My first manga book! Not bad, not bad. I was told to start with this book because the series has an end (otherwise, I'd be committing to a lifetime of endless manga sequels, something that I guess turns some folks off to manga altogether). I'll go ahead and label this as slightly above young adult but not full bore adult in nature. The illustration style was actually quite good and very imaginative, and the story was unique if not overly challenging. All in all, a cool, easy introduction to manga. I'll definitely at least move on to #2 and see if the series is worth continuing.
Oh, and unlike other manga books, this one reads left to right. I thought I'd throw that in. I don't know how the whole right to left reading thing will hit me, but I'm about to find out.

I read the first three volumes of Battle Angel Alita back in high school, and I hung on to my second volume for almost 2 decades. Now, with the release of the movie (which is actually OK!), I was inspired to re-read the first volume.
This was pretty much everything I remember it being – cyber punky, gorgeously illustrated and with a headstrong female character unafraid to fight spectacularly gross and violent cyborgs in the sewer.
