Boys Over Flowers, Vol. 5: Hana Yori Dango

Even though the storyline of Hana yori dango seems typical it's a must read because of the way the story has been woven. I don't think any other shojo manga (excep Gakuen Alice) can ever match up to the greatness of Hana Yori Dango. It's the best manga series have ever read. But I really hope that someday it is released as a box set. Every volume of this series is really great.

Volume 5 of Hana Yori Dango was excellent in almost every way. The art was beautiful, the story...amazing, and the character development...wow!The one problem I have was with Viz's editing. While this was not nearly as bad as Volume 4 (...), I still kept noticing typo's, and I also had the distinct feeling that the translation wasn't literal enough.But still, buy this book! Even with it's little mistakes, it's worth buying, if only to discover Sakurako's creepy little secret!
