It's true. There will be no second volume of this or the Wolverine manga.

Normally, the word “blasphemous” is reserved for things against one’s religion. :)

i wish they would make a movie out of it. it tends to be easyer to understand what the writer means to say.

I would like to say that I am a 20 something year old, that loves shoujo manga, but have been in love with the x-men for as long as I can remember. Therefore, when I saw that there was a shoujo adaptation of x-men, I knew I had to read it. In my opinion, the manga in its entirety was sub par. I was slightly offended by the straying from some of the characters traditional personalities, and I found the shoujo plot line and dialogue was fairly weak. I believe that there is room for definite improvement, but I also believe that the authors and the artist are capable of making that improvement in time. Regardless of my disappointment in the novel, I still found it quite engaging, so I plan to purchase the next volume when it comes out and view it as a work inspired by my beloved x-men and nothing more.

Hm…At first i thought that the manga was going to be something stupid but when i started reading it i liked it although i was a littie sad when i read manga because it didnt have my name but oh well which one does!!My favorite character is bobby because one he looks cool(not cute but cool) two i love winter, ice and anything that has to do with cold and three i like his attitude because i am the exact same thing…So everyone who created the manga good job and keep on writing the rest of the series!!!

Maybe it’s just me, but I found this particular manga to be boring at best. The story is just your basic shoujo high school plot with X-Men names pasted in.It might appeal to those who like the same old shoujo formula in a different skin, but I gave up and just skimmed it after the first several pages.

It’s kinda sad that the X-Men franchise is being shipped as a boring, uninspired, and unoriginal shoujo manga.

I like it. At first i didn’t like most comics and read mangas and such. But when i read this i felt like i could connect to the characters! I like all of the characters (except some in the hellfire club). I definatly think X-Men misifts can be related to by teens. Which is what some people look for in manga and such. I wish they had a fanfic category for just X-Men Misfits… but they dont….

THe artwork’s pretty decent and I like Scott’s new personality. I also like Bobby’s because lately he’s been portrayed as a goof off. It’s nice to see him serious.

It’s true that this doesn’t much resemble a superhero book, although there are a couple of action scenes. And young mutant girls have always mooned over the boys, haven’t they? They still do in Wolverine First Class. :)

I don’t know, Johanna. Maybe I’m just speaking as an old-time X-Men fan here, but this comic doesn’t seem like X-Men at all. Kitty Pryde mooning over all the hot boys is really goofy.

But then again, I’m a guy in my mid-30′s, so I have no idea what young girls are into these days. Heck, “Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane” is a moderate hit.

I was really hoping this would be about the X-Men meeting Danzig, but I’ll settle for Kitty Pryde’s high school troubles.
