Avril Lavigne's Make 5 Wishes Volume 1

This book is a beautiful start to the series that introduces you to a lot of memorable moments that I felt was enjoyable. It was a shame this series did not last longer but from what you can read it is truly a stunning journey.

GREAT book. EXCELLENT condition. Very happy with seller. Thank you!!!

Let me firstly say I'm a huge fan of Avril Lavigne, I've got all her albums, she's one of the few modern era young musicians who actually writes her own songs and lyrics. It is obvious though, that the editor, book publishers or whoever should have insisted she play a bit heavier part in writing this thing, as it is simply a pretty mediocre storyline. On the first page, we get a message from Avril where she tells us she is excited at the opportunity to create a graphic novel. However what part she actually played is a bit ambiguous as the concept on the next page is claimed by someone called Camilla d-Errico. Camilla also claims to have done the art and written the thing with someone else called Joshua Dysart. So did Avril sit around a boardroom table with these guys and give suggestions for the plot, who knows. One's things for sure, that amazing lyric writing talent should have been used instead of the drivel d-Errico and Dysart came up with. Saying what they wrote is pretty average is being very kind. There's hardly any substance to the plot of an unpopular loner girl, who talks to her imaginary hero and friend (Avril Lavigne). Hana stumbles upon a website called Makes Wishes and it's not really explained what she does or why but a box arrives with a very poorly drawn multiple horned red demon inside who encourages her rebellious streak such as urinating in the street. Oh and if she snaps of each of its five horns she gets a wish for each. Avril warns her time and again to not use the demon but Hana wants a better life.The pictures are pretty average as well. Most of the characters look the same, even one of the girls who was making fun of Hana looked exactly like her but taller. The Avril Lavigne imaginary friend looks nothing like Avril, although they do seem to be able to draw Avril as she looks more realistic in the posters on walls.Plus we have the ultimate con, the graphic novel doesn't actually end. It just cuts out as if a whole story was written and ripped in two. So therefore if one of your five wishes was to know if two of Hana's four wishes made so far will also come true, as well as what her fifth is, you'll have to buy volume 2. Unethically this isn't mentioned anywhere on the cover. Buying this you'd assume it's a standalone read.

i thought this was a very nice little manga series. i give it 4 stars only because i really think volume 2 didn't give any real resolution. i also give it 4 stars because i felt that the main character has great relateability. wish there had been a third volume, but i highly reccomend. i think it's a lot better than the manga series they did based off Courtney Love.

I really enjoyed reading this manga; however, that's probably because I'm a fan of Avril Lavigne. Overall it's amusing for just a few minutes.Based on trite melancholic themes, it's about a lonely pre-teen girl, lost in a headphone haze from listening to too Avril Lagivne, who uses five wishes given to her from a demon to make her happier and more popular.Despite the cheesiness, Avril Lavigne herself is written into the 2nd volume in an ending I didn't foresee.

This is anawsome manga! I love Avril Lavigne... But also the story is great! Goes into depth with the characters! And the storyline is good!

It's a good book left me on a cliffhanger but it just makes you want to buy the other book. I can't wait for the other book!!!!

I love comics. I am a big ( very big) avril Lavigne fan.It's only ashame that I can't read comics at school .😖😖😖😖😖😟😟😟😏😏

I used to like Avril Lavigne back in the days and I've always been curious about this comic. Then I found a cheap second hand copy and I bought it.I quite like the art. There are no definite lines and everything just seems sketchy. It works for me. The colors are, as usual, a bit darker for my liking but overall the art was the best part of this work.The main character... I dislike her so much. I'm not a big fan of negative characters, though. Those who intentionally hurt people because they feel like doing it. And Hana hurts people, because people always hurt each other. Kind of a grim Weltanschauung, if I may say so. She's such a fan of Avril Lavigne that the singer is her invisible friend and confidant. Till the day she buys a 5-wish box out of the Internet. And Romeo enters his life.Romeo is a sort of demon who can grant wishes. Of course, when you make a wish, things won't never end up the way you want them to. Hana tries to improve her life but she leaves a trail of destruction after her. Other people pay the consequences of her actions and I'm not sure I like this.Tomorrow I'll read the second one but I'm not sure I like the path the authors have chosen for this comic.

アヴリルも登場し、彼女のコメントも掲載されているのでアヴリルファンにはマストアイテムではないかと思います。学校にも家にも居場所がないと感じているハナを主人公にしたストーリーは、マンガとは思えないくらい深い内容でかなり読み応えがあります。今のキッズが抱えている問題をテーマにしていて、その上アヴリルまで登場するからアメリカでとても人気が出てるんじゃないかな。英語もそこまで難しい英語は使われていないので、読みやすく英語の勉強にもなると思います。
