Book Reviews of Miracle Girls #1

Book Review: A lovely series, it's a shame the translation got butchered
Summary: 5 Stars

When I first heard of this series, I wasn't sure that I'd like it. But when I managed to get ahold of a few fansubs, I fell in love with it. It's not a crime fighting or Clow capturing series. It's a teen love story with a paranormal twist. Very good.

If the names "Mikage" and "Tomomi" don't ring a bell, it's because Mixx/Tokyopop publishing thinks that as an American, you're too stupid to handle foreign names and concepts. Mikage turned into "Mika", and Tomomi turned into "Toni". Because of this, I recomend buying the Japanese original, and hunting around online for a translation. It beats buying a poorly printed and edited translation. Did I mention that aside from reversing the art, they hype up the contrast, and destroy the fine toutches and subtleties of the original art as well? Don't buy the Mixx. It doesn't supply the story. And it doesn't supply the art. What does it supply then? [money] to the translation butchers, that's what.
