Is this series any good? I found alot of volumes at my local library so i was wondering what kind of genre it is and how good it is.

DNAngel is a very good manga - I enjoyed it immensely. It's a shoujo manga, which means that character development and love tends to be the central focal point.

Basically, it's about a boy named Daisuke Niwa who gets rejected by the girl he likes on his 14th birthday. But Daisuke doesn't quite react to this in the same way most boys would - instead of just feeling the sting of defeat he goes home and ends up transforming into his alter ego, the Phantom Thief Dark - turns out the Niwa family has something in their DNA that causes the males to transform into Dark when they think about the person they love.

That's it...basically...XD; I could probably go into more detail, but no one wants to read a 12 page summary on the manga and all its characters...

Really, it's a wonderful manga with beautiful art and a very interesting story. You should give it a try!

Here's my $.02: I didn't like the love triangle in there. It's just like, whoa! It's a bit too much girl drama for me. The art is great and all, but...meh. I just didn't find it as great a story as most people. Maybe I'd just read parts of it to find out the secrets so I won't be bothered by them anymore. XD

Yep, he pretty much summed up the manga. It really is a love story and if you can't take that kind of mush then it's probably not a good read for you- BUT!!! There is a good bit of comedy involved that doesn't center focus the mixed emotions of love between Daisuke and...(don't want to say too much and give it away!), plus many extra things other than the romance plot to look forward to like Daisuke's "Hollywood" debut. LOL That chapter introduces a rather humorous sub-character... darn shame they aren't one of the main characters of the story (continues laughing because it was just that funny). Anyway, also to add to the drama is how Daisuke and Dark get along. Personally I find Daisuke's thoughts on their relationship rather interesting and the romance stuff just cute. It may be a love story, but it's more WAFF than Romeo and Juliet type stuff. Still, if you hate romance utterly or WAFF makes you barf then this one may not be a good read for you. Me I love the WAFF bring it on, bring it on! :D
