I just started reading this manga after my boyfriend bought the first four volumes. (It's probably my fault he did it, I got him addicted to Rave Master.) This is probably one of the most cliche and predictable things I've ever read, and I read a lot of shonen. And yet... I love it. I'm pretty sure Natsu is my new favorite thing, ever. I don't even mind the fact that everyone looks like carbon copies of Rave Master characters.
