Being a fan of the Persona 3 video game, I was happy to hear that there was going to be a manga adaption, and it's not that bad.

The story is the same as the video game, but you actually get to hear (or see/read) the main character (whose name is Minato Arisato in the manga) talk.

The art is decent, it could be better, but at least it's not too horrifying.

One of the reasons I love P3 so much is because of the characters. And I'm happy to see them still being the same in the manga.

I really do wish they would release more chapters, ... but so far, I'm liking this manga.

This should be a must-read for those that like P3. :3

A most wonderful movie, Saiyuki: Requiem should be seen by fans of the Saiyuki series. But it is also a great movie for those that have never seen the series or for those that like their bishounen HOT.

The story. I thought it was interesting in how the villian was in someway connected to Genjyo Sanzo and gang. Although the story could've probably been made into a 3 part episode (it also would've made a great filler).

The art. Compared to the first Saiyuki series, the movie's art is AMAZING. Crisp lineart, vibrant and dark colors, and Gojyo's hair is actually RED (compared to the first two ... seasons, in which his hair was some odd tint of purple or pink)

The sound. The music fit most of the scenes, and the voiceacting (in both the dub and sub) were phemominal. It saddens me that it was ADV Film's last job for Saiyuki, but at least they went out with a bang.

The characters. The Sanzo Ikkoku are just as memorable as they are in the show. The villian and herione of the movie were wonderful. Although it hurts me that Kougaiji's gang wasn't able to catch up with Sanzo, though they do help explain the story of the herione.

I really enjoyed this movie to bits and pieces (but that's because I am ahuge fan of Saiyuki), but like I said earlier, even non-fans would enjoy this feature. You don't need to see the series before you see the movie, but it does help. It's even better when you listen to the commentary.

Overall, Saiyuki: Requiem is a joy to see. I just hope that this won't be the only Saiyuki movie to be released. :D

This is one of the best manga that CLAMP has made. Sure, it may not be as popular as "xxxHOLIC" or "Card Captor Sakura", but it holds a special place in my heart.

For one, the artwork is done by Tsubaki Nekoi (formerly Mick Nekoi) and she does such an amazing job with the characters and backgrounds. Everytime I read Wish my breath is taken away by the art that leaps from the pages.

The story is delightful too. It's very charming and witty to say the least, just what you would expect from CLAMP.

The cast of characters helped me to enjoy the story, they're colorful and ... not too dull.

I'm rather sad that it is only 4 volumes long, because I really enjoyed this manga.

If you like love stories or are a CLAMP fan, then you MUST pick up Wish. :D
