Edgeworth my beloved

It was mostly cases that were already in the books, but there were a few new scenes as well. Fun but also stupid lol

OK, so I ripped open the package and devoured this in two hours when I got home from work tonight. I'm a nerd. Sue me. Sue my pants right off.
This volume of the Phoenix Wright manga centers around Miles Edgeworth, the sexy, sexy prosecutor who is arguably the world's first gay video game hero. (Some argue that he is just dainty.) He is Phoenix Wright's uptight rival/friend/gay love interest. Tension and jokes abound.
To be honest, some of these comics didn't make much sense at all. Maybe it's just a weird translation. But that's not to say they didn't make me laugh.
It's the little things that cracked me up. Edgeworth buys a magazine called "Prosecutor's Friend" that includes a pull-out poster of the Judge. Phoenix and Maya argue about whether the Pink Princess is "sexy." Franziska goes whip shopping. It has its heartwrenching moments, too. Edgeworth goes to criminal lengths to keep sweet little Pearl from seeing a movie with a sad ending. Phoenix tries to convince Edgeworth that he is not alone in the world.
I really wouldn't recommend this to people who haven't played the games. They just would not understand it at all: you need to know going into it that Edgeworth is uptight and Phoenix is a slob and Gumshoe can't do anything right and Maya loves to eat and Franziska is a bitch. This book made even less sense than the first volume, and most of the humor comes from having fun with the foibles of characters that have been established in 3 games (Apollo Justice isn't mentioned here). It would be just like when I tried to jump into volume 6 of Fruits Basket: I had no idea what was happening. But Ace Attorney fans who have a soft spot for Edgey (hey, ladies!) will not be able to help but dig this.

I liked the humor that abounds here but I couldn't get into it. However, a review from 2009 on Amazon noted that, " really wouldn't recommend this to people who haven't played the games.

I've never played the games, so I'm just going by what I read in terms of learning about the characters and their quirks. If you're a gamer and fan, definitely pick it up if you haven't already. Otherwise, you can skip it.

This volume of the Phoenix Wright manga spotlights Miles Edgeworth, the charismatic prosecutor known for his sharp wit and unwavering focus. While some fans interpret his personality as flamboyant, his rivalry with defense attorney Phoenix Wright is a highlight of the series. This collection features humorous skits that center on Edgeworth's quirks, like his purchase of a "Prosecutor's Friend" magazine or his disdain for anything considered "cute." It also delivers heartwarming moments, like Edgeworth shielding a young girl from a sad movie or Phoenix offering words of encouragement. Although some storylines might be affected by translation, the humor shines through, making this a delightful read for fans of the series.

I think I liked this one better than the first volume (probably because of Edgeworth). Most of the stories were pretty funny, but some were just weird and also had a weird art style. Cute read and nice collector’s item for fans!

aaaaaah, i just love the fresh smell of queerbait in the morning…….. refreshing. why are you as a man thinking “whenever i’m tired i’m reminded of you” while staring up at the sky, the stars behind you forming the shape of your rival and the man who saved you. beautiful. can we pretend that airp—

An amusing and quick read. Very worth reading if you enjoy the series. If you don't, maybe find something else to read.

I liked it better than the other, but it still sexualized the young girls more than I would have liked. Always love Edgeworth though, and there were a few good, serious stories.

I'm laughing so hard

I legitimately cannot stop laughing at 90% of these comics, they're so absolutely ridiculous and I am considering them ALL Canon.

A Phoenix Wright book? Miles Edgeworth files? My inner Ace Attorney nerd MADE me buy this.
However, when I went home and read this, it wasn't as great as I expected it to be.
You see, it's a collection of different artists drawing a little comic and then putting it all together in a book.
So, the art varied a lot and there wasn't a real story.
I also felt that my favorite characters in the game weren't portrayed the way they were supposed to be.
At certain parts, I thought the translations were a bit awkward as well.
Though I must admit, certain bits were really funny and some of the art was really good.
But I think I'll stick to the games.

Since it's Edgeworth, this one trends more toward angsty than it's predecessor, the Phoenix Wright volume--but not entirely. I reread this mainly for the funnier stories, though I can't pick a favorite, because then I would have to choose between the group's crazed determination to make curry and Edgeworth's deadpan reaction to Franziska whipping open a door. How could I choose between those?

Not as good as the other Ace Attorney books as this one doesn't follow any cases, Its more of a comic strip book but still a must buy for any hardcore fan.
