Read a review of
Aventura Volume 1, a magical
shonen manga series by Shin Midorikawa from Del Rey Manga. With its plot centered around a boy with untapped magical powers at a school for witches and wizards, it's hard not to compare
Aventura with the Harry Potter saga. But for better or for worse, we're not at Hogwarts anymore.
Anime on DVD reviewer Greg Hackmann recommends
Aventura Volume 1 for its "eye candy" artwork and a "confused muddle of good fantasy and good action
manga."
Calling it a mix between
Naruto and
Harry Potter, Manga Life reviewer Dan Polley gives
Aventura Volume 1 mixed reviews by describing it as "appealing, yet somewhat disappointing."
