Zatch Bell, by Makoto Raiku

Zatch Bell, by Makoto Raiku, starts in the night, a boy flies through the air hanging onto the talons of an eagle flying towards the city. Zatch Bell is his name. In the morning, a boy's mother starts pounding on his door telling him to go to school. His name is, Kiyo Takamine. Kiyo complains saying that he's smarter than the rest of his junior high, including the teacher. Then Zatch Bell comes through his window saying he shouldn't talk to his mother that way. Zatch had a letter from Kiyo's father, he handed it to Kiyo. It said that his father was proud on his 14th birthday, he found Zatch in a forest in England and cured him, Zatch wanted to return the favor by helping Kiyo. Zatch only had his clothes and a red book and barely any memory of his past. Zatch said he was going to be his instructor and Kiyo had to take care of him. Kiyo had no intention of taking care of Zatch, he was going to punch him when Zatch unleashed a powerful blast and made his room a total mess. Kiyo soon discovers that Zatch is a Mamodo, a child from another planet with powerful magic who will become king of his planet if he defeats all his enemies with the help of Kiyo. Zatch Bell is like and unlike to some of the other anime I have watched and reviewed. For one, its about momodo's again, demons, but not evil. Unlike since they are good and use a spell book to be momodo king. I would recommend this to only anime lovers since Darren Shan fans would think this too boring since they might expect blood and gore. -Reviewed by Patrick, grade 9.
