Hana Yori Dango
Has any one ever read this Manga? There is no review for it. I was wondering if there is anyone else out there that has read it?

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."

Acctually now that I have read a little more of it there is alot of laungage. The plot and story line are really good but the laungage is really bad. It is really too bad that a good story line to be ruined by cursing.

Well, I haven't read the manga, but I have seen the anime which is pure shojo and I think they are pretty similar. There were some themes at times that seemed to belittle women, well no they did belittle women. There are some almost rapes, some sexual elements in which the female charactars are responded to inappropriately. It seems like they don't think it is a big deal. That was my biggest problem, but it isn't that bad and the charactars develop/mature sufficiently that they learn their actions were wrong somewhat. It was still one of my fav. stories though. I'm going to start the manga where the anime left off soon.
