WELCOME
TO MAKE5WISHES.COM
Hana just doesn’t fit in. At school, she
feels like the invisible girl. (“No. Not
invisible. Being invisible would’ve been
cool. I just wasn’t worth noticing.”)
And at home, she avoids her parents’ arguments
by retreating to her bedroom, where she spends
hours online, playing the part of various cool,
smart, sexy, and popular alteregos, and kicks back
with her all-time idol and very best (though only
in her imagination) friend, rebel rocker Avril
Lavigne. One night she runs across a mysterious
website called make5wishes.com. Somehow, she can’t
click away–and before she knows it, she’s
ordered a package guaranteed to make dreams come
true. But will it end up being a Pandora’s
box? It all depends on the lovable but wily demon
inside. Is Hana sure she knows what she wants?
And does she know that what you want can be very
different from what you get?

"A surprisingly profound animated manga
fantasy. Whatever your thoughts on Lavigne, it's
compelling
reading." - The
Gaurdian Unlimited
"Make 5 Wishes is a disturbingly well-constructed
comic with a current spin on a classic story, the Monkey's
Paw specifically. Powerful metaphors and fascinating
character gradations make "Make 5 Wishes" by far the
most compelling work that grafts a popular name
from North American media onto the style of anime
or manga." - Aint
It Cool News
"In a way, it's almost disturbing how close to home it
hits on issues of modern youth: alienation, identity,
celebrity worship and screwing around on the internet
(aren't we all too familiar with that one)."
- Anime
News Network
"As an accomplished and well-constructed
story, Avril Lavigne's Make 5 Wishes may wind
up being the most attractive silk purse woven
from a sow's ear in 2007."
"Dysart and d'Errico's story works
because they have a fairly keen understanding
both of the adult world's various complications
and the inability of most teenagers to comprehend
them."
"Camilla
d'Errico's art, a style somewhere between manga standard and Sam
Kieth's bittersweet cartoon linework creates a world that looks eerily
like Margaret Keane characters trapped
in an Ingmar Bergman film."
