Before I say anything, I have to make my bias clear: I am, and have always been a huge fan of Ace Attorney, from when I played it on my friend's DS to now.

And as you can see by my rating, I really do love this book. Although it's official (I believe it's stated somewhere), these are all actually fan-written and fan-drawn, which explains the variety of drawing styles. Nevertheless, the fan-work are all at the highest quality. Some stories are touching, some are funny, while other's can probably cause your teeth to rot.

My favourite story is a tie between Chibi (child) Edgeworth and Edgeworth falling sick. Both stories are humorous, and especially for Edgeworth being sick story, shows the childhood friendships between Nick, Edgeworth and Larry.

Yes, I know that you can find free fanfiction on sites like fanfiction.net, but it's always good to support the fans. Plus, all the short 3 panel gags are simply too hilarious(: ( )

OK, so I ripped open the package and devoured this in two hours when I got home from work tonight. I'm a nerd. Sue me. Sue my pants right off.

This volume of the Phoenix Wright manga centers around Miles Edgeworth, the sexy, sexy prosecutor who is arguably the world's first gay video game hero. (Some argue that he is just dainty.) He is Phoenix Wright's uptight rival/friend/gay love interest. Tension and jokes abound.

To be honest, some of these comics didn't make much sense at all. Maybe it's just a weird translation. But that's not to say they didn't make me laugh.

It's the little things that cracked me up. Edgeworth buys a magazine called "Prosecutor's Friend" that includes a pull-out poster of the Judge. Phoenix and Maya argue about whether the Pink Princess is "sexy." Franziska goes whip shopping. It has its heartwrenching moments, too. Edgeworth goes to criminal lengths to keep sweet little Pearl from seeing a movie with a sad ending. Phoenix tries to convince Edgeworth that he is not alone in the world.

I really wouldn't recommend this to people who haven't played the games. They just would not understand it at all: you need to know going into it that Edgeworth is uptight and Phoenix is a slob and Gumshoe can't do anything right and Maya loves to eat and Franziska is a bitch. This book made even less sense than the first volume, and most of the humor comes from having fun with the foibles of characters that have been established in 3 games (Apollo Justice isn't mentioned here). It would be just like when I tried to jump into volume 6 of Fruits Basket: I had no idea what was happening. But Ace Attorney fans who have a soft spot for Edgey (hey, ladies!) will not be able to help but dig this. ( )
