This book is totally for every age, gender, species, etc. Once you start to read it you WILL NOT be able to put it down, it is that interesting and fun. As you read it you truly feel like you can accomplish anything and that it's okay to follow your dreams. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who can truly appreciate a good story line when they come across one, and to anyone who is just getting into reading manga, this is definitely a great series to start with, although it'll be hard to find one you'll like as much as this one.
