I have read many, many mangas over the years. So many, that I tend to write off manga at a glance, not caring enough to actually look through the whole thing to decide if I should read it or not. I'm glad I gave this one that extra shot. This is not your average shoujo manga. For one thing, the very nature of the story and the motivations behind the character's choices were enough to tug at my heartstrings. It had enough twists and turns to keep me interested, while simultaneously having enough thrills and suspense to get me hooked. I reccomend any and every shoujo fan to try it at least once. I'm sure you won't regret it.

Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.i actually took the lazy way out and saw the anime even though people said the manga was better.If what they say is true you need to read the manga AND the anime. I can easily say that was the best anime i have ever seen and it had my attention through out the 52 episodes. It actually had me crying (i wont say more because it'll ruin it) I think EVERYBODY should at LEAST see the anime.

This series is one of my favorites. I recomend anyone to give it a chance, both old and young. At first I thought it was kind of childish but then as you get more into the story, you realize it's really not. This author has a wonderful imagination and this series becomes somewhat of a fairy tale. No other story like it ^_^

I have read all the books. Arina Tanemura is one of the best writers ever. You should read it if you like depressing, yet happy stories. The anime cannot compare. As i have watched all the anime episodes, I don not like it as I am a big supporter of the book.

full moon is one of those manga when your done reading you instantly have to go and buy the next volume. it may be sad but its also cute at the same time. the art is fantastic too. i myself can not wait until the 7th book comes out. i sure hope takuto and mitsuki get together. oh! and i hope things work out with izumi and meroko too.

I bought the first manga when I was searching for something new. I looked through everything until I crossed my path with this. I flipped through the pages and thought not only was the artwork beautiful but it also showed emotion. So thats when I decided to buy it. When I got home I immeateally started reading it. I liked the story. The story made me laugh, it made me cry, and at times it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. This manga is truely a classic. This manga is also one of the best manga storys I've read in a while. Please, do yourself a favor and buy it. ~Jiyu Motou

Full Moon is simultaneously very sad and incredibly cute and sweet! A beautful roamce story that will have you laughing at one page and crying at the next, but all throughout you're in love with every aspect of the story! Quite possibly my favorite Shojo manga I've ever read (or at the very least tied with Fruits Basket and Fushigi Yugi)! Not to mention the amazing art!! An all-around 5-star manga!

At first, this seems like a very juvenille series. The whole 'i want to sing' storyline has been done before, and at first you'd wonder if this series was worth it. well, take my advice and buy this, because it's a rare beauty. first of all, the artwork is SUPERB. there is depth in the backgrounds and in the character's faces. if you're sick and tired of manga that looks more like a coloring book than a $10 comic, you'll drool over this. there is wonderful attention to detail here and Arina Tanemura draws with a very recognizable and likeable style. tones are used very well. but don't think that the artwork is the only desirable thing in this series. no matter what you may think, this story is incredibly complex. at the beginning, you may feel (as i did) that the plotline is predictable, but just when you feel that things will turn out stale, you'll be thrown for a loop. this series has so many plot twists, but not enough to become confusing, and it keeps you hungry for more. not to mention the incredible backstory this series provides on almost all of its characters. i think that Full Moon has got one of the most developed cast of characters, and most of them are likable. i strongly urge you to take up this series. it is always a delicious read.
