Girl Got Game, Vol. 2 Paperback – March 2, 2004

Hillarious love this series. Great condition just as described from seller.

I absolutely love the series Girl Got Game (Power!!). In this volume Kyo must come up for an explanation of why Chiharu felt what he felt when he touched her chest. Kyo decides he must act more like a guy and comes up with an idiotic plan to do it. Kyo tries to act like "one of the guys", obsessing over girls. Chiharu realizes Kyo is just trying to put up an act and calls him on it. What is poor Kyo going to do?Normally,I would give this series five stars. I, actually, wanted to give it 3.5 stars, but rounded it to four. Half of the graphic novel (and I mean a full half)was extra stories, not even featuring the cast of Girl Got Game. I felt ripped off, like the series was trying to be dragged out in to more volumes so they could sell more. I didn't pay for the short stories, I wanted Girl Got Game. It didn't help that didn't even like the short stories. Oh well. I still like and recommend this series, just be aware of what's in this volume.(It came as a shock to me.) ^_^

I just have to say that I really loved this graphic novel!It's the story of a girl who's father wants her to be a basketball player, so she ends up dressing as a boy to be on the boys' team (where all of attention and good players are). It doesn't really focus on basketball, but rather on the relationship between her and her roommate. I really enjoyed it and am trying to find the second one.If it had any faults, it was that it moved just a little too quickly, but it doesn't really detract from the story.

For all shoujo anime/manga fans out there, this is a must read! Of course, that's only my opinion. I really liked this series and I have already finished reading all of it in Chinese. Also, go read Fruits Basket and HANA-KIMI!!!!

If you've heard that Girl Got Game is about cross-dressing and you think that's too silly, or if you've looked at a couple of pages and dismissed it cuz the art's not good enough, or if you don't like the cover or have a thing against basketball or are just stubborn and miserly; I'm here to tell you that you are missing out on something brilliant! GGG is laugh-out-loud funny, an excellently illustrated romance, and neither too light nor too deep for any shojo fan; it's pretty much perfect.Kyo Aizawa is the unfortunate daughter of a guy who thinks basketball is the only career option worth taking. So he signs her up for a boarding school that's famous for it's basketball team. The fact that it's a boys' team is no problem for Kyo's doting dad; he just enrols her as a boy. So Kyo turns up for the first day of term, annoyed and apprehensive, and happens to see a really cute guy playing basketball with talent. She's delighted to be on the team with him, but he turns out to be a jerk - and also her roommate!As Kyo struggles with her identity secret, team expectations and loneliness, she begins to value her bolshy bishounen more than she had expected .... but how long can she keep the truth from him?GGG is rated Teen (13+) by the publisher, and there will be 10 volumes in the series. Volume 2 also contains 2 one-off stories and some chatty stuff from the author (at the end). I would strongly recommend Girl Got Game for anyone who likes a hilarious manga with strong characters and believable romance. Which includes you, OK?!
