What do you people think of the manga of D. N. Angel? Is it readily available in the USA anywhere?

I read some summaries of the manga online and it sounded good, so I started watching the anime. I thought the anime was really cute but many people who'd read the manga told me that it was nothing compared to the manga. The storyline in several places changed a bit, and it seems the characters and their relationships changed some as well. Though both are good according to fans who's seen/read both, I'd like to try the manga to see what it's like.

Also, I love the artwork of this series, the drawings, especially of the eyes, and of Daisuke and Dark are so amazingly well done!

DNAngel is liscensed by Tokyopop and should be out in around April (Street date) its on their site...

Yuuko_Hajiwara · 2003-12-20, 21:09

Cool! By the way is the japanese manga finished? How many volumes is it?

Sakuba · 2003-12-21, 16:00

the ending wasnt as satisfying as id hoped it to be. The series was great altogether tho.

Volumes 1-9 of the manga are out, as far as I know. They're really great, I love them. But the story is not done. I heard it's going to be 10 volumes, which makes sense. It seemed like it was coming to a close in volume 9. Well, maybe not. But, if it is only going to be ten volumes, it's probably already been serialised in Asuka in Japan. Just need to wait for the final tankoubon.

Anyhow, the manga isn't even comparable to the anime. I was so excited when I heard there was going to be an anime, being a fan of the manga. The anime just made me mad, it was so different. It was terrible! Ah! It upsets me.

The first issue is released in April 2004, with new issues being released every 2 months. Ten issues will take about 1 year and 8 months to release fully, the last one being released around December 2005 / January 2006. I hate the slow release schedule of English graphic novels...

Probably there were only 8 volumes in Japan too when they put up the DNAngel page a few months back. They probably don't update the page for every series immediatly when new volumes are written for a series.

Sorry to bump this old thread. But has anyone read DNAngel up to volume 9-10? I just have one question, does umm, Dark actually like Risa now? Because I would really not want that to happen. Since Satoshi seems to like her, and that is already pissing me off, now Dark too?!... Doesn't Dark like Riku...? (I hate Risa, because she's so feminin and seem to think the world revolves around her, I like Riku alot better).

If anyone know the answer, or have a comment to make on this, please reply, I'm getting quiet frustrated x__x. Thanks.

Village Idiot · 2004-04-13, 02:03

I just got the DNAngel vol 1 by Tokyopop, and the bad thing is that they took out all the honorifics and made everyone call each other by their first name.

This is going to change some major plot events down the road...I wonder what Tokyopop was thinking? Did they actually read the volumes or did they just read volume one and translated it without reading volume 2+ and get a better grip on the story?

I already read DNAngel up to Volume 10 liao..., No I Think Dark Doesn't like Risa( i think a little...) at nearly the End of Volume 10 Dark Hug Risa and Tell her not to chase after him already.... Because Dark can't Live with her... I mean.... Dark can't live inside Daisuke after Daisuke has Riku.... I think thats all i can say....

I Like Riku alot too....^_^

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Why can't they just learn to keep them in the story and instead include an explanation for those who might not know about honorifics!?

Argh, I hate it when companies do that.

Hellychan · 2004-04-13, 10:45

Whaaa!!! I'm so happy!

I've just discovered that D.N.Angel has been released in French (Edition Glénat) they've released 2 volumes so far, yeah! I'm gonna get them for sure!

I hope they leave all the honorifics in the translation

BME · 2004-04-16, 12:10

SirCanealot · 2004-04-17, 10:39

I was tempted to buy DN Angel Vol1 the other day, but I just can't support a release like that. Name changes and no honorifics in a seires like that = BAAAAD

Ha Ha I'm sorry for that... so I will not be talking about it again...

I think Satoshi and Risa will be Great nice couple too... But first thing...I think Krad with not accept it and try to break them up...that is wat i think....

I Like Riku to be with Daisuke but not Dark....

Hellychan · 2004-04-21, 12:28

Wee!!!

The French edition haven't taken out the honorifics! ( I love you Glénat Edition! Mwha!

)

Now /me waits impatiently for volume 3! Believe me, I love the anime, but the manga is much more better!
