Mars

[ThisIsDream]

Well I was searching about Mars, but I couldnt find any threads so I made one.
Anyway, I have watched the Taiwan Live tv Mars, so I am wondering is this Drama Mars same as Manga Mars? I mean the story, conflict, characters etc........ The Tv series were really good, I am not sure if the manga can satisfied me or not
Would love any suggestions about the manga Mars ^^.

I've never seen the Taiwan Live Action of Mars, but the manga is damn good. One of the best written shoujos in my opinion.

Don't remember too much of it (came out like, when, 3 years ago? Haven't touched it since), but it seems to be a good shoujo because I know I read through that series quickly.

The manga is 15 volumes and a great romance/drama series. The manga is wonderful, realistic and great.

[ThisIsDream]

Well the Tv series was really good imo. I am not sure if is follow the manga exactly or not. Without reading the manga I still love it very much.

I really want to read the manga, I watched the Live Action version and it was so good. I was getting into the story loads haha.

[Xellos-_^]

i am reading the manga right now and considering how long the manga has been out why hasn't there been a anime of this yet?

If they do it right, Mars could rank in the 10 anime series ever.

Well if someone liked the series and haven't read the manga when they do read it they are going to be "Holy cow, This is GREAT!!!excellent piece of work" It is one of the best stories that i have ever read. The characters , the plot, the drama EVERYTHING! I wish I could watch it as an anime too. It's shame that they haven't adapted sth as great as MARs into an anime yet.

Mars.... Well, if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all, right? I'll just say that it's one of the most ridiculously overwrought and excessively melodramatic series I've ever read and leave it at that.

[Angelic]

It was one of my first Mangas, and I am sooo thankful that it was.
MARS has the perfect balance between romance and problems, to provide a realistic tour of what love and lost is all about.

[Amalia]

Exactly!I totally agree with you angelicxx

If it wasn't for MARS I wouldn't know what manga was.Me reading that got me into manga.

Mars is one of the best, most epic romance manga.

Mars is about Kira, a shy girl with a secret past who is dating Rei, a rebellious motorcycle rider with a dark past himself. The two have a deep relationship and are committed. Their relationship gets more serious and they begin having sex and move in together. There are dark secrets in their pasts involving rape, suicide and much more. Kira and Rei have a serious relationship, and throughout their relationship learn about their pasts.



SUMMARY:

Kira is an extremely introverted artist and Rei is a popular playboy with a frightening violent side. Touched by a gentle picture Kira drew, Rei makes a promise to protect her. Soon a friendship and romance develop and together they begin to confront the many demons of their pasts that are still haunting them, trying to build a peaceful future for themselves.

I'm surprised there is a thread for this classic romance shoujo manga. Anyways, I picked this up recently and finished the first two volumes. The romance hasn't developed well that much but it seems like Kira is madly in love with Rei. I've been informed that the second half of this manga(volume 5+) is phenomenal in comparison to the weak first arc so I can't wait to read the rest of Mars.

Also, this had a live action but no anime? That's too bad but I hope this can get anime adaptation [as recently, Kiseijuu got a anime by Madhouse too]. ^^

[aohige]

Uhhh

I can't be the only one who expected the thread to be about the much-more classic masterpiece, "Mars" by Yokoyama.

[Nuvi]

Nah, I guess you're the only one who expected that manga.
