I forgot to mention thus though a few weeks ago I finished reading the manga the english dub went up to episode one hundred and four then I watched the rest in Japanese for the faudo arch with subtitles though wait a minute the creator broke his hand so the show ended before the final arch so I had to read the faudo arch as its way different then the show then I read the clear note saga as it was translated by fans and I Finally got to see the ending of zatch bell err gash bell as its known in japan definitely do what I did and watch the english dub then the rest in Japanese then read the rest of the story by manga its crazy but well worth some mamodo deaths are truely heart breaking I wouldn't bother with the extra volumes they are filler only the very last chapter of the extra volumes is worth it
