The Best Ever
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I was always interested in viewing Harlem Beat, but I never got around to it being young and a new emerging anime fan through the Sailor Moon genre, I spent all of my money or Rayearth and Ranma. Now...7 years later, I must say, manga on a much more realistic level, such as this, is like a breath of fresh air. I got interested in Harlem Beat through reading Rebound in my local library. Since I had already gone so far into Rebound, I decided that I wanted to get back at it's roots and look into Harlem Beat, and I must say, this series keeps me smiling. We know in real life that there's not always a happy ending and the guy doesn't always get the girl or vice versa. The very reason for me why romantic comics get quite boring after a while and feel like a waste of money. Harlem Beat seems to parallel life on a lot of aspects. Me and my sister find Harlem Beat quite inspriring to the point where we quote it. I think it's one of the best series to look into, unless your preference is more towards super powers and romance. In addition to being funny, and having a variety of well developed characters, it can teach you some good lessons to apply to life.
I LOVE THIS!

On my country, this comic has it's own place in the heart of me and my pals. Even though I read some critical text that says it just not worth in this page, I know it's worth it. Natte soon will be going strong. And I already buy and read volume 1 until 27. I think it will be ended at volume 29, and I am really sad about that. The art work getting better through the timeand personally, I am never see something more like it. The story line will be better, and It is the best manga you'll ever read. Just buy it because it is funny, entertaining and it is all you wanted

i loved this comic! at times it was very serious and the slightest comment would make me worried about how the outcome would be and yet at times it was so funny that i laughed right out loud. the style of drawing was hard to take in at first because it is not a very common style as far as manga goes but after a while i realized how realistic the drawings were (for manga) HB is both shonen and shojo with the drama mixed within the action i couldnt put this one down!
it is a great book

Though there quite alot of basketball comics. Harlem beat is quite different from the rest. The characters are very special each in their own way.There is also humor added to the story and the team spirit and the player's love for basketball makes the bk real great.It is all abt tears of happiness and sorrows shared among a group of pple who love basketball.
Best Basketball Comic I've ever read!

It is the best b-ball comic I've ever read and I praise the author, Yuriko Nishiyama for it. I have the whole set, 25 bks, and stilling waiting for more. I hope there is a website on Harlem Beat. The boys are very handsome and the girls are very pretty. I only wish the publishing is much faster.
