My friend and/or his sister ::cough Ashley cough:: told me about this manga, and I thought it looked really good. First off, I really like penguins. They're just awesome. Second, this looked really funny, which is probably my style if any. Anybody read it? I'm considering buying maybe the first book, and seeing if it's any good.

yeah, I read the first two volumes and bought the third one. It's a really fun romp in manga-dom. but at first glance you could tell the art style is a bit outdated. It's funny but if you really do love penguins :cough: spencer :cough: you'll change your view on penguins forever. the first volume showed just one, but huge fan service (frontal nudity), just for some "blush" effect. and of course who could forget the religiously ambigous "angel monk" (a buddist monk that has angel's wings and halo) even the main character makes fun of the angel monk!!! overall a funny (thats the third one) series.

I agree with Supa Dupa, and have to add, I really like this manga. It is fanservicey at the beginning, but by the third volume it's just a cute and funny story. Especially Gin's friendship with a penguin named Mike. That is hilarious. Viz rated it T+ for older teens, and I would guess that has to do with some violence, like most shonens, and also the occasional frontal nudity.

Hmm, I was wondering about this title the other day. I carried it around with me a in the store for a while, then put it back in favor of Tokyo Mew Mew vol. 2. Maybe I'll check it out eventually.
