Product Description:
THE X-MEN GET A RADICAL NEW REMIX IN A STORY ABOUT TEEN ANGST, FIRST LOVE, AND WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
High school student Kitty Pryde has always been the odd girl out. A mutant, she was born with strange superpowers, magical talents that make her the class freak. But Kitty’s world is changed when she’s invited to study at Professor Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, a special home for mutant teens. There’s just one catch: Kitty’s the only girl at the all-boy school, and she ends up just feeling like a freak all over again.
Then Kitty meets Pyro and the ultra-hot bad boys of the Hellfire Club. They’re the school’s elite–handsome, rich, and totally above the rules. Now Kitty seems to have it all: a dreamy boyfriend, super-cool friends, and the chance to develop her extraordinary talents. But why is her heart telling her that something is wrong? Will Kitty ever find the place where she belongs, or is she doomed to be a misfit forever?

Have you ever dreamed of an X-Men comic drawn in shoujo style where all the characters are teens, the boys are pretty, and one girl is caught up in the whirlwind of it all? If you haven't started vomiting by now, then you're in luck, because X-Men Misfits is just that! Please stop laughing. This is a real book.
Kitty Pride is a teen with one big issue. She has a tendency to fall through solid objects. Her power alienates her from her schoolmates, who think she's nothing but a freak. ... Read More

A fresh take on the X-Men, mixing Xavier's School with Shojo manga (a la Ouran). Like a love letter to everyone who loves both.
We follow Kitty Pryde as the only current female student at Xavier's in her first months at the school. It's so fun to pick out each character in their new manga form (Beast is Totoro-like, Cyclops is still sanctimonious, except in teenage version, which means straight edge, ah, beautiful).
I can't wait for volume 2, I hear there will be more female students! ... Read More

I love shoujo manga, and I love X-men. When I saw this first volume I thought the concept was too hilarious to pass up. I knew there were going to be differences from the original; the art alone told me that much.
For the most part I liked the characters, and I loved this version of Kitty Pryde. She's got spunk, which is always a plus for a manga heroine. I like how it's told from her point of view, with her thoughts being narrated throughout.
Most of the characters were pretty ... Read More

Let's wander for moment here. Speaking literally, this is not just the X Men, nor is it really a normal manga, so, I propose the term X Manga to describe this. X Men: Misfits is a pretty darn good book that really stands up well to the North American X franchise all around.
Having said that, this takes us to a young X Men team at Professor Xaviers' School for the gifted. Scott, Wolverine, Bobby, Aurora, and Magneto are already there when Kitty Pryde arrives. Realizing that she has ... Read More

I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would. I actually scoffed when I saw it announced many months ago. But I saw some previews and had a change of heart.
First of all, this is *NOT* like the X-men comics you are used to. If you are expecting that, you should pass on this book. It's unfair to compare this to it's American styled counterpart because they are just two way different approaches to storytelling and art.
This is a shojo manga, which means it's targeted at a female ... Read More
