awesome.

SGT frog is by tokyopop and their prices sometimes goes up as high as 18.99 (retail) Blade of the Immortal Series. Viz books are relatively inexpensive at likely either 7.99 - 8.99. The Free to read is no different than you going to your local B&B and browsing through them. Manga is a collectable. Don't compare and debase it, if you simply cant afford it.

amazing...

name:Master Stamp | posted 2010/01/12 PM06:06

i knew just by looking at preview pictures at comic con i'd like this series. and its great how its free to read cause it s just too much too read the book cause i mean 10$ for an issue of sgt.frog? and higher when i have better things to spend $ on but anyways this is a great series so far but only 6 chapters? but u know im only *held by writer* so i probably dont have the right to say that compared to how my art is...

The Best Manga Ever!

name:Ryan Sinclair | posted 2009/12/02 AM10:15

Out of all the manga that I've see since Case Closed! and Naruto I deem this the best of the best. In fact I think that Hyde nad Closer are far better than Naruto and Dragon Ball.

I'll vouch for Hyde and Closer anyday. I only hope that Hyde and Closer get their own anime on Cartoon Network and video games on both the Nintendo DS, PSP and iPod Touch.

Why

name:Mahiyu | posted 2009/11/28 AM09:26

Why is this manga rated T+? theres not alot of blood in it so far. Naruto has more voilence than this. There has been no sexy stuff or fan service (yet). It dosen't make much sense to me.

I think that the hair thing in chapter 5 looked A LOT like Yura's hair in Inu Yasha. They could have done something diferent like........... I don't know but thats what I think.

hyde

name:hyde | posted 2009/11/22 AM12:31

this is a great anime, just the first 5 chapters aint that understandable in the plots, go to one manga and read up to chapter 35, then 36 and over will be posted next year, well thats what i hear

I love this manga just as much as or a little less than katekyo hitman reborn! 9 of 10

Give it time

name:james tan | posted 2009/11/07 AM05:25

trust me when i say this series will pick up soon enough. Four chapters in there isn't a great deal to praise it on, but having read on, th story begins to pick up the pace and it really does become interesting.

well.....

name:eyesamurai | posted 2009/11/03 AM11:50

It's not as interesting as the other manga here so far.Although,i do like Shunpei's characteristics so far.It's a pretty good manga.I 'm looking foreward to reading the next chapters.

Ehh

name:Bushido | posted 2009/10/24 AM12:03

I really like this manga, but you sure are releasing the chapters slowly. Doesn't this series come out weekly in Japan?

one a month =...

name:theMysteriousJ | posted 2009/09/27 PM07:32

You do realize that at this rate, there will be ONE graphic novel released per year?

Magazine

name:Mahiyu | posted 2009/09/22 AM10:26

I know that this has nothing to do with the manga but I think that Shonen Sunday should make a magazine in North America. You know, like Shonen Jump magazine. If you agree then post a review saying so.

Thank you

Five Stars!

name:B.C. | posted 2009/09/12 PM06:02

'Hyde and Closer' gets five stars! it's as good as 'Shaman King' and better than 'Reborn!'

its the best

name:haha | posted 2009/09/06 PM05:31

i love it more than life

Looking Good so far

name:Rachel | posted 2009/08/27 PM03:47

I wasn't expecting much when I started reading this series, but after two chapters I can say I've been pleseantly suprised. What I liked the best was the whole message of 'believing in yourself' that appears in each chapter. Sure, this is a common motif in many shonen manga, but the way it's presented here just has something. It also helps that there was actual character development in the second chapter. I can't wait to read more

neat

name:Justin | posted 2009/08/27 AM04:43

hmmm so basically this series has given me two types of vibes: 1 shaman king except it's not ghosts and Reborn!. So far this series seems promising and i'll be looking into it week after week or depending on when it get's updated around here.

One Word: Awesome

name:SLiNk14 | posted 2009/08/24 PM12:27

Hyde & Closer looks very interesting so far. It has its own story line, not like the others who seem to get ideas from the really good manga, such as Bleach (best), Naruto, Death Note, etc. I look foward to reading more of this.

Looking Forward To More!

name:SLiNk14 | posted 2009/08/22 PM02:12

I can already see this manga being BIG! The story itself is pretty good and the characters are amazing. So far I already l think Hyde is pretty cool. And his awesome weapon ... TEXAS CHAINSAW! ...

Very Nice

name:Allen_ST | posted 2009/08/14 AM09:48

As some people around here I really didn't think I would like this manga but this is really nice,keep translating chapters please!.

Great Manga

name:Jaz88 | posted 2009/07/30 PM04:19

I liked the manga a lot I look forward reading more of it!

Reborn meets Kon?

name:kayue | posted 2009/07/30 PM12:00

I'm getting a very "Reborn" feel from this manga. With a touch of Bleach's Kon mixed in. Like the teddy's attitude.

Something I would follow

name:Jordan H. | posted 2009/07/27 PM06:29

I like this story. Its different from most manga people would read. It made sense. Everything tide into the story. It didnt really dwell on anything. Shunpei isnt your average crybaby like most of the main characters who people claim to be wimps. The flashback was cool because it told how Hyde and Shunpei met and it expressed the relationship between Shunpei and his grandad. Mostly everything we needed to know was told in this chapter. I give it 5 stars

Better Than I Expected

name:Hyde | posted 2009/07/23 AM09:38

I'll admit, when I looked at the illustrations, this series didn't look like something I'd like. I never read things with a goofy-looking mascot, but I decided to give it a chance, and I was pleasantly surprised! The story is shaping up to be quite interesting, there's some great humor, and I love a stuffed bear with attitude!

Really great series

name:Chris | posted 2009/07/22 PM07:05

A series like this can either end up being a bad or good manga. Fortunately this one has the potential to being a really fun and great read. 5 stars

Stuffed Animals of Death!

name:Sesho | posted 2009/07/22 PM06:30

Kinda of a twisted version of Rozen Maiden, except with a super macho Chocolate cigarette chomping Mike Hammer-like stuffed bear battling against cursed stuffed animals instead of Goth-Loli dolls beating the cotton out of each other. First chapter was funny and a bit creepy but I don't think it's a series to follow in the long haul. Could very easily fall into the monster of the week rut.

A very good series!5stars

name:Jb | posted 2009/07/22 PM03:36

Closer is the average middle schooler: he has no family.He is picked on and not to mention whoever eats his heart will gain enormous power! Well maybe not your average middle schooler! You see his granfather was the best mage(magican whatever you call it!) in the world. And every thinks that if they eat his grand son they will have enormus power. That is where closer comes in. I don't want to spoil anymore all i will say is that is a good series!
