This book was a great read! It was quirky and fun! And the designs for the clothes used in the book was a plus!
A cute and fun book for teens with positive messages. I would recommend it except that the series was never finished.
I like Amy Reeder's recent output, especially her art, but this first effort from back in 2006 shows she still had a lot of growing to do as a writer and artist.Anyhow, a high school nonconformist finds herself in the center of the school social scene when she creates a secret club where girls can accuse and blacklist boys who behave poorly toward them. Bad boys are rated pyrite -- fool's gold -- to be avoided. Things of course go awry in obvious and silly ways.I know I read a more recent graphi...
This is the first in a series of manga aimed at young women. The main character starts a club where girls tell one another about boys they know who are not nice to girls - are abusive, cheat, lie, or other various mean things. It's about empowering young women to stand up for themselves and see their own worth.I liked the art work and the theme of this manga, and will be reading further books in the series. I'm anxious to see if the main gal gets any trouble for her little club, or if she takes
I am sure that I would have appreciated this better under the title of Pyrite, but underdogs get power and then abuse others. Welcome to the new boss same as the old boss
I'm really interested in seeing where this series goes to. It's a high school drama with really pretty artwork. (I so love Amy's artwork!)
Like all TokyoPop books this one was fun and silly and you know it's all going to fall apart somewhere. I loved Penny's plan & how all the girls stick together, but I've got to say, I'm curious about Blake!
I'm rather surprised that this manga has been out as long as it has without my hearing about it, or without attaining an at least noticeable amount of popularity. This unexpectedly well-crafted manga features unique and well-realized characters, excellent art, and a sense of drama that, while definitely of the high school variety, is not as overbearing or annoying as many high-school-style dramas quickly become. (Character-wise, I particularly enjoyed the fact that its main character makes her o...
Oh dear god, it's the crystallization of the "girls like Jerks not Nice Guys" cliche in comic book form. I feel unclean.
A very fun book! The characters and premise are super enjoyable! I can’t wait to get the next book!
This OEL shojo manga is one of my guilty pleasures. I liked it very much, not sure why, artwork tends to be a little bit awkward sometimes but it doesn't matter, the story is lovely and I'll be sure to pick up next volume. *^_^*
Je obrovská škoda, že u toho komiksu u nás nevydali pokračování. Dobrý námět na příběh a hlavně velice inspirativní kostýmy, oblečení a styl celé kresby.
Me discovering old OEL manga. I love the art of this manga. The author did a wonderful job with the clothes and accessories; on the contrary, I don't think she's that good at drawing faces. Sometimes the character have a very weird expression.I didn't like the plot that much. The main character, after seeing how a jerk mistreats her best friend, decides to create a geology club in which all the girls can complain and take action against the jerks in their school. In fact, jerks are like pyrite:
Love the drawings and the suspense. The female lead was rather unexpected? I like how she's not your typical maiden in distress and shit. I really love this manga, but I'm really upset that it stopped after Vol. 2. & it was really hard to find! T__________T read it years ago,
I love this graphic novel. The art is fantastic. The story is funny and it doesn't involve anything other than ordinary high school life, which is rare for the graphic novels I've read.
So far, I'm learning that I seem to be pickier about OEL/global manga than Japanese manga.[Further explanation in comments.:]
