Okay, I just have to vent this out...

THE MANGA IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!UTTER WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOTAL EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*gasps* UMI AND HIKARU AND FUU ARE TOTAL ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*calms down* Excuse my hardcore fangirliness here.... Okay, now that I've vented that out, I'll explain.

You see, I recently got the second volume of MKR(finally!) as a gift, and I read it....

And I died of happiness.

There is no sense of logic in my words. ♥

EDIT: I have just read the entire manga after finally finding a website online. They had scanned what I presume was the earlier printing of the translation, so everything was reversed. That part sucked, but it doesn't take away from the absolute EPIC AWESOMENESS of the manga. I have to say that the manga is definitely, definitely my preference. (though it went too fast >.<;;; I want some more!)

You think the manga's that much better than the anime? Hmm, maybe I should read it. Would always be nice to get some more Magic Knight Rayearth.

The manga is a little more straightforward and has less filler than the anime. It's definitely worth reading for a Rayearth fan. The ending of Rayearth 2 is different from the anime, so I won't say anything about that Casey-san. You'll have to read it yourself. The books I have are the collector's boxed sets and these are not flipped like the scans Itena-chan was referring to.
