 An Unnecessary Arc, An Overall ReviewFeb 10, 2012
By John M Chapman
I would like to start by saying that the only reason I purchased and read this arc was to read the final Yu-Gi-Oh! story arc, Millennium World. As you may or may not know, this storyline was not written or illustrated by Mr. Kazuki Takahashi, the man responsible for the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series, but instead it was penned and drawn by one of his assistants, Akira Ito. That being said, I have to say that the artwork is very similar, especially in the fourth and fifth volumes, but the story is not.
The story crafted in this arc is nothing more than what seems to be an attempt to make more money off the series. The characters, who, timeline wise, have just completed Battle City, act like near-novices to a game where they just finished championship duels. Needless to say, the story is outlandish, the new characters are way exaggerated, and the rules of the game are very confusing as they are explained to be a mix of previous rules, yet the characters constantly break those established rules.
Overall I would not recommend this part of the series. Unless you are a purist, and find yourself "needing" to read this, I would say it would be best to not waste your time and go ahead and read the final Yu-Gi-Oh! story arc. If it makes any difference, this storyline was written after the final Yu-Gi-Oh! arc anyways. I find this to be more like a well-illustrated, but badly written fan comic more than a canonical addition to the series, hence the three-star rating.
 A yugioh series for the fans. Review of all five volumes.Oct 19, 2011
By Saito Hajime
"My reviews are short and sweet. Don't like it, go die please. :D"
If you are a fan of the original yugioh characters, then you are in for a treat. This series captures everything good about yugioh and tells a story right after the battle city arc.
I'm 5-starring it as a yugioh manga and not a manga in general. You should know what you are getting into: Nail-biting, edge of your seat duels to the death, and loveable classic characters fighting in the name of friendship.
Unlike the trash GX and 5Ds manga,(where I have no idea where they are supposed to take place within the main plot,characters act like they are meeting for the first time, and use weird decks), yugioh r fits perfectly in place of the series gap and tells a story of Pegasus' twin protege, the kidnapping of Anzu(Tea), and the 3 EVIL GOD CARDS. Epic.

 Good for the ones that like the card game, but not for those who like a story.Oct 26, 2009
By redconvoy
Reading this was like playing Sonic Adventure Two. At least Sonic Adventure Two had a plot purpose. What was the purpose of this new story?
Anzu is kidnapped (cliche) and then it's up to Dark Yugi and his friends to save her. In order to get to the main angst ridden villain, they must face these freakish or totally unreal duelists to get to the "boss level" like every video game made out there. I'll give this a chance, but since Takahashi didn't write this, I doubt very much this is going to have the same quality story that his original manga had. I don't see the purpose of Temna at all. He has as much purpose as Dartz did in the filler arc in the anime...NONE! I think it was one of Takahashi's staff members that came up with a fleeting idea. I think some of the stories on [...] would have made a better manga series. Sorry Akira Ito, but you need to learn how to write a decent plot and next time, research the characters a lot better. Get into the writer's mind and consult with him before you undertake something like that.
If you like the card game only, then you'll enjoy this. If you like Takahashi's original manga, you may or may not like it. For me, I'll continue buying it, but I hope it gets better.

Worth the Wait!!Nov 06, 2009

Some may question Yu-Gi-Oh R, since it is developed by Akira Ito, an assistant to Kazuki Takahashi during the earlier Yu-Gi-Oh, rather than Takahashi himself. Don't let this stray you away from buying Yu-Gi-Oh R. The story stays true to the magic of friendship and everything else that is Yu-Gi-Oh. The new cast of duelists is great. Half are introduced here, and I can't wait for the next volume to see the rest. Takahasi was right to trust the future stories of Yu-Gi-Oh to Ito. Don't wait any longer to buy it!!
