Junior high student Misaki Suzuhara has just arrived in Tokyo to live with her glamorous TV news star aunt and to attend the prestigious Eriol Academy. But what excites her above everything is Angelic Layer, the arena game where you control an "Angel" — a miniature robot fighter whose moves depend on your mind! Misaki's small, just like her Angel, Hikaru (named after her favorite manga, Magic Knight Rayearth), but her natural battle skills have been recognized by a very odd scientist, Ichiro "Icchan" Mihara. Before she knows it, Misaki is an up-and-coming contender in Angelic Layer . . . and in way over her not-very-tall head! How far can enthusiasm take her in an arena full of much more experienced fighters . . . and a game full of secrets? Review: Old vs. New - This is my first written review so I'll try my best to make this easy to understand. I have all the Tokyopop volumes and have compared them to this release from Dark Horse. This omnibus features the first two books with half of the 3rd one. It also for some reason contains a bonus comic from volume 5. Why they would include this with the first 2 and a half books is beyond me. It doesn't interfere with the main story, but it just made me think "what? why include this here?". For those of you that have the Tokyopop books, each of the volumes contained at the beginning a "newspaper" of some of the related events in Angelic Layer or other Clamp titles. Don't expect to see them in this omnibus edition because they aren't here. Now whether or not the "newspaper" thing really was in the original Japanese volumes I'm not sure, but they are not in the omnibus. Also the covers for book 2 and 3 are not present in the new omnibus as color pages which I found to be disappointing because I really did like the covers. The same also goes for the back illustration for volumes 2 and 3, they are not present. The size of the book is much smaller than the CCS books from Dark Horse and doesn't have the nice bright white pages. It's more similar to the Chobits release if you want a visual idea of the size. As for the translation, it's pretty much the same as the Tokyopop version with some slight changes here and there. In my opinion, if you have the first 5 books with the color pages included (which I do) then I don't know if I can really recommend getting this omnibus. If you're never read Angelic Layer and don't have the Tokyopop books this isn't really all that bad, just be aware that it's missing a few things. Review: Having a good quality product - It was my first time using desertcart and the product that was delivered to me was faulty due to some of the words on the edges of the pages were cut off making it hard at times to grasp the conversations and enjoy the book. But they were very understanding when I sent it back and got my money back. Now I am afraid to re-order this book because of having the same result the second time. ## Features - *Trade paperback, measures 5-1/8" x 7-1/4" - *480 pages of remastered artwork, in black and white - *Also includes several bonus illustrations in full color ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 33 Reviews | ## Images ![Angelic Layer Volume 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Kj9nsh7nL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Old vs. New *by S***Y on 1 October 2012* This is my first written review so I'll try my best to make this easy to understand.

But they were very understanding when I sent it back and got my money back.

So,for me,when I saw the omnibus 1st volume I was soooo taken with the colour inserts that I determined there and then to buy the book but because I'd just bought the 3rd omnibus volume of Genshiken,I had to try and get a discounted one.Luckily enough,I found one on Amazon for just under half price.....,sweet.It was very rewarding to absorb the still pictures in my own time as against the flow of the animation.I realise I can pause and stuff,but the book does come into it's own here.Of COURSE I've scanned most of the colour panels and wanted to scan a lot of the regular pages too,but stopped myself.Hikaru was a computer wallpaper for a while.This was actually my first contact with Clamp although I didn't know it at the time.OBVIOUSLY I've since watched and read Cardcaptor Sakura and find Clamp's masterly abilities up there with the best.One of the surprising things in the series is the way Tamayo greets Kotaro with her trademark judo grip.this makes for some very funny,not to be missed,artwork.I even noticed that they drew an old fashioned 'bead close' purse for Misaki...,yeah,I remember those.Another surprise is when Misaki met Hatoko,She wraps Misaki's naked 'angel' in her handkerchief,with a bow too !! SOO cute. For me,page 48 was the most amazing in the book,where Misaki names Hikaru and she slowly wakes up.....,raggedy hair and all,Fantastic ! Do I recommend it......? OF COURSE I DO !! buy it now...,or else....!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/127884855-angelic-layer-volume-1](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/127884855-angelic-layer-volume-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
