Meg Cabot's magical Arthurian epic continues...MANGA STYLE!
Being a new student at Avalon High has been exciting for Ellie, to say the least--she's an honor student, a star on the track team, and, oh yeah, dating the super-hot class president, Will. Who also happens to be the alleged reincarnation of King Arthur. Ellie couldn't be happier to have Will in her life, but she's also worried that his estrangement from his parents is tearing him apart. To make matters worse, Will's doubt that he really is King Arthur could prevent the Merlin Prophecy--an age of enlightenment--from occurring.
Can Ellie convince Will to believe in something that even she isn't sure about? And more importantly, can she get him to give his parents another chance?With all the mythology and mysticism of AVALON HIGH, Meg Cabot's very first manga is indeed a tale for the ages.
All in all, this was not the worst manga I have ever read, but it also was not close to the best. The drawings were pretty well done. I really loved the Arthurian outfits that were included. It gave a nice authentic feeling to it. While I am not too sure, if that is enough to make everyone keep reading, I think that I am willing to give the series another chance and attempt Vol. 2. I honestly hope that the second novel picks this series up a little bit because I really do want to like it, but it just hasn’t given me much of a reason to yet.

Seriousley I havent read any manga books or have watch any manga movies. It does sounds like a whole lot of fun. Maybe I should try a series. 🙂
I loved the book but haven’t read the manga yet. I love manga though.
I’ve been wondering about these. I loved the book, and I love manga, and yet I have been hesitant about picking these up. After this review, I’m feeling like I really might pass. It just doesn’t sound fantastic.
I never read Manga books before, maybe I should now? Hmmmm…
