Summary: Hands down, one of the greatest novels I've ever read !
Comment: When I first bought the US version of the Shonen Jump magazine in High School, I was amazed at all the stories, cept for DBZ, which I already seen like a million times on TV. Yu-Gi-Oh is one of those stories that cannot be ignored !
Believe it or not, this is a manga based on the first season of the Yu-Gi-Oh series in Japan. What you saw on TV was actually the 2nd season known as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. The reason why the WB didn't take the original first season of the series was because Yami Yugi was an extremely violent character, and bringing it was out of the question...however, they accepted the 2nd season, which didn't appear to be violent at all.
Before all those countless duel monster matchups and the seemingly fun Dungeon Dice Monsters, there were deadly shadow games. And if you ever wondered how Yugi first had the ability to transform into his darker self, all answers are right here on the first volume on this Shonen Jump graphic novel.
As for the names of the characters. Longtime fans won't be very fond with the Japanese names, seeing as they were only used to the US names. Here they are:
Yugi Mutou - Same name
Surugoku Mutou - Solomon Mutou (Yugi's Grandfather)
Katsuya Jonouchi - Joey Wheeler
Hiroto Honda - Tristan Taylor
Anzu Mazaki - Tea Gardener
I applaud Shonen Jump and Viz for staying true to the original. After all, it's what the author originally intended. Unlike the Yu-Gi-Oh you've been seeing, this shows Yami Yugi's true colors. Although kind hearted and willing to protect his friends, he would challenge his enemies to a shadow game. If his opponent loses, Yugi would set a penalty game, using his dark powers. In a penalty game, the loser would either hallucinate and go crazy, get severly injured, or worse...get killed. How cool is that ? Well I can't spoil any more surprises since this IS a manga ! You'll have to figure it out on your own.
My suggestion ? Rush down to your local bookstore and pick up this one-of-a-kind graphic novel. Yu-Gi-Oh fan or not, this is worth picking up, and believe me, it'll be impossible to stop reading ! Every volume of Yu-Gi-Oh just gets exciting every time. Throw out the cards and lose the dungeon dice board...because it's time to experience Kazuki Takahashi's masterpiece, the way it was meant to be ! If not...PENALTY GAME !!!!

Summary: The Opinion of a 13 Year Old Girl
Comment: Watching the TV show, I pretty much became stunned by the animation, cast of characters, and the all-in-all originality put into it. But it still didn't answer the question that bugged me for years; where the heck did this all start from?
Then I read the manga, and it pretty much cleared it up for me, but aside to that, it's creepy plot, cast, and the endless suspense in each chapter left me looking at Yu-gi-oh at a whole new angle.
Even though this is a Shonen manga ('Shonen' meaning 'Boy' incase you're wondering), I myself being a girl even enjoyed it, and I think that's pretty cool that one series can do that. So if you think you can handle it, I definetely recommend this manga.

Summary: this is a must have
Comment: Well, after seeing the show I liked readeing shonen jump. Well, I must say I'm impressed! Now, why is this better you ask? well, first off you've watch the kids WB show there is one question that probaly bugged you... where did this all start??? Well, your question has been answeraed! and it has all of the original japanese names!
Now for age. When they say 13 up they mean it! parents don't let children atleast under 10 read this! It's extremely violent and has some mild language. Yep so this isn't your average kids WB kiddy show! So, you have been warned! But still of you are 10-11 still get your parents permission.
Out of all good manga. now I'm not gonna give anymore details so read it for yourself!^^
