Lucky-Star 1 Paperback – May 15, 2009

A friend introduced me to the LS anime; and I was excited to hear that the manga was finally going to be released stateside. The anime was constructed by 4-panel comic artwork; it's actually quite interesting to see what was pulled from the manga and what was extended for the anime. Book and video are two completely different forms of entertainment; I just don't comprehend how anyone can compare them... like novel-to-film, etcetera. You almost have to love both for their entertainment value; the 3D anime brings a 2D manga art form to life and expands on it; so "Yes", it could be considered 'better', however -- there's hidden gems still left in the manga, and the book is historical and your brain fills in the missing parts between the panels quite easily. I chuckled and laughed throughout the book; cannot wait for the next installments.

I really am glad that these books are becoming available through the Kindle, as the long out-of-print copies, especially if you want them new can cost a freaking ton of money. A really charming slice-of-life series of manga (comic style) books center mainly on four high school girls named Konata, Kagami, Tsukasa and Miyuki. Each have their very own and distinctive personalities and are really fun characters to follow in their day-to-day lives. I was originally introduced to this series though the anime by the same name. In all honesty I've not had much exposure to anime and manga, so I can't really compare this to much other genres of manga, but if you like slice-of-life comedy, I certainly feel I can recommend them.

I love watching anime and reading manga but the reason i bought this manga used was because i needed a old manga that could use for my project drift truck, when i got the book most of the pages were torn up but it didnt matter cause i needed to cut out the paged to glue onto my truck. ever since i glued the pages onto my truck people always stop buy to read the pages glued on to my truck and it gets alot of positive attention and this get people into wanting to read manga and watch anime. I might have bought a old torn up manga but it definitely was fun to use for my project!!!1

There isn't much of a story, think of it like Azumanga Daioh with their multi-stories I guess , Fun to read though

I watched the anime first, but when I saw this at such a great price I had to order it. It actually had a few pages I hadn't seen in the anime, which was pleasing to read, and it was very fun to read, because if you're a fan of the anime you can pretty much imagine their voices when reading, which makes it even better.It took about a week to get the manga, and it was worth every penny! ^_^

My grandnephew was very happy when receive the book. So I was very happy also but it was very expensive. Thanks. Mracelo bj from Brazil.

Lucky Star is a fun series about 4 high school girls (and occasionally others) as they live their lives. There is nothing special, just a bunch of high schooler students balancing their social, family, and school lives, all inter cut with comedy about pop culture, social commentary, and the best way to eat chocolate-filled pastries.
