Good by thebikernun on December 7th, 2009, 10:24pm

I really enjoyed this one. Yes, it was 80's all the way but the story line was good. The characters had depth and you could see growth in them. I love these kinds of manga. It's a good read.

A time trip by akari_mizunashi on February 13th, 2009, 3:52pm

Some people complain about the overwhelming "80s-ness" of Cipher. I personally love it! There are countless references to 80s music and television, the characters are all decked out in full 80s radicality, and the Michael Jackson doll dressed up in Barbie clothes may just be my favorite inanimate object ever featured in a shoujo manga. The portrayal of New York has a few flaws - it's obvious the creator has never actually seen the grittier areas - but it's actually pretty accurate and very well-drawn, especially compared with some other manga's idea of it (i.e. Marmalade Boy). The characters aren't collections of stereotypes like most shoujo mangas, and they too are very well-drawn if you don't mind the 1980s giant-eyed style (which I happen to adore). The premise is pretty ridiculous (this is 1980s shoujo, after all), but the storyline is still lovely and you may find yourself really caring about the characters.

Interesting Story by sweeteden on September 16th, 2007, 6:31pm

Although the art is not that great since it was made in the 80's; I gave this manga a chance and I actually quite enjoyed it a bit. I'm still reading it--I finished volume 7, moving on to volume 8. The story is pretty good and moving as well. Good characters--the main female character is not annoying and or weak. It's good so far and can't wait to read the rest! :]
