Crayon Shinchan 1 Paperback – February 27, 2008

I love the anime. I love the manga just as much. Shin-chan is so adorable and a pain in the butt all on the same page. I wish they had translated the whole series.

this is a great manga book very funny i really enjoy this book the only think i didn't like was the referances to Jessica Alba she's not hat hot. so i was put off by that they use it more then once in the book. other then that it's ten times better then the DVD's but still not as good as the orignal Japanese verison. if you like shin chan you'll love the book.what are you waiting for go buy it!!

I've really gotten hooked on this show. And now I start on the Manga which is really good too. Although one thing is that the manga is set sometime before the anime because there is no little sister and no dog. Sadly this means no a##dancing either. But still a good read.Most of volume one is about Shin and his mother. Both of whom are drawn differently! In Mitz cas it's a good thing not so much in Shin's case.

It was very sad that Mr. Usui who was reported missing in a mountain on Sep 11, 2009 was found dead.

I love Shin Chan the anime, and the manga is no different (aside from a slight difference in the way Mitzi is drawn). This is my first Shin Chan manga, I skimmed through the comicsone version a while back(the company previous to this one that translated Shin, in a non Shin Chan manner), but I didn't like it too much since they censored some of the original content. I never like when the original is tampered with. But this version, the CMX version (which is the manga division of DC comics) is completely uncensored. And not to worry, this won't change your perception of the characters at all, I had a slight fear of that when I read the explicit content sticker on the front. But it flows completely natural to what you would expect, and to what you have already seen in the anime, with a couple more scenes with Shins pants down, LOL. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for a couple reasons.1. It only has 119 pages, which I can forgive just because it's Shin Chan.& 2. You don't get the version that is shown in the picture here on Amazon that has the Japanese characters on the cover. You get the English covered one instead with a big red Parental Advisory sticker on the front.All in All, if your a fan of the Shin Chan animation and read manga, I wouldn't even think twice, just buy it already ;-)
