Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Vol. 1 Paperback – November 6, 2007

I love the anime and the manga seems really good so far, It's a bit different from the anime but is still really good and well written, if you are a Chazz Princeton fan you'd like the manga as he is portrayed as a 2nd main character as i've heard and seems like it so far. It's Really good book, Jaden uses the more newer version of Elemental HEROs and doesn't really use the anime deck cards, they got into a story of how jaden became the way he was with a backstory that brings out lovely emotions, and changed how jaden got winged kuriboh. It came in perfect condition and pretty fast. Again it's great and the arts wonderful, as well as a fresh intake of yugioh GXI added this message because people manly on the 2nd volume, people had thought it would come with a card (as yugioh books are known for including a card in their books ) and were upset when it did not come.For everyone who keeps saying they didn't get a free yugioh card! there is no card because this book isn't supposed to come with a card, if it did like the other yugioh books that do come with one, it would have a little circle on the front cover saying card inside! like in volume 8 and etc, Yugioh manga books of pretty much all the series do no include cards in their books til volume 3 or up Like yugioh zexal didn't start including cards til volume 3, Volume 5 of GX is the start point when they start including a free card! inside, I say this as I see alot of times people are disappointed because they think there's a card in there but no card shows up.

As I said about the Yu-Gi-Oh! R manga, The GX manga is something which I can like and wish this were true with some other Anime/Manga adaptions where one would be the Alternate Story of the other, Since I only Bought the first volume of nine of GX I can't really tell of the story but the Manga seems to show the same kind of charm the GX anime had, so most likely some darkness will come around near the end I bet.P.SDue to how Old this Manga Release is, there might not be a card inside which some people will be only buying this to get the Promo Card Light and Darkness Dragon, well since of how old this book is in release terms, you might be getting a Second Run Print, which only the first Run Prints come with Cards, so.....don't complain when you just bought this and find out there is no card inside.

First of all, just to make things clear, I haven't watched theYu-Gi-Oh GX Anime, So i am not aware of there are any changes between the anime and the manga. Now that that's out of the way, LIKE, I HAVE NEVER EVER EVER IMAGINED YUGIOH MANGAS ARE THIS GOOD? BRUH, THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST MANGA I'VE EVER READ!!! Suits all ages so don't worry, parents, it's ESPECIALLY good if you have a kid that isn't into reading that much… this might interest him/her!!! Follow me on goodreads for more reviews like this!

The GX manga is great! If you like the show, you'll love the manga! It has new characters and really delves deep into the existing character's pasts. Its an awesome parallel to the GX anime. The problem is just that I ordered this online, supposedly "new," and received a book with the card pack in the back cut out. It obviously wasn't new. I didn't mind it enough to send it back asking for a refund (the manga is too good lol), but it was really irritating. If you can, find it in a book store and if you you have to order online, I suggest getting it off the viz media shop (fulfilled by Amazon) where I got a copy of Vol. 4 still in the wrapping. Again, great book, just don't get it here.

They made syrus totally different than the anime. It was awesome. Could have been a longer read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This series is very different to the yugioh GX tv anime in so many ways. But this makes this book in my opinion much better than the original GX and worth the read. Please if you get the chance give this book a read it is well worth the time I know I enjoyed it.

It was delivered quickly and in excellent condition, especially for the price.

The main protagonist in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is Jaden Yuki. He's seen as a slacker, and is in the lowest ranking dorm at Duel Academy; this dorm would be Slifer Red. Even though he's a slacker, Jaden does rather well in actual duels; however, it's not really known whether Jaden really is a good duelist, or just keeps getting lucky with the cards that he draws. His best friend, Syrus Truesdale, is also in Slifer Red; Syrus is more of a meek character in comparison to the brash Syrus. Other characters in the series are Alexis Rhodes (the main female character of the series), Chazz Princeton (a selfish and arrogant duelist), and Bastion Misawa (who is regarded as a duel genius). Jaden's main adversary is Dr. Vellian Crowler, one of the teachers at Duel Academy.This Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga seems to be written in such a way that it's expected that the reader already has some familiarity with the anime series. The duel academy only gets a scant one page explanation, and then it jumps right into a storyline. Unfortunately, the manga does not start at the same spot that the anime did. In the anime, Jaden had to battle Dr. Crowler in order to be accepted to attend the academy. Even though this battle is not seen in the manga, it is referenced at least two to three times in this manga volume. Personally, I would have preferred that the manga open with the Jaden and Dr. Crowler duel. While reading the manga, the author makes a note that he didn't want to simply make a "cine-manga" of the anime; however, I do think that this duel would have made for a stronger beginning for the manga than where the manga actually begins.Instead, what we start off with is a storyline about a teacher trainee who is dueling with students who takes cards from the opponents that he beats. This is followed by a duel between Jaden and Chazz, which ends with a surprising result. The next story has Bastion dueling with Jaden; if Bastion wins, he can get Alexis' phone number from Jaden. This is followed by a beauty pageant at the academy, which escalates into a duel between Alexis and Jaden. The final story pits Jaden and Syrus into a duel. Dr. Crowler snuck into a teacher's office and saw the midterm test report; seeing that Syrus had a zero, he says Syrus will be expelled from the school, unless he can win a duel. Dr. Crowler says that Syrus must duel with Jaden. If Syrus wins, he won't be expelled; however, if Jaden wins, he must hand over his deck to Dr. Crowler.When it comes to the art in the manga, you can definitely tell that the anime served as the basis for the character designs. However, there were some minor liberties taken with the designs, especially in regards to Alexis. Since this is a shonen fighting manga, there are plenty of "busy" panels included in this volume. However, the panels that are not part of duels are actually rather easy to follow.If you enjoy the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime series, then you will probably also enjoy the manga series. However, it should also be noted that the manga does not directly follow the anime, and also adds cards and monsters that are not part of the anime series.Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is rated "A" for All Ages.I wrote this review after checking out a copy of this manga volume through the King County Library System.

Produto de qualidade, chegou antes do previsto e em bom estado

Cool manga in good condition. + fast shipping. Buy for your much needed dose of edgy Chazz, his Light and Darkness Dragon and GUD Jaden faces. Cool duels and the artstyle is GODLY. Also includes short relatable comics from the artist (Naoyuki Kageyama). Recommend

El manga es bueno. en este primer tomo no hay gran cosa excepto ver la re-imaginación de los personajes de la academia de duelo. Es en el tomo dos donde ya se pone mejor la trama.Compré este tomo sabiendo que fue publicado desde el 2007 y creí que ya estaría viejo pero en realidad era de la sexta impresión que salio a finales del 2016 lo que significa que estaba en muy buen estado.Recomendado para fans del Yugi o cualquiera que quiera un manga shonen leve. (y entienda un poco el juego de cartas)

A very different take on the GX setting and characters but in a very good way. The story feels more like the Yugioh Duelist manga with a lighter tone that makes for a enjoyable story

Than you, "the book depository" I am very happy with the product and everything was fast and quite good. The book is awesome
