Product Description: By day, Meimi Haneoka is an ordinary student at St. Paulia’s middle school, but by night she is Saint Tail, the magical thief who steals back treasures for their rightful owners. For months now, the aspiring young detective Asuka Jr. has been hot on St. Tail’s trail. At first he thought he was doing it for justice, then because it was a game with a worthy foe, but now he’s beginning to realize that his feelings may be more complex. Of course he’s also got feelings for Meimi (not knowing that they’re one in the same). Can he finally confess his feelings and if so, for which girl?
One of my favorite manga. In the first chapter: A corrupt mayor steals a priceless statue, and the blame goes to Saint Tail!!! In the second chapter{the continued part of the first}: Asuka Jr. gets the statue back with the help of Saint Tail. In the third chapter: Meimi, Asuka Jr., Seira, Sawatari, and Lina{Rina in the anime} go to Aqua Land. There, Asuka Jr. stars thinking that Saint Tail and Meimi are the same person. Also there, a boy wants to be reunited with his friend, a pearl dolphin and have her be returned to the ocean. In the fourth chapter: Because her mom has been sad lately{you'll know why if you read the book}, Meimi returns a stone to complete the Prominence Crown. Asuka Jr. tells Meimi that he loves her. Highly Recommended
The Confession from Asuka-kun One of THE BEST volumes of Saint Tail.... THE BEST!!! Asuka Jr. confesses at the end to Meimi that he loves her! Such a great scene.... After his encounter with Saint Tail, he sits alone on a bridge thinking about Meimi. He remembers something Sawatari said to him... There's a treasure at the end of the rainbow. He sits through the pouring rain, staying out all night, and finally he realizes he would be late for school, so he chases the rainbow for some reason, and finds Meimi. He then colapses on her, then confessing his love... Such an amazing part of the book... This is absoutely one of the best that I have read by Megumi Tachikawa, and you MUST buy this and experience it for yourself!!!
