Please Save My Earth, Vol. 1 Paperback – October 29, 2003

I watched the anime back in the day and it was a 6 or 8 part series. I can't remember. Never got to read the manga until now. It is really good. The story is engaging and there so far were a few plot points left out. I feel like Alice (the main character) is more fleshed out. There are longer explanations and character traits of other characters, which is nice. Can't wait to read Book #2.

Gift

I heard a lot of good things about this story and was not disappointed. I find it very fascinating how these kids dream about their past lives to the point of taking over their decisions and their way of thinking. What I liked most about this story is the originality and how thing after thing happens, every volume is exciting.

What

The manga is always much more detail but I love the mix of everyday life and sci-fi. The characters have some nice development as well.

Vary goood It was a little bend but hay I got it for 0.01. It was in vary good condetion

I saw the six episode OAV for Please Save My Earth long ago, fan subs and all. The series immediately captured my heart, and has been one of my all-time favorites for years. It's truly masterful storytelling, and the first volume is too hilarious for words ^^Since I find the synopsis provided by the site unstatysfying, I'll help you out. Alice is a really shy, passive girl that just moved to Tokyo from far-off Hokkaido. She has an odd gift for communicating with plants and animals, so the urban setting doesn't thrill her much. To top things off, she's not fitting in at school, and her bratty (and cruel!) seven year old neighbor, Kobayashi Rin, torments her constantly. She ends up overhearing an (coughcough) *odd* conversation between classmate Ogura Jinpachi and his (coughcough) *friend* Nishikiori Issei. Alice, embarrassed to no end, runs off, but not before she steps on a leaf, notifying them of her presence. Later, Alice takes Rin to the zoo, where she runs into these two again. In an effort to clear up the misunderstanding, Jinpachi takes Alice and co. to a nearby coffee shop and begins to explain their situation. Turns out, he and his buddy Issei have been having dreams in a common setting since middle school, involving the same people and times. In this dream life, they are alien scentists living on a moon base, studying the Earth they adore from afar. Alice, fascinated by their story, is swept up in the magic of it all. But when an accident occurs, and feelings are running amok (as should happen in the shoujo manga world), Alice finds herself wrapped up in this "story" far more than she could have ever guessed...Saki Hiwatari is truly a master of crafting a story and it's characters. Issei is my favorite because I'm in a situation so similar to his, I can truly relate to it. Her characters are so real, and the story is so magical and compelling. It takes some practice remembering all the names (Shion Mokuren Gyokuran Enju Shushuran Hiiragi Shukaido, say THAT 5 times fast!), but it's really easy to get into once you get the hang of it. PLEASE don't let the old school art deter you (PSME is from the 80's, after all...), it's really charming in it's own way, and it improves as Hiwatari-san gets closer to her characters.For fans of the old OAVs- READ THIS. It has more comedy and more filler, and it actually FINISHES THE STORY!! The 6 OAVs could not possibly convey all that happens in this manga (spanning 20 plus volumes!!). This is a must-read, you heard it straight from the Otaku's mouth.

I really liked this one. The artwork was great. I loved the detailing in the various scenes. Plus I really liked all the different flowers. Plus at the end of the book there's a nice little list of all the flowers that are pictured and their different meanings.I liked the story too. There were a lot of parts that made me laugh out loud. Plus there were some really sweet parts too. I liked Alice and her brother...but personally I wanedt to slap Rin too. He's such a little brat!!!I don't think that the summery gives an accurate idea of the book though. It implies that Alice is dreaming of being the woman on the moon throughout the whole book, and I didn't get that impression at all. In fact the women she is dreaming about on the moon doesn't show up until near the end. It didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book though. If you haven't had a chance to read Please Save My Earth I definitely recommend it. If you have issues with cursing though be advised that they do curse. So if your a parent looking for book definitely read it first to see if you're comfortable with the words that are used.

『ぼくの地球を守って』は随分前に読んだことのあるとても好きな漫画の一つでした。最近英語の勉強を始め、何か飽きないで続く勉強方法はないかといろいろ英語教材の本とか買って試してみたりしたのですが、なかなか続くものがなく、、、でもネットで洋書のコミックスがあることを知り、ひょっとしてこれは！と思って試しに１，２巻を購入してみました。はっきり言って面白かったです！原作を知っているのでだいたいの内容は把握できますし、英語だとこんな表現をするんだ～という発見もできました。あと本に書いてある「擬音」が面白かったです。英語の「擬音」が分かるのも漫画ならではだと思います。もともと原作が面白いので、初めての方も楽しめると思います♪
