Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist, Vol. 1

Little to no wear on cover, pages intact, not sticky or dirty. Almost like new, except for a couple of easily removable library stickers. Very happy with it!

Condition was better then expected looked practically Brand new! So happy!

Despite what many people think, Yu-Gi-Oh isn't just an annoying story for eight year olds, and nothing showcases this better than the original manga. In the actual books, the characters are deeper, the scenes are more emotional, and the children's card games usually don't last more than four chapters (sorry, I just had to reference LK ^^). It's also not as preachy about friendship, and the "Heart of the Cards" very rarely comes up. What's more, the books have more "logic" in them, if you could call it that - perhaps a better term would be "deep thinking"; this makes them even more fun to read. In short, the manga is much better than the anime - it's as simple as that.However, I should warn you; there is quite a bit of blood in the series, hence the *teen* rating. Some scenes are even to the point at which they could be described as gruesome. For example, in the anime series, Bakura simply reaches for Pegasus' Millennium Eye before the screen fades to black, and the latter survives. However, in the manga, Bakura is shown to have viciously ripped the item out of Pegasus' socket, killing him and causing blood to flow quite graphically over his face. Despite this, nothing quite compares to the scene in which Marik's Yami first takes over in Duelist 19. Honestly, I've watched shows such as Higurashi and Elfen Lied, and nothing has been more horrifying to me than reading that. Remember when he "sent his father to the Shadow Realm"? or perhaps, if you watched the original Japanese, when he "stabbed" his father? Well, in the books, he quite literally skins his father alive and lays his bloody veneer on Rishid's back.So, parents, I urge you not to let your child read this if they are under 15. However, if they're of appropriate age and looking for a good story, then by all means get this for them - they won't be disappointed!

Love mostly. Been loving Yugioh since I first watched them on tv. Became a fan, collecting their cards. My idol is Yugi/Atem.

I purchased this item for my niece, and she really loves Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist, Vol. 1. I surprised her with this early birthday gift. She just about jumped out of her skin! Thanks again AMAZON!

It was well a written book. Good illustrations. Nothing beats the originals!I'm not sure if i will read the second. But a nice book.

Thought the book was awsome! I will share it with my friends at school because I know they will enjoy it too!

why would you start from the back?! i would understand if it was called My Backwards Book or something like that. sorry author but why would you start from the back?

This is one of the best mangas I've ever read I am a big fan of the show so I loved it even more will definitely be buying the rest in the series

A great start to a great manga series. My only wish is that the condition of the volume was better but it’s hard to come by older manga series nowadays so I can’t complain too much. Nevertheless, I’m happy with my purchase.

This book is incredible! Yu-Gi-Oh is one of my favourite shonen jump manga books. It arrived on time and that was great.

I'm a little biased towards Yu-Gi-Oh as a long term fan but this is a really solid version, I love the manga. The art is really satisfying and it has some gorgeous full page pieces. It also loads beautifully on my mobile which is cool as it means I can read my manga without worrying about bent spines - which is awesome when I know that I'll be reading it so many times.The story is solid but has more mature content than the english/American version in the anime. This proves to be more intense and gives a few gems of jokes. The character of Tea is so much easier to like in this, as personally I didn't like her in the anime because of her cheesy nature. Mai is a fabulous character here.The only thing that annoys me a bit is that it finished mid duel, but hey - It made me want to buy the next anyway so what does it matter.

I wish I was in duelest kingdom I would probably win it whith my strongest card and my trionation attack (all ways works )
