Lucky star is a Japanese comic strip by Kagami Yoshimizu which is serialized in the Comptiq magazine from January 2004. Other magazines like Shonen Ace, Newtype, Dragon Magazine, CompAce, Kadokawa Hotline and Mobile Newtype also published its cameo strips. The four main characters of the strip are: Konata who is an intelligent and athletic girl dedicated to the prime time animes of her choice to do extremely well in everything but in otaku culture; Miyuki who is a cute living creature who wears specs and has encyclopedic knowledge on almost every subject; Kagami who is a sweet-bitter, tough and shy girl who likes to read light novels but feels alone because nobody in her group shares this interest with her; and Tsukasa, her twin younger sister who is a air-headed klutz, she is not good at studies neither in sports but is an excellent cook.
The comic strip does not have an on-going plot but typically focuses upon the everyday lives of its characters. The Lucky Star, Vol. 1 was released on 8th January 2005, followed by four more volumes. The show appears to have great sense of humor and despite the perky characters, four panel origin and attractive style of art, the show is set on low-keys. As the volume moves forward, we are able to know the characters.
The Lucky Star, Vol. 1 available in DVD is a wide-screen anamorphic transfer and the quality of the video is just excellent. Due to its great presentation values and fantastic design, the show shines manifolds. There is no compression, grain, cross-coloration or aliasing and the bright style of art allows a very vibrant display. As far as audio is concerned, the choice 2.0 Digital Dolby presentation is just perfect for the plot. The DVD of Lucky Star Vol. 1 includes the trailers, textless opening and promotional clips of the show. In terms of characters, potential and design, the volume is quite appealing and attractive.
