How many times does Bella say Edward is attractive, someone says an asinine line, and how many times I wanted to chuck the book in the trash. I honestly could've made a drinking game out of the book: I hated the shoddy writing and lack of plot. Hate to break it to you, sweetie, I don't care what he is - no one is perfect.

No matter how hard I tried, I pictured some girl with red hair and obsessive personality disorder. He wasn't a man to me, I couldn't picture him as a man. manly?

All the hype about the cartoon and card game sapped my interest, but I was pleasantly surprised when I read the manga. I didn’t think I was going to like Yu-Gi-Oh! when it first came out. Dark Yugi challenges the wrongdoers to a Shadow Game, where the loser will face a Penalty Game usually ending with them getting their just deserts. Dark Yugi only comes out when Yugi and/or his friends have been wronged in some way, or if they are put into danger. He finally succeeds, releasing the power of the puzzle in the form of another version of himself, Dark Yugi. His one treasure is the Millennium Puzzle, an artifact from Ancient Egypt that he has been trying to solve for several years. He doesn’t have a lot of friends, and he spends most of his time playing games he gets from his family’s game store. Yugi Mutou is a small, sheepish high school boy. Yu-Gi-Oh! emphasizes the importance of friendship while also indulging in a bit of of “comeuppance theater.” It was brought over here by Viz Media as part of the debut of Shonen Jump manga magazine and was one of the anchor titles. Yu-Gi-Oh! became popular in US due to the cartoon and trading card game, but it started out as a manga. |
