I really enjoyed Fighting Boy Meets Girl a lot more than the first FMP anime series. The novel has some funny episodes in the front before breaking out into a longer adventure. Kaname’s school trip to Okinawa is ruined when a group of terrorist hijack the plane and force it to land in North Korea. Sousuke has been separated from his regular arsenal by airport security, and he must fight to protect not only Kaname, but also the other hundred kids on the school trip. MITHRIL, the secret organization Sousuke works for, can only help in a limited capacity to avoid starting an international incident with North Korea. The novel culminates in a fierce mech battle using secret and highly advanced technology of which Sousuke has no knowledge. I am not a mech fan or a giant robot fan, but I was able to enjoy the battle. Perhaps I like it because Instead of taking place in the Gundam-esque future, FMP takes place in the present day in an alternate universe where mechs, called “Arm Slaves” are a developing technology. The translation is decent. At times there are a few awkward sentences, but one gets the feeling they are presented as the author intended. Overall, it’s a smooth read until Kaname starts lecturing Sousuke about how he thinks of his own life. That section seemed as if the concepts in the dialog were very difficult to translate. Since this is the first FMP novel, fans unfamiliar with the franchise should not be lost reading it. For people familiar with FMP, Tessa, whom I found really annoying in the original anime, is mostly absent and seems way less annoying in book-form. I can easily recommend this book to those already familiar with FMP as well as the FMP-curious. Fighting Boy Meets Girl may have too many sci-fi and action elements to really be taken serious by adults, but it is far from literary garbage. Teachers and parents (and students writing essays) could use the terrorist element of the book or the setting in North Korea as a jumping off point for a discussion about history and current events. The AS robots leftover from the Soviet Union could open up a discussion about the Cold War Era. Trust me on this. Two more novels in the series are due out next year. However, I am more interested in reading the as-yet-untranslated short story collections. Filed under: Reviews, Blogs, Manga Recon, anime, manga, Tokyopop
