Rosario+Vampire, Vol. 8: Lesson Eight: Shikigami

I must admitWhen I first got into the series just by watching the anime first. I actually ended up liking the series to the point where it sadly had to end with only 2 seasons and a total of 13 episodes in each season which are over all 26 episodes. Honestly I have to say even though It was "fan service" as we all might say due to comedy and some laughs and tons of running jokes about boobs, panties, and even sex. Despite all that I loved it still and it had tons of likeable characters such as Kurumu and Mizore.Soon After i started reading the mangas cause I wanted to see what was the difference and as soon as I read it I soon discovered there was more action and more details on WHY most characters are what they are. And Ive read all the books there was until the very end. And after reading em all it was all the more reason why I loved Rosario Vampire. And it became one of my most favorite animes.I even managed to get someone else into the series while i was at work, I know it wasn't necessary to buy these books when I already read them online. But I had couple reasons why I just bought them anyway. 1) was because I was reading a translated version off of Mangahere.com and I have come across a couples of pages where their conversations somewhat didnt make sense at all though I will give the translator credit for actually trying his/her very best. And 2) was because one of my co-workers which is the one I got him into liking it. Wanted to read and see for himself. Especially parts where he missed out on where Im sure he would wanna see for himself. So if you're just like me and you wanna read the mangas after seeing the series. Then BUY IT NOW!! You will not be sorry. It will answer most of your bothersome questions about some things you might of not understood from the episodes. And im sure it will be all the more reason to LOVE Rosario Vampire.

This is a great story that includes a lot of the monsters that we all know and love in a high school setting. It is cute, funny, action packed and sexy but I implore anyone who has seen the anime and hated it DON'T JUDGE THIS MANGA BY THE ANIME!!! The story is stronger, the dialogue is better and the characters are far less annoying!The manga does not insult your intelligence but still provides an array of fan service to the benefit of the story instead of at the expense of it. Everything from epic beat downs, dramatic transformations, to steamy situations without the ridiculous over abundance of panty shots and idiotic banter. But that is not to imply that there aren't ANY panty shots.Story wise it is very well written and will always leave you wanting more. One of the most likable things about the manga is the consistent character development between each other and independently. It is one of my favorite manga and I can't wait for the volumes to come.

In this book the storyline and action definitely raise a notch. If you have read the series up to this book, I would say it's a must have.

Tsukune deals with the leader of the anti-schoolers. Shit's getting real! It really makes you want to jump into volume nine immediately. Which is what I did, because got the first 10 volumes together.

I watched the anime first and I read a lot of comments about anime vs manga so I started reading manga. Love it

One of my favorite Volumes as ruby is in the spotlight...she's a little bit of a masochist but that's okay :]

I am not usually big in to the harem series but love this one. I highly recommend this. Really come to love all the characters.

easy to read and to keep it in your head to read the next book

With the Yokai Academy Festival approaching, the Headmaster has `asked' Tsukune to take part in the planning and running of the three day event by joining the Festival Committee. While there Tsukune makes a new friend in the form of the charismatic head of the Yokai Academy Student Council Hokuto Kaneshiro. Things aren't all good though as the Committee has been infiltrated by the Anti-Schoolers and Tsukune is the bait to draw them out.This eighth volume of `Rosario+Vampire' is another very entertaining volume. The volume includes a few nice, if short, battles and some interesting plot developments as we discover the true aim of the Anti-Schoolers and the mastermind of all of Tsukune's troubles is revealed. The volume also gives a little information on how humans are kept from discovering Yokai Academy and who founded the school.This was an enjoyable volume that is well worth five stars.

Good quality

this is another great manga series very good story arc and the print is also very good well worth buying

What I can say, it may not be the perfect manga on the earth but I simply love it, interesting and funny only wish that there was a more romance there for my own preferences.
