Grade: 5

Kaito is your average, video-game-obsessed boy who mysteriously receives a new game called "Gamerz Heaven". When it loads he gets sucked in, literally. Things get tougher and tougher and he realizes that not only are lives limited, but saves are too! He has to finish the game, especially when the final boss is trying to cross over into the real world. Yes, I said the final boss — it's volume one, and already she makes an appearance ... rather anticlimatic I would think for the rest of the series.

Overall, it's a pretty good read. Gamerz Heaven is a theme that's been run into the ground, and so far I don't see anything really original. However, the navagator/boy, Nata, that Kaito has to protect is super cute (as is their relationship). Plus, Kaito is pretty pathetic in the game, and Master Rush is not even trying and he's winning. The art is very good, especially with creatures and battle scenes. However, I don't think this is a series I would really follow. While it has battles, it's really rather dull.
