Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Imagine a whimsical combination of American Idol, Cinderella and Showtime's Dead Like Me transposed to Japan and aimed at children, and you may have a sense of what this manga is like. It begins ominously: 12-year-old Mitsuki Koyama, an orphan living with her repressive grandmother, must have an operation to remove her vocal cords, due to a malignant growth. Yet Mitsuki refuses, because her dream is to become a professional singer. Mitsuki is even visited by two death spirits, Takuto and Meroko, who inform her she has only a year to live. But the two spirits, once human themselves, are hardly frightening (Meroko even wears bunny ears to amuse children) and Takuto decides to help Mitsuki realize her goal. He transforms her into a healthy 16-year-old, who takes the name "Full Moon" and begins her rapid rise to pop music stardom. A romantic tangle between the three and Eichi, Mitsuki's long-lost boyfriend, also ensues. Tanemura draws cute kids in conventional big-eyed manga style, though occasionally she creates romantic images of striking beauty, and her manic layouts drive the story forward. There is little to interest adults here, but girl tweens should identify with Mitsuki's ambitions and romantic dilemmas. (July)

Love it!!!
I bought a used version of this book for $8.00. It arrived in a week and I’m so happy with how the book looks. There is little to no damage done to the spine as well as the back and front cover. It’s hard to believe that it was used!!! I have yet to read it but based on the description it’ll be a poignant story. I’ve heard good things about it and the art is just mwah.

This manga is so fun, and the anime is just as good. I really like the story of a young girl with cancer given a second chance to audition for a singing competition. And Arina Tanemura's art style is so gorgeous.

fast shipping and the book came in good condition. Sailor moon and inuyasha tv series their opening and ending songs are eng sub. Viz media could try to Eng. dub full moon and try again. This story is great and I was disappointed when viz media stopped releasing the tv series. They did such a good job with sailor moon sailor stars with the three lights singing and sailor venus singing Route venus song.

Watched the anime through a few times and decided to check out the books. They're different btw, and not in the way books and TV usually are, just to warn people.
Judging from this, I am hooked. Want the rest. Lovely art, great story. A lot happens per volume.
