    Well, I've seen a few covers for this manga, but I'm a few cents short on details. Anyone know if this is released or planning to be released? If it will be anytime soon, I gotta get my hands on a copy, I love the show on Nickelodean. Very good story and characters, what do you all say?

    I know that the DVD is being released January 31st (Volume One), but I've never heard anything of the Manga. In fact, I don't even think it should be a manga. But since it is, i'm taking my good guess that it's gonna be from left to right....

    It's in this one thing for my school. We have a book selling thing and they have a lot of books there, and I saw a picture of Aang. It said it was a manga, so I believed them. Heck, last time they had one of these, they were selling Yotsiba&! Vol. 1.

    I found out recently that it is published by Tokyopop, if it helps anyone find it. It has Aang on the cover with his glider, and the only place I've seen it is in the ad in that book selling thing catalog. I'll see if I can pick it up tomorrow.

    Woah. Avatar manga? I had no idea. I admit, it's a good show, but my impression was somewhat tainted by it being on Nickolodeon. I guess I'll have to pay more attention to it now.

    Will have to get this. I love the show. Is the manga as good as the show? Does is have less story arcs?

    First of all, Avatar isn't an anime. It's a well done made-in-america-wanna-be-anime. Very well done. If the French company Marathon (creators of Totally Spies and Martin Mystery) took some notes from Nickolodeon, we wouldn't get such crap from them...

    Secondly; chances are this isn't a manga, but a 'cine-manga' which is essentially just pictures form the show pasted together along with a script. TokyoPop makes Cine-manga of everything, Lizzie McGuire, Kim possible, Power Rangers, Jimmy neutron (which is a Nick show, so that raises the chances of Avatar cine-manga even higher), etc.

    i don't understand why people buy Cine-manga...I mean it's EXACTLY like the show, word for word, screen by screen. o_O And why is it called Cine-manga? Didn't these used to be called 'Ani-comics' or something? Hardly any of these titles are from japan (they're done transformers cine-manga) so what rigth does it ahve to be called 'manga'? Avatar I could understand, by Lizzie McGuire!?

    I went a looking and there was no information regarding Avatar manga or cine-manga on the Tokyo Pop website that I saw...

    My little cousin loves this show and got me hooked on it too.:p
    All I have to say is why is the Fire element always the bad guy?
    Sure it's destructive but it's getting kind of old.

    Wow! I didn't know they were coming out with a manga! I watch that show on Nickelodeon. Huh, shouldn't the manga come first?

    Yes, I found it was a cine-manga. Kinda got confused because the ad said it WAS a full length manga book. But of course, we know better. :p Still interesting to read if you don't have time to watch the shows.
