Looks interesting, may give it a spin

Sweet! The first one was one of my favorite import games ever, and one of the better DS games overall too.

Looks good, is it playable without knowing japanese?

I haven't tried this one yet, but the first one definitely was, it was an action platformer. It did help to know the plot of the manga/show though, because sometimes enemies take tricky ways to defeat them, and without onscreen guidance OR knowing how the characters fight on the show you can get a bit lost. I made a walkthrough FAQ for the first one, and plan to make one for this one if nobody else does.

Uh how do you get past the school at the beginning of the game? I've been in every door and now there is nowhere to go

I've been putting a FAQ up on the Gamefaqs boards as I go. The first level shouldn't be too hard, the first mini-boss is on the top floor in a classroom (you might have the find a "!" somewhere first), and then you go outside through the second or third story window and fight a frog.

I'm five levels in, and my overall impression is that it's harder than the first game, but still fun, especially if you like the anime.
