About Pandora Hearts Manga Volume 1
Pandora Hearts Manga Volume 1 features story and art by Jun Mochizuki.
The air of celebration surrounding fifteen-year-old Oz Vessalius's coming-of-age ceremony quickly turns to horror when he is condemned for a sin about which he knows nothing. He is thrown into an eternal, inescapable prison known as the Abyss from which there is no escape. There, he meets a young girl named Alice, who is not what she seems. Now that the relentless cogs of fate have begun to turn, do they lead only to crushing despair for Oz, or is there some shred of hope for him to grasp on to?

By Far My Favorite Manga
by Alex
Pandora Hearts is a fantastic series, if you're an active manga reader, do yourself a favor and buy this. I watched the anime first and after the 25 episodes were over, I had questions (anime ends on a cliffhanger) so I went out and bought all the volumes out at the time. There are so many unexpected turns the story took, so many twists, jaw dropping moments and emotional character deaths. The one and only problem I see with the manga, is that it was a little confusing at the beginning. So a lot of people are turned off of it and don't continue. Everything is answered eventually though :)
Twisting, Turning Fantasy
by Alissa -
Mochizuki Jun does not mess around. Her artwork and pacing are riveting from the get-go, and over the course of this series, become ever more sleek and entrancing.
Pandora Hearts is an incredibly detailed story, with worldbuilding that doesn't rely too much on exposition, and twists that both startle and make complete sense within the context of the story - it's clear they were planned meticulously.
One should be warned that while there are many lighthearted moments throughout, this series as a whole is fairly dark. I would not recommend it as a good choice for those under 13, or those who need endings that are happy for everyone. In an emotional sense, it's rather in-between CLAMP's xxxHOLiC and X.
For those looking for a riveting, beautifully plotted and drawn fantasy with three-dimensional characters, though, Pandora Hearts is top-of-the-line.
As always, Yen Press provides quality printing and translation, as well as bonus content and translation notes at the end.
Get It While You Can!!

Nothing-- and I mean NOTHING made me happier when I found out Pandora Hearts was getting re-printed. I collected this series in it's single volumes and in the box set, and let me tell you-- the art and the story are both amazing. The story takes a dark twist on some of common fairy tales names we know and love and really makes it it's own.
Pandora Hearts is my favorite Manga series and I hope it'll be one of your favorites too
