Another (Another (Manga)) Paperback – 15 Oct. 2013

[SPOILER FREE]Beautifully detailed throughout, I wasn't let down on a single page. Even the smallest details are captured and demand your full attention, rightfully so as well. The colour pages are especially breathtaking and Hiro Kiyohara is absolutely in a league of his own.The characters were each given a fair amount of time in this story, none felt left out or 'hollow'. Though the story is very much dark, I enjoyed that there was some light hearted moments, tiny hints of romance and even some comedy to be found.A truly memorable series, I can't think of anything that went unanswered and I feel the length of the manga was good. Of course with any title enjoyed this much it could always be longer, but considering it was originally intended to be two volumes in length I can't complain.Very interesting and thought provoking story, I found myself questioning pretty much every characters being.My only gripe with the contents is the afterword was a bit of a let down, I was really hoping for a bit more after becoming so engaged in the story. You can't have it all, though!The book itself, although it's quite large, is easy and comfortable to read (and I have quite small hands). The cover is very high quality gloss. I haven't experienced any cracking of the spine, even after letting the book rest open on a flat surface when reading. It still looks brand new!If you're considering purchasing this, at it's currently price (less than £15) it really is excellent value for money. Remember, it's FOUR volumes in one.I know I'll be reading this many times again in the future!

The book collects all the volumes of the series in this one large edition of about 750 pages.The story is good and creepy, the artwork is impressive also. The only negative is the questionable translation at certain points, though this isn't enough to put a buyer off. The size of the book's pages are about 1/3 larger than individually collected mangaPros- Good story- Good art- Atmospheric- Entire series in one book- Good priceCons- An odd translation here and there which leaves the reader trying to figure out what was meantHighly recommended for J-Horror fansFans should also check out the anime that was based on this manga, though ignore the Japanese live action movie adaption.

Lovely Manga Artstyle is very good and enjoyable (if you are into horror) but other than that this is a very very good manga. Shoutout to Hiro Kiyohara for the art and to Yukito Ayatsuji for the story perfect manga!

Great book, lovely artwork. I Did not figure it out before the end either. Well worth a read. Highly recommended, especially if you like manga books.

Another is a manga adaption of the light novel - and subsequent anime - of the same name. It's a whooping 700 pages long and the size of a standard omnibus by Kodansha or VIZ Signature with nice quality paper and art.The story itself tells us about Class 3, a class with a murderous curse. We follow the main characters and those around him as we must discover whom isn't meant to be there, how to stop these tragedies and Sakaki's relation to this town along with Mei Masaki.With detailed deaths, easy flowing dialogue and an unravelling mystery it's certainly worth the read. Whilst mine did arrive slightly damaged it was easy enough to get out most of the creases.

I haven't read the manga yet, but I thought I'd mention that the book, for some reason, came with a Match Attax football trading card (see images). Which is completely baffling to me, if anyone can shed some light on why or how this happened I'd appreciate it 'cause i'm curious. It's not a bad or good thing, just interesting. (It's probably just a packaging issue, don't let this sway you from not buying the book)As a side note, the book is quite floppy, it takes paperback to a whole other level. I don't have an issue with this, but it's worth noting.

Wonderful! Actually thought I was buying the novel, and was surprised when I got a full manga, but it's probably better than what I was expecting. Big, thick book, a lot of content.

After watching the Anime I thought I might as-well get the manga. I can honestly say this was one my my best purchases so far.There are some differences between the Anime and Manga so this is a point in getting this. When I received the book it was in Perfect condition, This is a must buy for any fan of the Series.
