My Review:

I highly recommend reading this series from the beginning so you know what is going on or you might get lost!  This is my first time reading this series (but I have seen the anime so I know what is going on) but I really was impressed with the artwork and characters.  It comes with a cool card!

Jaden and his friends are dueling some very powerful and great players.  Jaden's friends are losing terribly to these American duelists.

4/5
