I had read the first two of this series for a magazine but didn’t get any more of it until now as the library started carrying it and I think that sort of sums up my feelings about this manga. It’s not bad but nothing I’d run out and buy. It’s not that the story is uninteresting. It’s more that the characters do not pop for me. In fact, I can not review this without manga in hand because I can’t remember their names. That is never a good sign.

Now, I'm starting to see how things are connected and why I should care about some of these characters. For one thing, I finally figured out that some of the characters that I thought were the same character aren't. That helped a lot with understanding what was going on. I like the diversity the author shows in her character designs, but there were a couple that were very similar. As for the story, this book spent more time explaining things, but it also had quite a bit of action. The first scen...more

Nightschool is an American-published manga by Russian-Canadian mangaka Svetlana Chmakova, most famous for Dramacon.
A normal school by day, The Nightschool teaches vampires, weirns, mermaids, etc. The coarse, homeschooled Alex Treveney tries to track down her sister, Sarah, a teacher at the Nightschool. She also has a slight tendency to black out and leave slow,...more

Awesome volume with tons of action and so much of the backstory that I've been wanting from this series! I can't wait to learn more about Mr. Roi, who I might have some hot for teacher feeling for. The Sorhem are incredibly creepy, especially because Chmakova does a great job of giving us just enough information that we're scared of them, but not so much that our imagination can't go wild trying to figure out what is going on. I definitely recommend these books for fans of series like Vampire Ac...more
Three volumes in, the cast is really beginning to gel. Before I wasn't sure why I was expected to care about the huge cast of characters; now I'm really interested in seeing what happens when Alex finally meets up with the hunters again. Chmakova's art continues to be a treat.
The wait between volumes is becoming killer--I think I will have to track down the magazines at the library.

Oh man! What a cliff hanger!
I really hope she's able to start working on more of this series soon! I fear that after I read the 4th volume, I will be full of rage for having to wait because I'll be dying to know what happens next.
I blame Jillian XD Haha!!
It should also be noted that I'm even more entertained that Teresa (character, not me :p) has the same nickname I did when I was in high school (Reese. Though some people called me Reesa). Character Teresa and I have a lot in common; same name,...more

EXTREMELY AWESOME... CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FORTH BOOK!
For those that haven't read this yet, what the heck are you waiting for? Pick up one and two today...okie I'm not trying to sale the book lol just saying, you would love it!
It is packed with action, comedy and adventure. Personally, I think this is a book that would be great as a normal book and also a movie (providing the right director)!!!

Absolutely wonderful series. I even follow the artist on twitter (seriously not a twitter person). I dearly hope more will be added to this series. So much action, one girl alone in the world desperately trying to find her sister in a world where only her and another can remember her to begin with.
Finally the plot begins to develop a little more. We learn where and how Sarah was taken, if not why or by whom, and we have a good idea of who the chosen ones are and why they are a danger. This continues to be a fairly entertaining series.
Svetlana Chmakova is an OEL (Original English Language) manga creator that I have been aware of and reading since she started publishing her comics online through Wirepop and Girlamatic. I loved both Chasing Rainbows, a story about a girl whose future is foretold, and Nightsilver, a story about a young witch. Unfortunately both stories have been on hiatus for years now since Svet had to turn her attention to publishing her first professional manga series, Dramacon.

I really like this series, but man, this volume was so short. It was like practically nothing happened. And I keep forgetting the storyline during the wait for the next installment!

The plot thickens as the Sohrem begin rising and the Hunters search for Alex, while the young seer Mar struggles to battle for control.
Only one book to go, right?? Can she really wrap everything up in just one more book?? I'm on the edge of my seat!
The story continues to suck me in. A quick read with great dialogue. I am impressed with the translation's vocabulary.
Finally getting in some good fights scenes and a LITTLE bit more background info. YAY!
*SQUEELS*!!! I luved it, the drawing and the characters rock!!!
Another great installment of this engaging series!
Really good! Love the illistrations and the plotline!
Still loving this series, though I think I liked the story progression in the first two volumes a bit better. Seemed like Chmakova was trying to pack in a lot of detail in this one, which gave me less time to just enjoy the characters.
On a side note, I'm very said that Yen Plus Magazine is ending its print subscription services...where I've been keeping up with my Nightschool chapters. I think they'll still have an online subscription available, but I'll probably now just wait for volume releas...more

2 1/2 stars.
Yes, finally some answers!!
As always, amazing art, well-integrated funny parts to brake up the action, and THE ASTRAL IS ADORABLE!!!! I WANT ONE SO BAD!!!
*ahem*
If you liked the first two, you'll definitely like this one. Enjoy!

Well, now I really wish more volumes of this were out. I'm feeling like the story is finally starting to coalesce.
Things really begin coming to a head in this installment and we learn some important background information. I really liked the parts about the search for Sarah, but the ones involving Mr. Roi's students left me a little confused. But no matter what, Chmakova's artwork is amazing.
Not as cute as the first two books. This issue gets more serious and tries to answer a few questions about the past and bring the characters together. It left a lot more questions for the future! I hope the next volume gives more answers and has more going on.
I loved the first and second volumes i'm almost done with this one!
I loved the first 2 books and I can't wait to read this one!
Loved it. Can't wait for v.4!
