Product Description
Popular Rei and shy Kira are worlds apart, until one fateful day brings them together. Rei stumbles upon Kira in the harassing hands of her sleazy art teacher and saves the quiet girl from his clutches. And when the jock plants a kiss on a statue of Mars in the studio, Kira finds herself drawn in and even summons up the nerve to ask him to model for her but problems already lurk on the horizon. Vicious upperclassman Harumi has had her sights set on Rei for a long time, and is not about to let go now. One of the most popular teen girl manga series in Japan, Mars is a drama that will meet the demand of the growing female comic-reading market. |

Fantastic manga by M (Gnawing away at your reality)  5 Stars
September 10, 2009
Like with other mangas, I buy just the first one of a friend recommends it to me, or I read her manga. So I read her Mars vol 1, and was hooked. Since then I have bought the entire set for myself. The story of Rei and Kira is fascinating and exciting, along with some rather dramatic moments. Wonderful manga!

Amazing Manga! by Y_E_A_H (Somewhere pretty boooring) 5 Stars
November 05, 2008
This is one of the best manga's I've ever read. It's not the typical shojo and thats what makes it so unique and amazing. The character's are so complex and through each volume you get to know more and more about Rei and Kira. It's story line is the best I've read so far and I think that if it was just a book it would still be just as amazing.
So long story short: If your looking for a manga that will keep you guessing and has gorgeous artwork then read this!

Dramatic, exciting, and somewhat addicting! by A. Cosenzo (Wilmington, DE United States) 5 Stars
September 25, 2008
This manga is full of shoujo manga cliches. The main character is a shy, timid girl. Somehow, she ends up in a relationship with the school playboy. Despite his irresponsible behavior with girls in the past, maybe he has a heart of gold?
He also has a tragic past, which goes without saying. This manga really has it all - evil twins, dark pasts, rivals for affection, love triangles, and so on.
However, this manga is totally addicting and highly readable. You will want to get the new volume as soon as possible just to find out what happens! It's one of the best "teen romance" manga I've ever read. When you start this, make sure you have access to the later volumes, because you will probably want to read through them all as soon as possible!
One more thing - be warned, despite the cliche fluffy start, this manga also touches on surprisingly dark themes.
If you like other teen romance manga series, this one is a must read.

Mars...a great manga by A. Zastrow (Wisconsin) 5 Stars
February 11, 2008
I am an avid manga collector and had been wanting to check out Mars for a long time since I saw a write up on it in Newtype magazine. It did not disappoint. The artwork is lovely and the storyline isn't skimpy or cheesy, it is a manga with substance and relatable charaters, I am 20 and love this manga. I currently own volumes 1-6 and am looking forward to number 7! :)

I was swept away on this series by Safariangel (From nowhere) 5 Stars
November 17, 2007
I thought this is a great romantic seires. Kira and Rei a weird couple yes. Shy and sweet quiet artist girl to Dangerous bad boy that does what he wants. But I loved how the started the first volume. It already showed so things that will come ahead to this couple. Some people look for the art in manga but it wasn't like that for me. I liked the art and this a old manga but has been proveing to this girl that many has loved this series for the beauty of it's story and art. For romance I recommend this book. They already get this couple in some very sweet moments :). I get lost in this series every time I read it. To know more about the series I so recommend buying the fullength series which is 15 books. I love reading them over and over. I hope you find yourself swept away as I was when I read the first book then I couldn't stop reading after that I had to the next one then the next one. You get so later yo.
