Rave Master - Page 3

I suspect, if I first came across Rave Master as an anime series, I wouldn't give its story much time. (Recently came across an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh - a shonen manga series I've enjoyed since its English language debut in Shonen Jump - on the Cartoon Network, and I barely lasted five minutes!) But after finishing volume one, I'm caught enough to look for the second at my local Barnes & Noble. On the cover to volume two, I see Haru wearing a loud shirt and headphones, hunched over a turntable with Plue scratching on a record. Now that's just oddball, I can't help thinking as I take the book to the checkout counter. But it ensures that I'll be reading this series for at least two more volumes. . .

    I can agree with the "oddball" part. For the past couple of weeks, one of my male friends started on the subject of Rave Master and kept on going on and on about how it was "an awesome manga". His opinion, not mine. Until yesterday, I realized that I didn't have some reading material for school Monday. So, I borrowed my dad's car and zipped up to the Waldenbook's at our mall. I looked in the manga section [as a last resort] and found myself picking up a copy of Rave Master. So, I sat down on the carpet and started to read volume 1. Many pages later, I decided to buy it and when I finished it at school, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be..I loved it!!!!!! Then again this is my opinion and comment. Try it, you may like it:)
    Well, that's that...Ciao(^_~)

    Rave Master is a COOL series! I own 7 volumes right now. In volume one it might be a little odd, but, it gets deeper the more you read! READ RAVE!!!
