First thought it was just another comedy, fantasy, or perhaps, maybe, another perverted manga made by Japanese for just some fun. I have no interest of reading it since I found it somewhere in the internet. I didn't read the reviews, comments, synopsis, etc. all about the book until one day, one of my friend told that this book is nice, I tried to search again for some comments about this manga, and found some scanned pictures taken from this. A nice graphics, based on the figures of anime and read some dialogs that are clear, biblical, some sort of clever but fun reading. Up until I've got more interest to search in the internet for scanned pictures so I can read the whole, for some curiosity first, but can't find anywhere.
So I tried looking on the malls for about a month or two. Then one day and that's Wednesday this week (June 4, 2008) when my friend's (Gal) friend (Karen), (which also I considered my friend) is celebrating her 18th birthday, I planned to buy something fit for her as a gift with the help of Gal, considering OUR gift to Karen. And Gal told me from some info's by her friend what Karen likes to have or what's her hobby, we found out that she likes reading books, devotionals or anything. So we come up of devotional books, at the same time, same day, I head to Big-R to PCBS to look for books which fit for her as a teen, or perhaps as a youth. After several minutes, I found two books which is very interesting, In the Chatroom with God & Xtreme Faith. I bought those two books less than P500. And while I'm on the counter, I asked if they have Manga Messiah, they have it!!! I add it quickly and finished the transaction and back to school for class and went home at 8:00PM.
The same day, night time, before going to sleep, After reading the Bible (everyday task, scheduled by Daily Bread, 'Bible in one year'), I try reading the 1st part even it was almost late at night and it was nice up until I can't wait to see the next part. And by the time I finished chapter 1 and make ready to sleep. It was day 1.
The next day, no class. Bedtime, same task Bible reading and then read whole chapter 2 in 1 and a half hour. And the day passed. It was day 2.
The next day, Wake up late I didn't cope with my first subject and hurried ready for 2nd subject for a quiz. Done preparing myself and 1 hour more before the next class starts (less 30 mins for the ride) I read the half of chapter 3 in 30mins before go to school. And night time, I finished it off. And it was great!
I finished reading the 280+ pages in just 3 nights! And was a great book to read and really interesting because of the clever-comic-manga-style of the book which fit and most like young people read to. You will feel every part of the situations. The sound effects shoo, woosh, fwoo, yada yada... And looking of it with a full-colored manga and a 280+ pages for just about P150.00!!! And now I'm looking for Tagalog version of this manga.
