Book Data
Original Manga
There are 3 collected tankoubon for Magic Knight Rayearth (Mahou Kishi REIASU in Japanese) and 3 for Magic Knight Rayearth 2, the sequel. The first part was serialized in the girls' magazine "Nakayoshi" from 1993-1995. The second part ran in Nakayoshi 1995-1996. In addition to the manga chapters from Nakayoshi, each tankoubon features very nice bonus color pages, a minimanga from CLAMP, and character profiles in the back. These original tankoubon are out of print. A few may be found at Sasuga Japanese Bookstore, but more likely you'll have to pick up secondhand copies at Japanese bookstores like Japan Book Mart and JPQueen.
