The arc with Shadi and his Shadow Game with Yugi was excellently done. I really enjoy Kazuki Takahashi's art work; he makes good use of dramatic shading and perspective (by chapter 13 it's improved from the first ten chapters considerably). I also dig his unusual, random humor. He can have an intense dramatic scene going on, then he'll switch to the narration saying and showing "Meanwhile, Jounouchi is still running..."
Jounouchi: "You're the one who knocked out all his teeth Anzu!"
Anzu: "I only knocked out three!"
^Anzu is so proactive. She defends everyone by picking up a globe and slamming it against the zombified professor's head to stop him from strangling Jounouchi to death. The manga really is a lot more violent than the anime. Shadi actually murders someone as a result of the Penalty Game.

This is a kid's manga? Personally I think some of the subject matter is questionable. Then again, I don't know what the audience is, but it must be the same target audience as Naruto. The genres both YuGiOh and Naruto fall in seem about the same.
Hehe, this is the second manga I've gotten into reading that's a shounen. I don't know why but I can't stand shoujos. I only own two shoujo anime series and they're only because they're the most tolerant of the genre I could find. I don't like too much emphasis on romance when I watch/read anime/manga. I like it as a major plot line or a minor one but as the whole focus it puts me off and I get impatient with the characters. Maybe it's because I personally haven't had much real-life satisfaction in the romance department. Well, whatever.
Yami: Get your dirty hands off my Puzzle! Goddamn brats! <----- Best line ever.
Anyway. I'm really liking this. Hopefully when I reach the dreaded switch-over to the Duel Monsters Rule All and Hey Is That Guy With the Weird Hair a Pharaoh? part of the manga, the subplots will have more focus than they do in the anime.
The whole manga is WIN for this tiny little scene between Yugi and Jounouchi ALONE. It's a fourth wall breaker that I think sets the tone for the rest of the manga:
Jounouchi: Yugi, why are you wearing your school uniform on a Sunday?
Yugi: Is that weird?
GEE I WONDER. XD
