Comic books/Graphic novels/Manga Reading Challenges discussion

The month of October, we will be reading Aria Vol 1! Here you can post if you are enjoying it etc.

Remember to use the spoiler tag when talking about major spoilers!

I checked this out a while back because the premise looked good - Tsubasa is a delinquent who idolizes her seemingly perfect twin sister Arisa. When she finds out Arisa's life isn't so perfect and Arisa ends up in the hospital Tsubasa decides to pretend to be Arisa to find out what happened. The first volume pulled me right in and has several interesting hooks to jump start the series. My full review.

I recently finished this series and loved it. The mystery elements stay strong throughout and there are a lot of good twists and turns.

Note: Try to avoid looking at the book descriptions of later volumes, as they almost always spoil the earlier ones.

I'll start reading this soon!

I look forward to reading this.

Hope you both enjoy it!

I thought the first volume was really good. The mystery definitely has me wanting to know more about what's going on with those students at that school.

I have read a few chapters, will see if I can finish soon :)

Here are a few discussion questions for everyone to think about (Please remember to use spoiler tags as appropriate to your answer, even if the question didn't contain spoilers. Thanks!):

1) How do you like the plot so far? Do the mystery elements make you want to read more?

2) What do you think of Tsubasa? Is she a good point of view character?

3) Do you think a twin could pass as the other so easily, or is part of the story you have to suspend a lot of disbelief for?

4) How similar is Arisa to other manga series you've read?

5) How do you like the art? Does it enhance the stories being told?

I don't know why, but I'm struggling continuing this. Maybe I'll try again a bit later.

Hope it goes better then. I don't remember the chapter breakdown - have you gotten to the concept of "King Time" yet? I seem to recall that's when the first volume grabbed me.

Not yet. Maybe I should try till then! :)
