A great storyline!!!
Magical pokemon Journey (Aka Pipipi Adventure) is the best Poke-comic ever!!!

Hazel, a ditzy-lovesick kinda gal, is in love with the handsome skilled Pokemon Trainer Almond... He would actually BE skilled if Hazel would let him catch any Pokemon.
So basically Almond hates Hazel for not letting him catch any Poke's.
But then Grandpa, an old man, tells Hazel that if she catches Pokemon for him he'll prepare a Love Potion for Almond.
So Hazel tries to catch Pokemon (Although she didn't catch many) to win the Love Potion and Almond's heart! But many other characters soon appear making Hazel's quest easier/harder than ever! HILARIOUS COMIC!!!!!!!! READ IT EVERYONE!!

More Love Rivals! More Fun!!
In this volume, Almond is put through a test from Squirtle's sisters, so he can keep being friends with him. At the end, Almond has to be hospitalized, which leads us to the next story. While he's in the hospital, Hazel goes to buy flowers for him from her friend's brother's flower shop. He gets a crush on Hazel, which may lead to a lot of trouble later! And Yumi Tsukirino-sensei has a really cute picture of Almond with his hair down at the end. ^_^ Then, since Pistachio's Bulbasaur is really jealous about his crush on Hazel, she tries to get a love potion from Grandpa. And then, a Pidgeot is trying too hard to impress his crush. When will he learn what she really wants? Um... I can't really remember the other two stories... so I'll just go onto the bonus stories. ^^,

In one of them, the characters are all playing hide-and-seek, but Peanut, Pikachu, and Clefairy get lost! How will they get out, and how will they escape the monster that is going to eat them?! In the other bonus story, the Pokemon get told a scary ghost story, and relive it, sort of.

As for this volume's bonus bonuses, there's a Pokemon file, a small story with Walnut, and two very short anime crossover-thingies. One has that adorable Tracey in it. ^_^ There's also an itsy-bitsy section with Yumi Tsukirino-sensei herself in it. :)

This is a great volume in a great manga. I'm sure anyone who loves Pokemon, cute things, and lots of love triangles will love this. ^____^ ... Read more

Book Description

Initially developed in Japan by Nintendo as a computer game, Pokémon swept the globe in the late 1990s. Based on a narrative in which a group of children capture, train, and do battle with over a hundred imaginary creatures, Pokémon quickly diversified into an array of popular products including comic books, a TV show, movies, trading cards, stickers, toys, and clothing. Pokémon eventually became the top grossing children's product of all time. Yet the phenomenon fizzled as quickly as it had ignited. By 2002, the Pokémon craze was mostly over. Pikachu’s Global Adventure describes the spectacular, complex, and unpredictable rise and fall of Pokémon in countries around the world.

In analyzing the popularity of Pokémon, this innovative volume addresses core debates about the globalization of popular culture and about children’s consumption of mass-produced culture. Topics explored include the origins of Pokémon in Japan’s valorization of cuteness and traditions of insect collecting and anime; the efforts of Japanese producers and American marketers to localize it for foreign markets by muting its sex, violence, moral ambiguity, and general feeling of Japaneseness; debates about children’s vulnerability versus agency as consumers; and the contentious question of Pokémon’s educational value and place in school. The contributors include teachers as well as scholars from the fields of anthropology, media studies, sociology, and education. Tracking the reception of Pokémon in Japan, the United States, Great Britain, France, and Israel, they emphasize its significance as the first Japanese cultural product to enjoy substantial worldwide success and challenge western dominance in the global production and circulation of cultural goods.

Pokemon Sticker Series 1 (Sticker & Poster).
My kids have all 4 of this series of books, the first has a black and white poster to put all the colored sticker on.Yet when we went through them to check out the stickers, 3 of the 4 books had the same sets ofstickers(54 in each book).So how DO you collect all 150? A bit of adisappointment.

Short but fun
The reason why I loved the book is because of Charmander. I liked the pictures in the book and you get it at a really cheap price. It's all in black and white except the stickers. I know this book is intended forchildren, but I couldn't resist.

Too short . . . but sweet!
The only reason this book doesn't get a five-star rating is because it was too short! I finished it in a snap! Also, it has a fanart (is that 2 words?) section that I dislike.

The artwork is really good. The storyline is one that, to me, is as original and cool as the anime's. Hazel is someone I can relate to, partly because she can't draw and partly because of the way she gets happy.

I'm not going to tell you what happens in this story, other than Hazel's two first Pokemon friends are met, and so are the 'bad' guys. Is it just me, or is that Arbok a sort of bizarre combination between Jessie and James from the anime? Although neither of them appear in this manga (none of Team Rocket do), I just found that weird . . . .

Overall, I'd say this is a really cool introduction to Hazel's adventures in the Poke-world (that's what they call the place, on page two!). In fact, Magical Pokemon Journey is the best Pokemon manga (for me anyhow) and is definitely SO much better than that anime-copycat perverted thing that Toshihiro Ono made.

Pi Pikachu!
This book is so cute! The pictures are very good but the only thing is, the pictures are black and white and shades of gray.(Exept the cover and the first page)It's a story about a girl named Hazel who has a crush on a trainer named Almond (What a weird name!)Then she trys to trick Almond into eating a cake with a love potion inside.(Which explodes)Then she meets pikachu and clefairy. You will have to find out what happens next by reading the book. P.S. This is a comic book not a chapter book.

Cutesy but Clever
This simple and fairly short manga was made in Japan by a woman named Yumi Tsukirino. She wrote it to cater to a young female audience (as opposed to the original manga which was based on pleasing a young male audience.) Therefore the drawings are very shoujo (girl oriented) with large eyes, big heads, and cute hair, and the plot is very "feminine" as well (a girl falls in love with a trainer.) Though it seems like it would be a little stupid and the basic idea is rather chauvanistic it remains a rather adorable little comic that you may want to buy for a daughter or young niece. ...

Sticker book?
I purchased this book for my children who LOVE Pokemon. I was disappointed to discover this "sticker" book is actually more like an activity/coloring book with only a few stickers (16).They are for putting on the "free" poster which has 32 spots for stickers.The rest of this stickers come with another book. I have to purchase a whole other book just to fill the poster.My kids are frustrated that the poster is incomplete and I am frustrated that I spent more money than it was worth.Now I have to buy the other book or throw away the poster my kids worked on.

Excellent introduction to the world of Pokemon
I bought this book for my 7 years old son with his first Pokemon deck, and started reading it during my flight from Sydney to Cairo. It was very interesting to the extent that I finished it all in one shot. It is truly one of the most wonderfully illustrated book I have ever seen. It helped me a lot to understand the Pokemon phenomenon and communicate with my son. It helped him also to share the Pokemon fun with his peers. The CD, which comes with the book, is excellent for both learning as well as practicing the game, and deserves the price itself. ... Read more

Not hard-core Pokemon material, but still neat
This is a very cute book. I'd definately recommend it tolittle kids, but I wouldn't recommend it to kids who want to bePokemon Masters. Basically the plot of the book is this: Charmander goes into an old house and sees something that scares it. It runs over to the house of Pikachu, Slowpoke, and Bellsprout...This book gives no info on the Pokemon whatsoever, but it's still cute.

Instant hit (for our kid at least)
Our 3-year old saw this book for a a minute in a store, and yet somehow memorized most of it. It has been one of his all-time favorites every since we bought it. Cleary not for older kids, but great if you enjoy the Pokemon characters and have a kid that isn't quite old enough for the more 'mature' aspects of this phenomena.

Totally baby book
I got this book thinking that it would be some cool poke'mon book but,it turned out to be a chubby baby book.It's about Charmander seeing a ghost,and pikachu,Slowpoke,and Bellsprout are trying to help find out what the ghost really was.It was REALLY boring.but,it's good for toddlers.

Cute Board Book strictly for tots.
This is a cute board book that is appropriate for the toddler set. If your child is at all familiar with the characters of the Pokemon video series, he or she may be disappointed: "Charmander sees a ghost" does not follow the story line of the Pokemon series at all, rather, it tells a VERY simple story involving Charmander and some other Pokemon. Possibly a perfect book for a little sibling of a Pokemon crazed kid! ... Read more
