the larger series, but the series is complete and not ongoing. Which is the criterium I would probably use. -- Julie andrews | Nashua Public Library

If this is the first book in the series, I say it stands just fine. However, if it's the first book, I don't think it fits the date criteria- my book #3 came out in '99. Not the best manga I've read, but the teens & tweens in Stratham like it well enough. (Ranma 1/2," "Train + Train," "Bleach," & "Death Note" are much more engaging). -Lucia, Wiggin Memorial Library, Stratham.
