Buy Another (Another (Manga)) 1 by Ayatsuji, Yukito, Kiyohara, Hiro (ISBN: 9780316245913) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: The story is good and creepy - The book collects all the volumes of the series in this one large edition of about 750 pages. The story is good and creepy, the artwork is impressive also. The only negative is the questionable translation at certain points, though this isn't enough to put a buyer off. The size of the book's pages are about 1/3 larger than individually collected manga Pros - Good story - Good art - Atmospheric - Entire series in one book - Good price Cons - An odd translation here and there which leaves the reader trying to figure out what was meant Highly recommended for J-Horror fans Fans should also check out the anime that was based on this manga, though ignore the Japanese live action movie adaption. Review: 'Another' - [SPOILER FREE] Beautifully detailed throughout, I wasn't let down on a single page. Even the smallest details are captured and demand your full attention, rightfully so as well. The colour pages are especially breathtaking and Hiro Kiyohara is absolutely in a league of his own. The characters were each given a fair amount of time in this story, none felt left out or 'hollow'. Though the story is very much dark, I enjoyed that there was some light hearted moments, tiny hints of romance and even some comedy to be found. A truly memorable series, I can't think of anything that went unanswered and I feel the length of the manga was good. Of course with any title enjoyed this much it could always be longer, but considering it was originally intended to be two volumes in length I can't complain. Very interesting and thought provoking story, I found myself questioning pretty much every characters being. My only gripe with the contents is the afterword was a bit of a let down, I was really hoping for a bit more after becoming so engaged in the story. You can't have it all, though! The book itself, although it's quite large, is easy and comfortable to read (and I have quite small hands). The cover is very high quality gloss. I haven't experienced any cracking of the spine, even after letting the book rest open on a flat surface when reading. It still looks brand new! If you're considering purchasing this, at it's currently price (less than £15) it really is excellent value for money. Remember, it's FOUR volumes in one. I know I'll be reading this many times again in the future!

The Best Horror Manga Out There!
Lovely Manga Artstyle is very good and enjoyable (if you are into horror) but other than that this is a very very good manga. Shoutout to Hiro Kiyohara for the art and to Yukito Ayatsuji for the story perfect manga!

A horror, mystery manga
Another is a manga adaption of the light novel - and subsequent anime - of the same name. It's a whooping 700 pages long and the size of a standard omnibus by Kodansha or VIZ Signature with nice quality paper and art. The story itself tells us about Class 3, a class with a murderous curse. We follow the main characters and those around him as we must discover whom isn't meant to be there, how to stop these tragedies and Sakaki's relation to this town along with Mei Masaki. With detailed deaths, easy flowing dialogue and an unravelling mystery it's certainly worth the read. Whilst mine did arrive slightly damaged it was easy enough to get out most of the creases.

There was a football trading card in the middle of the book.
I haven't read the manga yet, but I thought I'd mention that the book, for some reason, came with a Match Attax football trading card (see images). Which is completely baffling to me, if anyone can shed some light on why or how this happened I'd appreciate it 'cause i'm curious. It's not a bad or good thing, just interesting. (It's probably just a packaging issue, don't let this sway you from not buying the book) As a side note, the book is quite floppy, it takes paperback to a whole other level. I don't have an issue with this, but it's worth noting.

Amazing
Every thing I wanted have had to force my self to stop reading it otherwise I'd get though it all in one go ! Art in the book is beautiful and was delivered quickly, very happy with my purchase.

Best purchase so far.
After watching the Anime I thought I might as-well get the manga. I can honestly say this was one my my best purchases so far. There are some differences between the Anime and Manga so this is a point in getting this. When I received the book it was in Perfect condition, This is a must buy for any fan of the Series.

Fantastic book.
Great book, lovely artwork. I Did not figure it out before the end either. Well worth a read. Highly recommended, especially if you like manga books.

Amazing omnibus which includes all four volumes of the manga Another. I really like how they have bonus art after each volume ends so it's split up into different sections.I watched the anime and I thought it was good and saw this omnibus at a cheap price so I decided to pick it up to add to my collection. It was well worth it and I highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking on buying it.

I have to say this was more than a page turner for me. Out of the hundreds of, if not more, one of the the best stories I have ever read. Yes the is blood and horror. Yet it's not there just to be there and gross you out. This story has a mystery behind all this. I can safely say this book caught me completely off guard. Just not expecting a comic/Manga to have such a complex story. I would recommend this book and I will read the light novels which this book was based on. Plus, the sequel "Another s/O". Another book that is a very rough book to read is " Metamorphosis " by Shindo L. Warning this is high explicit, yet if you read the story of this young girl named Saki I want you to remember this gets very dark and Emotional. Read up on first. This book broke my heart for a month. I felt so sorry for the character, yet I know this type of story does happen in real life. This book is very much a cautionary tale.

El manga es una historia de terror muy buena. Sigue a un grupo de estudiantes mientras se enfrentan a una maldición que existe dentro de su salón. Cómo van descubriendo el misterio, peleando contra la fuerza a la que se enfrentan y dando un mundo bueno al rededor de todo. Es un gran lectura. Si vienen después de ver el anime, el manga (y la novela) es mucho mejor, el arte y diseño de personajes es mucho mejor al del anime, aquí el arte es oscuro, misterioso y deprimente, mientras que en el anime todo se veía demasiado animado o bonito que parecía no encajar con la historia. Y no se hizo de manera para causar impacto como Gakkou Gurashi. Está edición completa tiene un gran tamaño y no es lo suficientemente pesado como para que sea incómodo de leer. Buena compra.

Bought it as a new edition while it was discounted by the state of how it arrived it's clear this is not a new book. Spine and cover have multiple scratches, as well as multiple signatures that feel like they might fall from the tome

I thought I was ordering the Light Novel, but then when I got it, I discovered with surprise that it was the manga in fact ! But even so, I really enjoyed the art and liked the story. Totally worth it, I'd recommand it to anybody who likes "almost horror" stories.
