i started reading the series Mai-HIME and was curious as to how many books there are in the series and if anyone could give some info on the series, the store here only has the first two books in stock.

I am not sure why I bought the complete series on Ebay and have not gotten around to reading them yet. How is what you have read so far?

so far its realy good, kind of one of those addicting stories. lol the names for things are a little eh, but its not bad. def keeps things interesting. but as for the story. the plot seems decent so far, potential to develop nicely. but theres alot of flaws so far.

not yet, but i def intend to, im only on book three but its realy drawn my attention so i will probly buy the anime for it as well.


ok this is a little seperate but i cant doube post >.< lol

ok so i just finished Mai-Hime and WOW for a series that only has 5 books it surprised the heck out of me. in the begining i was a little iffy but about half way though i was thoroughly intrigued. once you get past the weird names for things its a really good book. the charicter devopment was very well done the art was a bonus from the begining, i loved the artwork for it. and the ending....just wow for a 5 book series it wraped it up extreamly well in my opinion.
the story's villans i guess you could call them jump around a bit and are slightly annoying for example spoiler[ going from Orphans to suddenly ok SEERRS are good....but bad...and then wtf who is this obsidian prince and all this randomness] but it worked really well. evne if it was a bit confusing if you dont really pay attention.
