SynopsisThe Continent of Song is in chaos. The sinister secret society known as Demon Card is using the power of Dark Bring to destroy everything in their path. The only things capable of stopping Dark Bring are the Rave stones. Unfortunately, the Rave Stones were scattered around the globe in an explosion 50 years ago, so now they must be collected by the Rave Master in order to stop Dark Bring once and for all. This new task has been given to Haru Glory; a sixteen-year-old boy from Garage Island. The World's fate now rests on the new, young Rave Master. (Source: Tokyopop) |

Made by the same author, and both mangas have the character Plue in it.
same author and i think the story seems better so far.

In terms of characters, both the main guy character has an anti-self that they have to fight, and a supporting main girl character has a surprising past. The ending fight and twist is quite similar, except 666Satan probably have a sadder ending (relatively, but it depends on how you read it). In both manga, the characters (no matter who you are) gets stronger... and converts the evils. In addition, they all hinted some sort of romance and comedy.
Oh. They both have strange pets. haha.
A bit of a warning though, rave has an art style that resembles One Piece-ish. If you can overcome the art, you will enjoy it as much as 666Satan.

Feb 8, 2008146 of ? chapters read 13 of 15 people found this review helpful Story: At first I didn't think the story was originial. It's mainly about a guy who is destined to save the world, and he's given a sword and travels around in search of something (in this case Rave stones) in order to save the world. But when I began to read Groov Master Rave aka Rave Master, it captivated me. The story may not be original but there's a spice to the series that makes me love it. But what Haru (main character) does on his journey (the friends and enemies he meets, the obstacles ...he faces, the story twists) are all original and are fantastic.
Art: I love how the art is unique. (If you ever read Fairy Tale (Which is made by the same person) the art is exactly like that. But the art had resemblences of other fantastic series such as Shaman King, YYH (to an extent), One Piece, and Naruto. I am not picky on art, but the art is really cool.
Character: Haru Glory is a very honest person. He is like normal protagonists (Honest, loyal, strong, has good morals, determined, etc.). I felt an instant attraction toward his good nature, but I felt the character could be developed more. I wish he could reveal a "dark side", but that is probably wishfull thinking. And of course no benevolent hero can live on without the annoying, worthess love (Elllie in this case), and the super cool, strong, player, attractive side kick (Musica in this case too). I felt Ellie had a good background and mystery to her, but I feel she is not strong enough. She enjoyes to gamble (like most annoying female characters do), but I feel she is too dependent on the others. Musica is just awesome, I enjoyed Musica a lot because he grew as a character, as a figter, and ultimatly as a person as a whole. But there are of couse an annoying mascot (Plue). I enjoyed the most of couse was the way some villians were developed (such as King Gales Raregroove of Demon Card). I loved some of the characters, but I felt some lacked originiality and development. But none-of-the-less all (or most because I despise Ellie for her weakness) are loveable and are able to connect with the reader.
Enjoyment: Would I read a long series of a series I didn't enjoy? As I read the series I felt I throughly enjoyed it. But hey, it's better than doing homework right?
Overall: Even though there are some aspects of this series that I didn't love 100%, I added this series to "List of Series That Are Underestimated". I hated the anime dubs, they did not give the manga series justice. (The dubbing was horrible and they edited out any violent parts.) Please do not associate the anime with the manga, and please read it. If you think this is for a younger audience (like I did), read it and be surprised. There's plenty of action, adventure, romance, drama, comedy, fantasy, everthing! (Well not everything, but you catch my dirft. Please read it now! read more
