Gundam Seed Vol. 3: Mobile Suit Gundam
WHEN THE PAST CATCHES UP The battle carrier Archangel finally made it to Earth, but its descent took the crew directly into the African desert, controlled by the enemy, the Zaft Empire. Now, if the crew have any hope of reaching the Federation military base in Alaska, they have to make a desperate dash across the Indian Ocean. Battered by constant attacks, the crew must rely on the goodwill of the neutral island nation of Orb. But Orb's leader asks a high price for his help-the battle data of the Archangel and its mobile suit. No one knows better than Cagalli, the leader's daughter, that he'd have no problem selling this crucial data for political gain. Meanwhile, the last thing that young pilot Kira Yamato wants is to battle his former best friend, Athrun, but a battlefield tragedy may lead to a blood feud between them!

Getting better all the time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Once again, just as the second had better art than the first, the third has better art than the second! Iwase-sensei is getting more comfortable with the characters. Story? Nope. Great ending, of course (brought tears to my eyes) but the story is still sort of condensed. Compare it to the novel and the anime and this storyline is the worst out of the three. Just disregard the few mistakes in translation, and you've got a pretty good manga!
Very good!

This was the first GundamSEED manga I read, but I had seen a few anime episodes before. It was understandable to me, even without reading the first two. Now, that I have read the first and seconds volumes I must say that this is my faveourite. It is very interesting and has nice battle scenes, though I thought the battle in the first and second were a bit better. Nevertheless the plot is interesting and the ending is full of suspense. I can't wait until volume 4 comes out, it will leave you itching to find out what happens. I would recommended this to those who have read or watched GundamSEED before or have a bit of background knowledge. It's still an allright place to start off though! I find that if you have seen the anime first, it is a bit different. The anime is more light-hearted in my opinon. I rate this book really 4.5 stars out of 5 but, a) there is no such option and b) the drawings and ending are so great, I think they earned it!
