Yes I Agree. Kitchen Princess Starts Out Good But Gets Really Good Later On. Seeing That The RTO Gave It An a- Is A Good Rating For A Series That Is Not Popular Here. Also A- Is Deserved For Kitchen Princess Vol. 6. I Have Read It And So Many Twists Happen That It Was Presented Really Nice Very Happy I Recommend Starting The Kicthen Princess Series It Gets Good Later On Smile

While I haven't bought any manga from Tokyopop since Love Hina, I've been buying Viz Media and Del Ray's manga for several years.

The list of current manga I buy from them is, Bleach and Dr. Slump. But I've completed, MAR and Ranma 1/2.

As for Del Ray, I've been suporting Negima since Volume two, for four, almost five years now. Despite the fanservice, this really is a great series, though the fanserivce does kind of ruin the series a little bit.

Initally I tried Naruto, but found this series became far too overatted for me. I also read HunterXHunter for several years, but after the third arc, the series became far to violent for me.

Great RTO Mr. Santos, I look forward to next week.

Oh great, just what I need, a new manga with Kitchen Princess (I just filled up a second bookcase). All these good reviews have convinced me, so even though the art doesn't look 100% my taste, I think I may have to go look this up.

Stop hating on Vampire Knight! It is good and original, and this from someone who's read her share of vampire fiction. True, the first volume is a bit underwhelming compared to the later volumes but it is a really good series!

Vampire Knight went from about a 6/10 to about an 8/10 with the last couple of volumes from Japan. I hope the mangaka can keep it up.

I'm addicted to Kitchen Princess and I have no idea why. It's so mediocre, but I just keep buying it. I think it's those freaky recipes (I hope no one tries making them, the way they tend to leave out ingredients and important steps.).

I laughed at the Princess Ai review. I loved the series back my freshman year of high school, but now that I've gotten older, I really wonder what I found in that series. The art is gorgeous, but the storyline sucks.

I had to laugh about the heart shaped box comment. Rolling Eyes Gotta love Courtney Love.

As for Tokyopop, the only manga I buy from them anymore is Loveless, and that's it. I prefer Viz and Del-Ray to them because Tokyopop is just overrated now.


Tokyopop is way overrated nowadays Rolling Eyes I think now I only buy Fruits Basket from them. I do really hate that big red lable on the side of all their manga.

I'd just be thrilled if Tokyopop went back to a navigable website.

Finding release information is like pulling hen's teeth.

I absolutely despite Tokyopop's website design. It wasn't made to be useful, that's for sure Mad

FINALLY, someone besides me who has this problem.

Now that I think of this, Tokyopop also licensed Chibi Vampire, so I actually have read of there recent works.

Though after Love Hina, I wasn't sure Tokyopop would license any more interesting series, but I am glad Chibi Vampire was licensed by them.

But seriously, what the in world happened to the site?

I wholeheartedly agree with her review of Princess Ai. I have no idea who would read that overhyped pile of tripe, and also have no idea how the idea even got off the ground.

Stu Levy needs to get a new day job and stop trying to be "hip".

The only manga I even bother buying from them anymore are Loveless, .hack//GU+/XXXX and Welcome to the NHK, and all of those are soon to be completed.

I mean, GOD, they need to get their act together. I've found typos in every book of theirs that I own, the translations are shoddy at best, and laying off 39 employees at once only makes it worse.

Three words: QUALITY *BLEEPING* CONTROL.

Best. RTO. Ever.

Seriously, major applause at

I am surprised that anything involving one Christopher Hart could possibly bear an Evidence For section, but I suppose Carlo has to be fair.
