This is my first review on MyAnimeList.net, so I apologise in adavance if I don't structure this review very well.

I picked up Magic Knight Rayearth in a bookshop for £15. Having come across a few CLAMP mangas before, I was rather intrigued. Was it worth the buy? Yes, it was.

Story: 8/10
For fantasy fans, the storyline may seem like something that's been done before. But despite this, the plot is gripping and fast-paced, yet there are also some more emotional moments. And the ending? It really isn't what you would expect. But wait, I've said too much.

Art: 9/10
The best thing about this manga, in my opinion, is the art. It's so detailed and every panel just looks gorgeous. The coloured artwork looks amazing too. If you're someone who doesn't really like a lot of screentone, though, you probably won't like the art as much.

Character: 7/10
I really felt for the characters, particuarly in the more emotional moments. However, they all look rather similar- you can only really tell them apart by their hairstyles and clothes. Plus, their personalities weren't that convincing to me for some reason. But that's probably just me being picky.

Enjoyment: 8/10
The stunning artwork and the gripping storyline made me enjoy this manga a lot, though I didn't really laugh out loud at the funny bits. Guess it just wasn't my kind of humour.

Overall: 9/10
If you don't mind overused plot aspects, a bit of blood and lots of screentone, you'll enjoy this manga a lot. A fun and thrilling adventure for all ages.
