Though this book is labeled as a young adult novel, I loved it. The version I read was an advance reading copy, and on the back of the book it states that it is intended for ages 15 and up. I would definitely say that this age description is accurate, as this seems like a very adult book, even though it is written in such a way that young readers can understand it (it's certainly not "dumbed down" though!). I would warn young readers and their parents, though, that there are some very dark moments in this book, and if you are squeamish, know that this book can get rather grisly in detail (it's not terrible, but I do feel like I should add this warning). A teen or pre-teen under the age of 15 can definitely read this if they are mature enough, but they should know about the few dark parts of the book (a few characters are killed, etc.).
I also want to mention that I think the relationship between the two main characters was very classy and well done. As this is intended for young readers, there was no real sexual interaction, but the love between the characters was portrayed very well. On that note, I really liked that the characters were able to be developed fully despite the brevity of the book.
All in all, I really liked this book, and it was surprisingly good for something I picked up on a whim. I had not read the previous book by this author, but I definitely intend to read it soon!

I'm very saddened that this series has gone so downhill. With the last volume, I was hoping that this dry period in the series was just a fluke, but volume ten was even worse. It was boring, had very little real plot, and seemed to be nothing more than an avenue in which the artist could draw pictures of the girls in revealing cat-girl costumes and diapers. I doubt I will be reading any more books in the series. I really preferred the first 5 or so books over the anime, but now I'm not so sure I can recommend the manga series as a whole.
I'll be honest -- I never really followed Wonder Woman. She just never really appealed to me. I read this book because I noticed that my library had just gotten it, and decided to give it a try. Regardless of (or perhaps because of) the fact that they have completely rebooted Wonder Woman, I really liked this graphic novel. The artwork is fantastic, and the coloring is beautiful. There were several pages that I would have liked to have printed out in copies to hang on my wall. I also liked the story, though it ends with a cliff-hanger (which was to be expected).
There were several lines of cheesy and occasionally flat out bad dialogue throughout the comic, but I think that even with these cringe-worthy moments, this is a book worth reading, especially if you are a comic reader who always felt that Wonder Woman just wasn't your cup of tea.

This manga was surprisingly good. I didn't have high expectations for it, after having heard the plot, but it is very funny and a good, quick read.
I liked this volume less than the first three. All I can really say is that the storyline is just getting more... painful. Once again, the characters are all being forced to almost marry various different characters and must perform crazy antics in order to either get out of the betrothment or into it.
