SynopsisYuuichi Tate is overjoyed: He gets to go to a brand new high school. Of course, then he just happens to find out the school he choose is under frequent attack by strange creatures called ''Orphans'', and the school set up a special task force of female members called ''HiME''s, using various elements as their powers, to battle these invaders. That's not all, though. Each member of the HiME task force has their own, unique ''Key'', another person whom, upon being discovered, can team up with the HiME to create a ''Child'', a combative unit specifically needed to effectively battle these Orphans. And with Yuuichi's luck, he just happens to find out he's not just the ''Key'' for one of the HiMEs, but for two... Two highly competitive, rival schoolgirls. And that's only the start of the trouble. (Source: Tokyopop) |

If you enjoy yuri, girls with guns, magic powers, and manga adaptations gone horribly naughty, then the Mai Hime manga is for you! Like the El Cazador manga, the Hime manga is over-the-top ecchi on every level. Both manga and anime have guns, magic, heavy yuri and nice art. Different plots from the anime in both instances are nice changes for different story lines.

Aug 18, 200826 of ? chapters read 2 of 3 people found this review helpful At the time of writing I have read 3 volumes.
I have to say that I was scared by the start of this manga. I loved the anime and this was so different and fan-servicey that it scared me. I persevered and so far I am glad I did. The fan service has died down and the plots are coming together.
It seems like the plots are coming one after the other rather than one arc. That kinda gives me the feeling that they weren't sure where they were going. But apart from that feel...ing of uncertainty it seems to be going ok.
The characters (if I stop thinking about the anime) are well concieved and seem like they have depth. They are different to the anime though, same basics but with differences in behaviour and history. Hmmm may have to do a bit of writing on the differences.
It's hard not to compare the two and they do differ very much. It is more than a rehash of the anime. It's most definatly an AU (alternate universe), but that gives it a chance to make it's own path, which I think it does.
