 GOING HOME?Jun 01, 2006
By Sesho
Volume 5 is the last installment of the Ultra Maniac and it wraps things up quite nicely. All the relationships are pretty much brought to their fruition but there's still some bumps along the way. Nina has some big decisions to make. Her classmate and half-witch Sayaka (who tried to kill her last volume) has asked Nina to stay away from Hiroki, because Sayaka likes him, but Nina refuses because SHE has feelings for him. When Sayaka throws a comment in Nina's face to the effect that "Why are you leading him on? You're going back to the Magical Kingdom anyway! Might as well cut it off now!" This really makes Nina think about where she wants to spend the rest of her life. Complicating things is the fact that a recruiter from the Magical Kingdom's prestigious Eltora Imperial University of Magic has come to persuade Nina to study at their school. They think Nina has the potential to be a great, if not the greatest witch of her generation. The problem is that she'll have to go away for 3 years, and leave all those on Earth that she loves!
The strength of Ultra Maniac has never been the magical girl concept, but the lovable characters. You really want everything to work out with them, and up until the last chapter, you're really left in suspense as to how it will all end up. The art is great, if a little generic. It's nice to see Nina grow up a bit and mature and go after her dreams. You never would have thought the girl in Volume 1 would've succeeded. The bonus chapter at the end was a little dumb and unnecessary and could have been done a lot better. All in all, this has been a wonderful series.

 The Best In The SeriesMar 16, 2006
This is the final vol. of Ultra Maniac and of course they save the best for last. Nina goes to the Magic Kingdom to study and leaves all her friends behind. But the ending is terrific! The bonus story I considor should be part of the book itself, it shows what happens in three years after Nina graduates> Overall a very good book!

OFCOURSE THEY SAVE THE BEST FOR LASTMar 26, 2006
I agree with the first reveiw that the bonus should be part of the book. Dont read this if you dont want your book spoiled ! In the bonus their is a fake Nina that predends to be the real Nina. When the real Nina comes everbody is happy becouse the fake Nina was acting very odd. And everbody lives happily ever after!!
