[ShinjiKun]

Whoa, there is sutch a thing?

I like.......Evangelion........dear god I need a life

[forces_of_light]

It's a draw between Naruto, Shaman King, Rurouni Kenshin, .Hack//legend of the twilight, and Trigun.

There's an ocarina of time manga?????

[DrkMtx3.5]

Berserk!

[forces_of_light]

I almost forgot...FlCl manga is REALLY good too.

[~MaLink~]

Yeah, if you talk to me online, then I can send it to you (but it takes a wicked-a long time to send -_-;;) or I think Sikaru knows the site where you can get it. I forgot. *embarrassed look*

[LeltheHuggles]

Midori no Hibi.

Yep. Romance. Got a problem with that? It's stolen a piece of my heart. ^_^

[ZanKun]

RK, hands down. Naruto is pretty close second though.

[Windmill]

Mines... NONE! Mwah. Wait... I guess I show post my favourite one.

I say... the kingdom hearts manga! =D

[ZanKun]

There is no Kingdom Hearts manga...is there? :blink:

[Windmill]

yep, there is. I've read some.

[Kaden]

Marmalade Boy is awesome!! ^_^ I've read the 1st four books of it!

[LeltheHuggles]

Sorry but Midori no Hibi owns all.

*waves flag*

Whoo Midori-chaaaaan!

[forces_of_light]

What's Midori no Hibi? I've never heard of it. although, I haven't been in the manga world for very long :unsure: ...

[LeltheHuggles]

Oh, don't worry, it's not liscened. It's a cute, sweet, and insane romance/comedy story about a guy whose kinda rough n tough, but bad with the ladies. Apparently, one girl DOES like him. And then of course somehow she magically manages to replace his right hand (one day he just wakes up and *poof* there she is on his right arm). This often leads to many funny situations (like going to the bathroom) and it gets progressively wacky, zaney, yet still sweet and sorta romantic. In the latest bits, there were mad scientists, robotic daughters, and lesbianic daughters, and robotic lesbianic daughters! W00t!

[forces_of_light]

Holy crap, I want in on that. And not for the lesbianic stuff either, it sounds like a really good manga!

[LeltheHuggles]

I'd give you the site but its really slow now, so no need to burden the server.

>>>>The lesbian stuff isn;t explict, or perverted at all, and it's only a small snipit

>>>>Though there is a gay guy. He's a pansy, wimp, girly, etc. Yet he get's all googly eyed around the man charecter, starts blushing, etc. It's funny, yet somewhat disturbing.

[forces_of_light]

This reminds me of Chobits for some reason. Sounds really good, but Naruto has now reached my top, just because of the new issue in shonen jump.

[Goddess Din]

You can download the Oot manga here:

http://www.zeldanodensetsu.com/

Sikaru is so good, she gave me the url of the manga! Wah...and it also has the MM manga and Ooa and Seasons.

My favorite manga is X/1999, I have the first 18 volumes all in different languages, english, japanese, german and now spanish, lol.

[Hero*of*Winds]

My fave manga would be Naruto, .hack//LEGEND OF THE TWILIGHT, Dragonball Z (cuz i luv it no matter how boring it can get XP). Sadly I haven't read that many mangas.

[forces_of_light]

I love .hack//legend of the twilight, but I haven't read it yet. I will soon though! I went out and bought vol. 2, and ordered vol. 1. I'll be reading them bith by next week. Anything .hack has to be great!

[Yoshomika]

The Yu Yu Hakusho Mangas are good. It made me mad at the shows for not putting most of the plot in.

[forces_of_light]

I just remembered that! Like when Yusuke get's trapped in that boxer's body? that was never in the show!!!

[forces_of_light]

The ocarina of time manga is the shnit!!!! Thank goddess din!!!!! Link is so cool!!!

[Goddess Din]

LInk is cute, and somewhat stupid and naive, but still cute, I love the expression he makes when Navi comes to him for the first time.

Don´t thank me, thank Sikaru since she found the url first.


How much does the .hack mangas cost? Are they truly the end of the series of .hack or only some novels?

[forces_of_light]

I don't know if they're the end of the series(but I seriously doubt it) but each book of .hack//legend of the twilight is made by Tokyo pop so it should be $10.

[LeltheHuggles]

[ZanKun]

My favorite manga is X/1999, I have the first 18 volumes all in different languages, english, japanese, german and now spanish, lol.
I've been wondering about that manga. What's it supposed to be about?

[LeltheHuggles]

The end of the world.

~Lel-Kun

[forces_of_light]

Okay, that narrows it down to about half of the manga in the world, at this rate we'll be at X/1999 by the time we're eighty! Come on, specifics!

[Goddess Din]

Alright, here it goes my best explanation:

Definition of X/1999: X was published first in the Asuka manga magazine around 1991-1994, it was meant to finish in the year of 1999 which is the year in which the serie is set to, but so far it has 18 mangas released, 4 still to come, an OVA, a really good movie and 26 episodes in total, each thing (manga/movie/anime) have a different ending, yet the ending of the manga might be the true one.

X/1999 is considered as a "Seinen" manga, meaning is directed for both boys and girls, so is appealing to both genders, I believe is rated for PG-13, since it has gore and violence, and some shounen-ai.


Creators: X/1999 was created by the famous shoujo group called CLAMP, which is a team formed of four women who have done previously some famous works, like Chobits, Magic Knight Rayheart, Sakura Card Captors and Tokyo Babylon, being X/1999 the longest and the more important. Even though CLAMP group are called "The Queens of Shoujo", the have still tried many other genres, such as shounen (with Angelic Layer and recently Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle), shounen-ai (boy-boy love), yuri manga (intense girl love) and some without a definition.

History of X/1999: Is the year 1999, it was foretold that in the year the world will end, in one way or another, Kamui Shirou (which is the main character) is a young 15 year old boy who recently came to Tokyo, his name has two meanings the first is: "The one who will bury a God", and "The one who shows the magnificence of a God", he is the one who will determinate the future of the world with his decision of which group to join.

There are two groups who try to save the world at their own way, The Dragon of Earth and The Dragons of Heaven. The Dragon of Earth say that is impossible for humanity to change and slowly in war, famine and other disasters humanity will only end up destroying themselves and the earth, and they believe that the only way for the Earth to survive is to kill all humanity, but the Dragons of Heaven believe it the other way, the have chosen to protect the humanity and the Earth thinking there is always hope, so they mainly protect the human beings from the Dragons of Earth until the fate is decided.

But Kamui has no interest or watshover for the future of the Earth, he has only returned because it was his mother´s last wish and to see his childhood friends, Kotori and Fuuma Monou, who have seem to be also caught in the battle of the end of the world.

I admire anyone who read all this.

[forces_of_light]

Sounds a lot like that anime X. I may just check into this X/1999, sounds very intersting.

[DrkMtx3.5]

... It should sound alot like the anime. ~.^

Man, GD, I still don't get what you see in that series. =P

I admire anyone who read all this.
Wow, I'm admired! B) XD, Sounds a lot like...a lot of other mangas. I may look into it, although right now I'm currently obsessed with Chronicles of the Cursed Sword, which is sort of like RK with magic and demons thrown in.

[forces_of_light]

Currently, I'm reading...well, many different manga at the same time. I'll try to name them all. Let's see...um, Trigun, .hack//legend of the twilight, Shaman King, Naruto, FLCL, the ring and rurouni kenshin.

[LeltheHuggles]

Sounds a lot like that anime X.
:rolleyes:

Gee I wonder why...

~Lel-Kun

[kpak]

yeah, i definitely have ONLY read the OoT manga, but i LOVED it... i still get confused on which box i'm supposed to read first tho :(

but yeah, that manga rocks! any suggestions for someone like me who doesn't read any mangas, like any good ones to start with, easy to follow, etc?

[DrkMtx3.5]

Read Berserk and you won't ever care about any other manga series EVA.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v55/DrkMtx3/orange.gif

[MaLink]

Are the Berserk animes good? I saw them at blockbuster on Saturday, but didn't pick them up (got Millenium Actress instead-- GOOD MOVIE).

[DrkMtx3.5]

They're old, but I think they're great. Then again, it's my favorite anime and manga, so I pretty much reccommend it to everyone. If you do decide to pick it up, be warned: it's gory. ~.^ BUT it's got a great story to it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v55/DrkMtx3/orange.gif

[MaLink]

How gory? Like...make you sick gory? Is it as gory as Akira?

[DrkMtx3.5]

Eh... not until the last couple of episodes. But really... go see it. You won't regret it. ~.^

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v55/DrkMtx3/orange.gif

[MaLink]

Okies. :P

[Samwise_the_Great]

Naruto and Shaman King are my favorite manga's
Shaman King anime sucked Fox Box ruined it

[forces_of_light]

Sounds a lot like that anime X.
:rolleyes:

Gee I wonder why...

~Lel-Kun
I didn't know at the time if they were the same or not. I have realized my mistake, so please everyone get off my back <_< .

Yes, FoxBox did ruin the Shaman King anime.

[Davin_Nightwind]

Uh...I've only read one, Rebirth. Well book one. I need to get the rest of them. Good stuff, if you like vampires.

[Goddess Din]

... It should sound alot like the anime. ~.^

Man, GD, I still don't get what you see in that series. =P
What I couldn´t see? It has its funny characters, like Sorata who cracks me up, it has an interesting and interesting plot and deep issues about the morals and such, it has its residential bishonens (which are a lot) %$$-kicking characters with their own personal problems and issues, many good amounts of fights and magic, making it more interesting and many surprises and stuff, not to mention that the main character is so cool and tragic, and the art of the manga is piece of the art.


But isn´t Bersek somehow gory? I thought it was.

[LeltheHuggles]

X/1999 is kinda a yawner.

*yawns*

~Lel-Kun

[Goddess Din]

X/1999 Is pretty much like a love/hate thing, there are some people who either love it a lot or just hate it, seems like there is no middle point.

[LeltheHuggles]

It's OK.

Just too slow, and too much talking about the end of the world while basically nothing important happens.

Once it started moving it got slightly more OK.

~Lel-Kun

[Salem_Saori]

Gunmm, or Battle Angel Alita. It's a seinen, deep, sad, and it has got a lot of blood in it... I love that manga.

And Sorcerous Stabber Orphen..., although still different from the Anime (very different), it's still fun to read. And I also like Marmalade Boy and Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne...

[Goddess Din]

It's OK.

Just too slow, and too much talking about the end of the world while basically nothing important happens.

Once it started moving it got slightly more OK.

~Lel-Kun
Well.....X/1999 is pretty much like .hack, is not for fights lovers who want to see blood every chapter and thrilling action....


But off with you! *gives Lel-kun Miyuki-chan in Wonderland OVAS*

[LeltheHuggles]

[Goddess Din]

[LeltheHuggles]

Arigato!

~Lel-Kun

[Goddess Din]

Now I would like some bishies in return :angry:

[Salem_Saori]

Ecchi desires? O_O

And by the way Din... You liked Orphen, didn't you...?

[Goddess Din]

Yeah, I am interested in the plot and all, though I have never see it I am searching for the anime like crazy, and I CAN´T FIND IT!!!

But it looks good, is about a sorcerer bishi who is an orphan and his this sidekick, right?

[Darkmoonchild]

I dont have a fav manga. I kno what tacobell's fav is......... :unsure:

[Salem_Saori]

Yeah, I am interested in the plot and all, though I have never see it I am searching for the anime like crazy, and I CAN´T FIND IT!!!

Well, sorta... His sidekicks... ~.^ (I've got a shrine webbie for two of the characters, now that I think of it... O_o)

And I don't live in America, you already know that, and they sell the DVDs and VHS' of the first series (it's divided in two series, the second one hasn't been released yet); if you've got any anime/manga store near, you should check. ^.^

[Goddess Din]

Yeah, but Spain still has more anime and manga than Mexico, and even though I buy the mangas from Spain they are still sort of hard to understand, only the slang though, why do the keep calling each other "tio" so much anyway?

[Salem_Saori]

Tio? Hehe, that means like "guy" or "dude" ^_^ Although they don't say it that much in the mangas I've got...

[Goddess Din]

O.o;; The manga I go was Angel Sanctuary and they keep calling each other "Tio", is sort of funny, so dude eh?

Though this phrase confused me a lot: "Este tío es un capullo" , "A mi no me pasará un plin".



Crazy spanish people.

"Este tío es un capullo"... Hm... "This guy is a moron".

"A mi no me pasará un plin." Even I am confused abou that one. Literally, "He will not pass me a ..." Plin... What is that? O_o

[Goddess Din]

Yet again, crazy spanish people...


Ok, we are getting really off topic now, so back to topic....who here knows how much is Shonen Jump supposed to cost? I bought my first volume ever, and I loved it, although it has made me feel like watching Naruto, the poor cutie got stabbed by the masked girl/guy/wathever.

Okay Zack, calm down...

[ZC]

Um....I read Pokemon Adventures :blink:

[Quetzal_Kaizoku]

Anyway, my favorite manga is probably the Excel Saga one.

http://www.zeldanodensetsu.com/


*gawks at hot adult Link and huggles cute chibi Link*

[forces_of_light]

I've printed off a good bit of it.

Hope that's not ilegal...
:huh:

[MotoX_Champ]

I like the Love Hina series and especially the Trigun mangas.

[Goddess Din]

Lately I have been reading the Angel Sanctuary mangas, is the biggest taboo manga I have ever read, sheesh, not a single conventional relationship there....

[Mayura_Yume]

My favorite manga:

Matantei Loki Ragnarok, One Piece, Inuyasha, Fruits Basket, Ayashi no Ceres, Alice 19th, Shaman King, Naruto, Hikaru no Go, Trigun, Yu Yu Hakusho

That's it pretty much...I think...X.X;;;

[LeltheHuggles]

The site that was doing my favorite manga has closed.

-_-

However I'm reading a new manga, ABOUT SEX.

No seriously, I am and it's not hentai. It's about teen pregnancy. It's surprisingly cute, charming, and addictive. Also, another shocker, there's no nudity. I'm glad to see a manga where the purpose isn't to entice it's readers with sex, but offer something of another value.

Wai~~~, it's so cute.

~Lel-Kun

[Keropium]

Carcaptor Sakura, Love Hina, Ranma, Dragon Ball.

[Darkmoonchild]

I like the Love Hina series and especially the Trigun mangas.
Love Hina Is Awesome!

[Kaden]

Marmalade Boy is my fav by far! ^_^ But I haven't read that many, sadly.

I've also read the 1st volumes of Yu Yu Hakusho, Inu-Yasha, Harlem Beat (it was... interesting... O.o), Ranma 1/2, Dragonball, and I think that's all...

I've also read CCS, Oh!/Ah! My Goddess, and I can't remember what else...

T.T Wahhh!! I need more YYH manga! But I have no money!

~Lel-Kun
Really? Sounds like a manga I know, is it Imadoki?


By the way, I just read a chapter of a manga called "Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden" (note, not the same, an alternate story before the first Fushigi Yugi) and there was a...scene that when I saw it, I thought of you.

[LeltheHuggles]

Ah, 'tis must be the scene where the blisteringly hot bishonen steps out, sweeps the girl in his arms, and proceeds to make hot passionate SECKS to her.

OF COURSE you'd think of me then.

Btw: The Manga is Akkan Baby. The first two chapters are GREAT but it's kinda going downhill. Bleh.

~Lel-Kun

[Goddess Din]

That sucks...I hate it when some stories lag on way too much, or they start to suck, anyway NO SWEEPING ALLOWED.




Am I reading this awesome manga right now, is called Full Metal Alchemist and it rocks, is so hilarious. XD The anime is a little different from the manga but both are pretty good, I love the Omakes.

So what WAS the scene?

Full Metal Alchemist is awesome, but Toriyama's World hasn't been updating the HTML links. Sadly, I can't find the bittorent links either. Good bye FMA and HunterXHunter for now.

NOTE: No sweeping but hot passionate SECKS making is allowed?

~Lel-Kun

[Goddess Din]

For these things I need Rosie here...also, how can you be in training? You are already a big slut by yourself.


Cry not Lel, in this page I got all the chapters through volume 7, online.

Though, seriously, what WAS the scene?

~Lel-Kun

[m00se]

Devilman! :twisted:

If only i could find the dvd...

[LeltheHuggles]

Good GOD Kaori Yuki is fricken' awesome.

GD, check out this site. (http://www.sakura-crisis.net/translations/scanlations.html)

ESPECIALLY Ludwig, man... it's just so twisted. It's Kaori Yuki's spin on classic fairy tales.

Blanche (Snow White) is a vain manipulative slut.
Little Red Riding Hood is a manipulated psycho killer.
Idike (Sleeping Beauty) is a lonesome emotional girl in denial.

And to top it off, our main charecter, Prince Ludwig. Twisted, back stabbing, perverted, genius, lonely, and of course, a necrophile (look that up on Dictionary.com if you don't know).

The site also has TON's of her other works though. So far I've only gotten to Ludwig. Compared to Angel Sanctuary... it's like Jerry Springer to Opra.

Ah hahahah the insanity.

~Lel-Kun

[Goddess Din]

Lel, don't understimate me, I already knew of Sakura-crisis. XD


And yeah, is an awesome site to fund Kaori Yuki's work, too bad they dropped Angel Sanctuary...I haven't read Ludwig yet (since is not completed) but have you checked Count Cain?! Is awesome! I'll check Ludwig and you check Count Cain since both seem amazing.

[LeltheHuggles]

You know, Angel Sanctuary is liscened.

I haven't gotten to Count Caine yet, I only had time to check out the small things...

(Figures you'd already know about Sakura Crisis, it has yaoi...)

~Lel-Kun

[Guest_TheMooseQueen]

eerie queerie

[PrincessCordelia]

I really don't have a specific manga that is my favorite, but my fave manga-ka group is of course, CLAMP! My fav. work of their's is xxxHOLiC. Watanuki-kun is soooooo overemotional (he's like a woman, I swear), and Yuko is just hilarious, not to mention the black Mokona too. I just love this manga...squee.

[Goddess Din]

You know, Angel Sanctuary is liscened.

(Figures you'd already know about Sakura Crisis, it has yaoi...)

~Lel-Kun
But they dropped the project before it was even licensed, and is not 100% yaoi, it has more shounen-ai and...okay, yaoi doujinshis, but I don't read those. XD

Kaori Yuki is amazing, I have yet to find a CONVENTIONAL relationship in her mangas, but I like how she portrays all those things.



I love Clamp too, definitly the best mangakas out there, XXXholic is quite good (and creepy at times) but is cute, although I like Tsubasa more.

[Dragon_Knight_Rinku]

Definetly InuYasha and Dragon Knights.

*kicks DinDin*

WHAT. WAS. THAT. SCENE!?!?!

~Lel-Kun

[Goddess Din]

The scene that you made up for a lame excuse and that never happened and never will happen? Oh yeah, THAT scene! :rolleyes:




I picked up a new manga! Now I am reading Saiyuki, is awesome! XD

[LeltheHuggles]

*kick kick*

TELL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~

Saiyuki? Plotless, 2-D charecters, no story, lame plot holes and bishonens? Seems up your alley.

~Lel-Kun

[Goddess Din]

Well, see this:


Okay, is based in an old chinese-legend that an incredible amount of other animes have taken base of (among them Dragon Ball, but that is no monkey king anymore!!), but it gives an interesting twist to the story that I love; is not plotless!! You have to keep reading to see the real story behind the story, is one of those mangas that get better when they advance; 2-D characters? What does that mean? If you mean that they have no personality you have to keep reading again until Saiyuki Gaiden, because they have more thing behind them than they show (one of the stories of these characters is truly breath-taking, geez) and more is to tell; lame plot holes? see again one of my points; bishonens? Okay, is bishonens traveling together, that for some reason sometimes they don't mind being shirtless with each other O_O;, but then again you are no one to speak, you also like bishoujos!!; and even if the plot nor characters can't be compared to other artists like Kaori Yuki or Clamp, or Yuu Watase is still pretty darn good, and hilarious! I love it how they are always trying to kill each other. XD

Besides all my long rant, after reading and seeing too many deppressing-with-excellent plot anime and mangas (example: X, Tokyo Babylon, Full Metal Alchemist (at episdoe 25 it gets very deppressing) Kaine, Angel Sanctuary and more) you really feel like reading a less-deppressening manga, although it still has its angst-parts.


So there, but if you have a good manga to read please pm with the link of where to get it.

[LeltheHuggles]

Well, see this:


Okay, is based in an old chinese-legend that an incredible amount of other animes have taken base of (among them Dragon Ball, but that is no monkey king anymore!!), but it gives an interesting twist to the story that I love; is not plotless!! You have to keep reading to see the real story behind the story, is one of those mangas that get better when they advance; 2-D characters? What does that mean?

Oh come on, admit it, Saiyuki is JUST an excuse to put a bunch of bishonens together.

Neither are you! What the hell are you reading...O_O;



AND NO! I will never admit it! EVER! Specially after reading Saiyuki Gaiden, and all that stuff about their past and all...and it has some pretty cool references to chinese mythology that I didn't knew about, and there have been lamer attempts to put pretty people together!! See Love Hina (for bishoujos) and Fushigi Yugi (for bishounens)! Okay, I have read and loved both series but come on! Those two are both truly lame attempts to put bishoujos and bishounens together with their tiring love-polygons, but Saiyuki is nothing like that! Have you ever bothered to read it at least?

[LeltheHuggles]

Tenjo Tenge, a truly awesome manga that is now sadly liscened and will carry a rating of 18+.

(Yeah it has sex but it's not hentai. I mean, Yuu Watase just likes to shove sex into everything).

"Have you ever bothered to read it at least?"

No, I value my braincells.

~Lel-Kun
Tenjo Tenge....what is it about? Although perhaps if is that sex-like....ack, but Yuu Watase is not all about sex, in Imadoki there wasn't a single scene like that, nor in Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden as far as I know.



Gah, I love Saiyuki, so what? Bishonens is a plus, I think you really should read it, but then again...it has very few bishoujos. XD

[LeltheHuggles]

Tenjo Tenge... uhm... it doesn't really have much of a coherent plot at first. Essentialy it's a shounen manga about fighting and boobs. Both are equally important. The art (by Oh! Great) is absolutely amazing. But it grows and becomes... well, better. Like a lot of mangas it get's better as you read along. New and interesting charecters come along, several things are explained, several mysteries crop up, the charecters grow, etc.

And on your reply about Yuu Watase... well, that's what, two mangas? All her other mangas have like what, at least two to three sex scenes?

Well I might pick up Saiyuki, just haven't heard very good things about it. Truthfully, I'm tired of mangas that are just excuses for bishonens (same with bishojous, though Love Hina had comedy so it's a plus in my book).

~Lel-Kun

[Goddess Din]

Tenjou Tenge....ack, I am not too much into boobs and shounen manga....it it at least funny? Does it has some humor scenes?


And Imadoki was 5 mangas long and with zero sex scenes, and Yuu Watase's manga are supposed to be for older girls so she put those scenes in my oppinion to reafirmate her point about it (probably), I think she says so in one of her freetalks.

I admit that I also liked Love Hina, but is all about the fan-service, by the way, this is where I got the manga of Saiyuki, is all online-reading so you don't have to spend the memory of your cp:

http://www.msnusers.com/MangaForce/syrvolume1.msnw

[LeltheHuggles]

Yeah, lot's of humor (little winky jokes...haha). It's a typical Shounen manga but IMO it's pretty awesome and can be read by girls.

Well I was just pointing out that non-shounen mangas can have sex too. It doesn't bother me, depending on how it's portrayed (ones in Tenjo Tenge are mostly fanservice... and oh boy, trust me, it makes Love Hina look extremely mild in comparison. Althrough some are important to the story).

The fan service in Love Hina BUGGED me. I didn't really care much for it, I rather prefered the humor part (though the two were usually linked).

And, I suppose I'll check it out... some day, or something. I've still got ~48 episodes of anime to watch.

~Lel-Kun

[Goddess Din]

Okay, after reading some summaries Tenjou Tenge has catched my manga-lover eye, did you read it by scans or you bought it? If you got the manga by scans, please post the link...but if you bought it I'll just wait until I bump with it on some site.


I agree, there is way too much fanservice in Love Hina (and Tengou Tenje is worst in that aspect?! O_O;), after the 100000th bath scene Naru should have gotten accostumed to it, instead of getting angry she should just have let Keitaro stay, after all is nothing new for him anymore....though is amusing see Keitarou get knocked to the air, that dude is inmortal.

[Golden_Zelda]

I bought the first part of love hina yesterday. its very funny. It's my FIRST manga ever! I have realised that manga is fast, powerful and... :unsure: good!

[Kaden]

We have another manga lover! ^_^ Congradulations! *shakes her hand and gives her more manga to read*

I finished reading Marmalade Boy, and, OMG, it was AWESOME!!! :D Everyone should go out and read it, sure, it was only 8 books long, but it was soooooo kewl! After I buy the 8th book, I'll have the whole set! (Grr, the 8th book is always gone from the library, though, I managed to get my hands on it ONCE and only once!)

[PrincessCordelia]

I love xXxHOLiC by CLAMP. Course, I have otaku friends, so I've read a ton of manga. I've read a good part of Love Hina (Kitsune rules!), and I've got about 1/2 of Chobits (needing to buy 2-5 yet, but I've read the whole series.) I also liked Tsubasa by CLAMP. I guess you could say that i'm a little CLAMP otaku...hee.

[Golden_Zelda]

We have another manga lover! ^_^ Congradulations! *shakes her hand and gives her more manga to read*

thanks! *takes the manga and starts to read*
*laughs* (at the manga) B)

[Kaden]

Also, I have begun reading Fruits Basket! ^_^ It's so cute and awesome! (Many thanks to the person who is lending it to me from another person, lol) All of you should go out and read Fruits Basket too. :P

CLAMP rocks! (Even though I've only seen CCS by them.) :D

[Golden_Zelda]

does anyone know any shôjo manga?

[Syber]

Love Hina. I was crying when dread to think the Manga ends at one point. If it's a neverending book. I'll happily read it when I'm dead.. Or when I have the time to.

[Goddess Din]

Fruits Basket!!! That is what I call a "smart-shoujo", is hilarious, cute, sad, dramatic and exciting at the same time, is a shoujo masterpiece, I really really love it, though is quite long, 18 volumes long and going! :blink:


But Hana Yori Dango is wow....a shoujo of its own, it redefines the whole concept of "heroine" in my oppinion, is so powerful though you'll never see a drop of irrealism or magic in there, is all common problems and such in high-class High-school, but is excellent, but is even longer than Fruits Baskets since is 36 volumes long, but it has ended already.

[Golden_Zelda]

so love hina is a shoujo manga? cool! and fruits baskets... thanks! and hana yori dango... *takes notes*

[PrincessCordelia]

It makes me so proud that people are helping others in the world of manga.* :D

I personally love all of CLAMP's work, my current fav. right now is xxxHOLiC and Tsubasa

[Golden_Zelda]

I wanna live in Japan! We have like 5 mangas here in sweden...

[Kaden]

*nods* -_- A common lament, GZ. I think we ALL want to be in Japan! :P

*wants to be in Japan very badly*

18 volumes and going?! ^_^ Awesome, I've only read the first 4, so I have a lot to look forward to! *dances around happily* Yay for Furuba*! (*Fruits Basket)

Also, Oh! My Goddess is very good manga, you should all read that too! XD You all have a lot of reading to do! :lol:

[Goddess Din]

I love Clamp too! Aren't they awesome? I have read XXXholic too and is pretty good, and I love the art, is styiling-shounen, though my favorite manga of theirs is X.


Yup, we all want to live in Japan...ack! So cheap.


I love Furuba too (yay for YukiXThoru pairings!!) is hilarious, and I love Ayame, he is the funniest narcissist ever! XD And how long is Oh My Goddess? I have been buying the manga but it never seems to end...

[Kaden]

:lol: Yeah, Oh! My Goddess is pretty long. I think I've read up to #17 or 18, and I know that there's more still out there!

In my circle of friends, we're all Anime/manga lovers, so if one of us gets something, we pass it around the group to everyone. :D Like, I just got an Anime magazine (Anime Insider) and I'm currently passing it around to everyone. Hey, when there aren't many of you, you have to share the wealth! XD

[Goddess Din]

You read that magazine, me too! Ain't it cool? I love the funny notes they put in the bottom of every article, and the captions. XD


The only thing I don't like is the "Oh-so-almighty-Evangelin-praising", seriously, they praise it every magazine and it drives me sick since Evangelion is sooo overrated.


I know is pretty long, but has it ever finished? Because I seriously getting tired of it.

[Keropium]

How much do mangas cost in Mexico?
I like Tsubasa, xxxHolic, CCS, Love Hina, Flame of Recca, Ranma 1/2...

[Goddess Din]

It depends.


If you want to get the "tankoubon" (sp?) format, that is like that original-japanese one, you know, with the same size, reading right-to-left, that is the higher quality of all with even the original paper and the neat extras. XD


It costs $42 pesos, that is about 4 dollars. That is the most expensive mexican-manga you will find here. Though sometimes we get Spain's mangas here in Conventions and all that will be around $85 pesos (around 8 dollars).

And the cheapest ones are the ones in magazine that has only about 1, or 2 chapters that is only $15 (1.5 dollars) or you can buy the half-manga, that is the same as the "tankoubon" format, with the same format and quality but is half-the price...but half the manga. XD

I like the first format the most, thank god more and more mangas are coming like that.

Recently I have picked-up to read entirely Ranma 1/2, lol, is so nuts and very long, 36 mangas?!

[Keropium]

Holy.
Crap.

Mangas are like $9-$15 where I live.


Only 36?
I thought there were more than that...

[Golden_Zelda]

Ranma ½ is printed the wrong way, right? In sweden it is. It is just like a "west book"... like the lord of the rings... :unsure:

[Nightmare]

I like Love Hina and Chobits as well as, Real bout high school, Naruto, and alot more but Im to lazy to name em.

[Kaden]

Holy.
Crap.

Mangas are like $9-$15 where I live.


Same here, Kero. -_- The manga I buy is usually about $10 a book, but Oh! My Goddess is usually up in the $15 or more range. I haven't bought any Oh! My Goddess myself, I just borrow it from the library and my friends. If each of my manga books were $10, and I had bought them all with my own money (I got quite a few as gifts), I would've spent $90 on manga so far!* :blink:

You are soooo lucky, GD! $4 is the most expensive for a book by you!* :o

Btw, I have read the first 2 books of Chobits, and it was rather perverted, but kinda cute, I guess. ^^;

I'm also reading Comic Party (borrowing from a friend), and it's okay, but very confusing.

I only read the first Ranma 1/2 book. It was funny, lol.* :P

And I'm borrowing my Marmalade Boy collection to a friend right now too. :P This is, like, the 5th person!

[Golden_Zelda]

I bought dragonball z part one for $1 in a swedish bookstore.....
B)

Yes, hate me hate me. :twisted:

But it does't matter if you can read the manga or not, you can always print the translations from internet (that's what my sister and I did when we bought the X series in german, we didn't understand a thing but we got the translations), though it might be a tad tiring to read like that....but better than buying the expensive, non-cheap USA manga. XD

[Golden_Zelda]

Wow 1$!! Do u read sweddish?

I am from Sweden...

[Davin_Nightwind]

Um...I've only read one, Rebirth, so I guess that would be my favorite. Could anyone recomend others like Rebirth?

[Carnivouris]

- Megatokyo
- .hack//DUSK
- Cardcaptor Sakura
- Pita-Ten
- Beyblade

I recommend these 5. :3

[Goddess Din]

...isn't .hack//DUSK an anime?


Or does it has a manga? I saw one with similiar drawings that was ".hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet" but I am not sure.

[Carnivouris]

...isn't .hack//DUSK an anime?


Or does it has a manga? I saw one with similiar drawings that was ".hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet" but I am not sure.


.hack//DUSK and .hack//LEGEND are the exact same thing, just with different names.

When you think about it, it doesn't really matter anyway. ^_^

[Goddess Din]

You are right, XD, I checked and it is the same thing! Is the manga so good as the anime or is it better? Because I looove the artist drawing and it might be worth of buying the manga.


Also, do you happen to know which is the manga that comes the story of how Balmung and Orka became famous?

[Carnivouris]

You are right, XD, I checked and it is the same thing! Is the manga so good as the anime or is it better? Because I looove the artist drawing and it might be worth of buying the manga.

1. The anime is just as good as the manga. The manga has parts the anime doesn't have though, and vice versa.

2. I have no clue. XD

[Goddess Din]

Might be worth of buying then, I just have to look for the translations and I'll be happy.


Is just that I loved the anime too much, though it didn't had the deepness or darkness of the previous .hack sagas it was still awesome in its own cute-way, and Shugo is a perv. XD



And from which anime is the character in your avatar? Looks cool.

[LosingEternalLife]

*gasps* Bersek can't stomp X you fool!!! :grumpy:

[LosingEternalLife]

X is long, stupid, drawn out, does nothing, and is just pretty pictures.

I've up to to... hmm... eight, nine volumes? And things have BARELY started to happen. Everything before that was just nothing. They could have cut down the first six volumes into to or three and moved the story along quicker.

Berserk at least keeps you fairly interested until WHAM, The Godhand appear and things get orgasmic.

~LosingEternalLife

[Golden_Zelda]

this place should be called Anime/Manga... not just Anime.
I know this has got nothing to do with this topic but... :unsure:
sorry! ^_^

[Kaden]

Eh, Anime, manga, video games... all three fall into the same general catagory, right?

Okay, yes, I know, they don't always go together, but they often do, am I right?

Anyways, I get to read manga every day now! ^_^ By going to my school's library during lunch (after I have eaten, of course), I can read manga while I sit there! It's so fun, but I'm starting to run out of reading materials there! The horror! :o

Lol, but it's great! And if I don't finish, I can just check it out! :D Great system, no?

Yay for Marmalade Boy! :) I was thinking about writing a letter to Wataru Yoshizumi, the manga-ka of MB, telling her how much I enjoyed the series. But, I'm worried that she wouldn't be able to read it! ^^; What should I do?

Btw, my friends keeps telling me to read a series called "Mars". Can someone tell me a little bit about it, so I can decide if I should try it or not? :huh:

[Golden_Zelda]

you should write to Wataru Yoshizumi! tell me she writes you back! :) Even if you don't I'm sure she wants your letter! write it in japanese! :lol:

[Goddess Din]

X is long, stupid, drawn out, does nothing, and is just pretty pictures.

I've up to to... hmm... eight, nine volumes?* And things have BARELY started to happen.* Everything before that was just nothing.* They could have cut down the first six volumes into to or three and moved the story along quicker.

Berserk at least keeps you fairly interested until WHAM, The Godhand appear and things get orgasmic.

~LosingEternalLife



Aw, I am disappointed....I thought you were a bit more, well, like me in that aspect, such as you don't expect a manga to be goric all the time to be exciting, X does begin a bit slow but it is only building up to grow into a much stronger, interesting plot in the following volumes and an unexpected plot. (Am the only one who enjoys slow stories? XD). Ah what the hell, is an oppinion, still X will be my favorite manga ever.


Anyway, if I am right, Mars is mainly a love story, is about a girl who is the top student of her class, nice and goody-two-shoes at times, but then there is this guy who is totally the opposite, bad, ganster, mean and scum. I am not sure about this but I think that they start falling in love and it has something to do with greek mythology? I read a summary some time ago but my memory is kind of fuzzy, but it sounds good.

[Kaden]

you should write to Wataru Yoshizumi! tell me she writes you back! :) Even if you don't I'm sure she wants your letter! write it in japanese! :lol:

I may be bashing X but that doesn't mean it's bad.

=P

It's just, well, they're building up TOO MUCH.

I'm just kind of sitting there going "When is something going to happen... come on, they've hinted and such and such, why don't anything happen so far?"

Beserk keeps you amused with personal tales until suddenly BAM, an orgasmic arc sets in and you're completely entranced. It goes from good to ****ing great.

But all those hints, premonitions and dreams of Kotori dying builded for a perfectly moment of angst and sorrow in which Kotori dies, man it was awesome. XD What a great chapter.


I just finished reading the entire series of Ranma 1/2, damn, too long and too insane.

The manga is usually better than the anime.

That's why you watch Love Hina first, then read it.

Yeah I agree, in most of the cases the manga is better than the anime.


But Gravitation was an exception....damn, the anime was so much better in my oppinion.

That's what happened to me... ><

[Golden_Zelda]

that's what always happens to me!... :looove:

[Kaden]

I'm off to go play FFVII for the first time EVER (finally!!!).


Congrats! ^_^ Have fun! (I'm borrowing it from a friend and playing it for the first time too, though not right now.)

In my circle of friends (Anime friends), I recently got to read a new manga, or at least, new to me. I can't remember the exact title, but I think it was something like "Negumi" or "Nemagi". ^^; *wishes she could remember* If someone could help me out with the title...? :unsure:

Anyways, it was really cute! :) Rather perverted at times, but still cute! If you haven't read it, go do so! (After we find out the real title.) It's about a 10 year old magician who has to go teach an English class at an all-girls middle school. XD Hilarity ensues from day 1 onward.

[vgamer1]

Right now I like GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka... I think).

[t.z0n3]

my favorite manga would have to be Naruto! :ph34r:

[Goddess Din]

Sounds familiar...I'll find the name later and see if it matches the one I am thinking.



Right now I have the 9 volumes of Evangelion...I know that the series is an hiatus for some reason or the other, but does someone knows why or when will the author publish more?

[ShadowLink]

my favourite is Rave master

[Kaden]

Wow, I am buying the manga of Rurouni Kenshin and damn, it is indeed a lot better than the anime.


Really? I've never seen the Anime, but I've heard a lot of good things about it. Speaking of which, I just read the first volume of RK today. It was pretty good, but sort of confusing. ^^; Especially with all the battles, but the most confusing part was all the names and termonolgy. That was pretty hard to follow. But other than that, it was pretty good! ^_^

I also read the 5th Fruits Basket, and I REALLY want to read the 6th! O_o Must... have... Furuba...

That's the only problem with getting manga from someone else. ^^; Waiting. And waiting... and waiting...

It is better!! The bad thing about Rurouni Kenshin is after the most awesome arc of the anime it is followed by pointless and bad episodes, it was a perfect anime at that point, then it was ruined...it also has many filler episodes that to be honest, are bad, AND THE END DOESN'T COME IN THE ANIME. So is mandatory that if you liked the anime, buy the manga if you don't want to suffer.

[Kaden]

I got the first two Inu-yasha books for Christmas! ^_^ They're really good! (Of course, I read the first book already, but whatever. It's still cool!)

Is it just me, or does Sesshomaru look a LOT younger in the manga than in the Anime? :huh: It surprised me, how young he looked. Maybe it was just because he looked taller in the Anime or something.

I'm still waiting to get the 8th Marmalade Boy, darn it! :grumpy: My mom and I are going shopping on Thursday, so hopefully I'll be able to get it then.

[Goddess Din]

Younger? How weird....anyway, I love Inuyasha's art, though is really simple and all is still pretty cute, isn't it? I love it. =D


OMG, I got volume 5 of Shaman King...I don't know what's sicker, the way in which Fausto healed his knee or the fact that they didn't showed it at the anime. O__o;

[Nobody]

I wanna see a scan.

(of how he healed his knee, not Inuyasha)

[ZC]

My friends forced me into reading InuYasha.

Now I love it. :looove:

[ch4ot1c]

IVe never read it...seems kinda deemo ta mez :blink:

[Kaden]

My friends forced me into reading InuYasha.

Now I love it. :looove:


You should thank your friend! XD


Younger? How weird....anyway, I love Inuyasha's art, though is really simple and all is still pretty cute, isn't it? I love it. =D


Yeah, I love it too! ^_^ I can't wait to get more of it!

But I STILL don't have the 8th Marmalade Boy! :angry: Must... get...

Also, I bought my friend the first volume of Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances) for Christmas, and then she let me read it... OMG, it was sooooooooooo good! ^_^

The only problem... ;_; Why didn't I buy more of the series?! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Anyways, I got my other friend the 3rd volume of .hack//DUSK for Christmas, and it was the first manga book she's ever gotten (as in, to own), so she was really, really happy. :D

I'm done blathering for now. :P

[forces_of_light]

I just got xxxHOLiC 3 and X/1999 1 & 2, and all I have to say is this: CLAMP kicks ass.

[Kaden]

CLAMP kicks ass.


Amen, fol! AMEN! :D

I want to read more of CLAMP's works! :constipated:

Oh, and I have now read Kodocha: Sana's Stage, which was pretty good, and the first two books of Tokyo Mew Mew, which I thought was very good! ^_^ Yay!

Has anybody here read Saiyuki? A couple of my friends are, like, obsessed with it, and I don't really like it that much myself... :unsure:

Too mature for me, I guess. :P

[ZC]

My friends forced me into reading InuYasha.

Now I love it. :looove:


You should thank your friend! XD

I did. XD

I just got InuYasha Volume 7. Good stuff. :D

[Sage_of_Insanity]

Does anyone besides me read Tsubasa? :huh:

[Lel]

Yes.

But I, on the other hand, can safely vouch that no one here has read half the manga I have?

Anyone care to discuss Houshin Engi with me? Or perhaps MaiHime? Yatsubato! anyone? Talk about Lucu Lucu? Rocket Princess? Watashi no Okami-san someone? How about Ludwig? Gakuen Heaven? Tenjo Tenge? Chaosic Rune?

Etc.

~Lel-Kun

[Sage_of_Insanity]

..True. Tsubasa is awesome though. Volume 4 was so hilarious....

[garufuck666]

flcl owns and should be in obliberation of its prominent ****in consumers

[Kid57]

I just picked up Hyper Police. Wow....Is all I can say.

Funny, yes. Furries, yes. Perverted? Yes. But now I am an addict. And it's hard for me to get addicted to a manga. Especially one so......perverted. But it's funny scale makes up for it.

[Darkmoonchild]

I like Love Hina and Shonan Jump

[ch4ot1c]

im guessing u mean Shonen Jump as a whole, seeing as its a collection of different mangaz

[Darkmoonchild]

YEs as a whole. I like all of the things in there but wouldnt get them sepretly...BEsides DBZ

[ch4ot1c]

ah i see...i buy the seperate version of One Piece in japanese...good times

[Kid57]

.........Shonen Jump.....Bad....... :angry:

Tokyopop good :D

[ch4ot1c]

some of Shonen Jump is good, its just more for a younger audience

[DrifterLink]

I dont really get manga. isn't it the same as anime?

[Lel]

It's better 90% of the time.

~Lel-Kun

[RuTo93*]

tokyo mew mew, salior moon and ruroni kenshin, dont ask why but i like all anime. those are just the first ones i heard of that is why i like them.

[ch4ot1c]

I dont really get manga. isn't it the same as anime?


Anime dissapoints 50% of the time.

[Sage_of_Insanity]

Also, manga doesn't have dubs. Anime does.

[Fae]

Cardcaptor Sakura. and Tsubasa
and all of CLAMPS works.

CCS is Beautifully drawn and is SO sweet
Tsubasa, hell the main Character is Syaoran who is my favourite anime character ever so it wins hands down. The story is sweet and passionate, not to mention it includes most of CLAMPS great characters! :)

[Sage_of_Insanity]

Tsubasa? YOU READ TSUBASA?!

You get an applaud every time I see you.

[Lel]

Also, manga doesn't have dubs. Anime does.


Worst. Reason. Ever.

Fae>>>I *love* your avatar/signature, do you have a larger version?

~Lel-Kun

[Fae]

sage of insanity, yes I read Tsubasa. I knew it was on its way before it was published and always get the upcoming books as they come out! XD I am obsessed with it actually

and Lel I do have a larger image of my sig and avatar somewhere. B)
and to answer pervious questions

MANGA: literaly translates as 'COMIC' in Japanese. It is the usually balck and white comic form (comes in books) that are written by 'manga-ka'. These stories are then usually turned into Anime.

ANIME: the animated version. the stuff you actually see moving on the screen. Anime nearly always comes AFTER the manga.

[Lel]

and Lel I do have a larger image of my sig and avatar somewhere.* B)



Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!?

And yes, 90% of Anime comes from manga. Though the new trend seems to be making spinoffs from CG games.

~Lel-Kun

[ShinjiKun]

Well, my ex-favorite manga, Evangelion, balances itself with the anime in an intresting way, it would take me hours to explain.


But now Love Hina has roared back into my life, and its my new obsession.

Love hina is the best example of Manga being better than anime, the anime ends with Keitaro and Naru finally getting together, while the Manga ends on their wedding day, which by the way, its about 5 extra volumes to the story

[ZC]

Thanks to my school library's large collection of Manga, I can now say I like reading YuYu Hakusho, One Piece, Oh My Goddess!, and even more InuYasha. ^_^

[Dragon_king]

man yuyu hakashoe is good!

[Kaden]

Thanks to my school library's large collection of Manga, I can now say I like reading YuYu Hakusho, One Piece, Oh My Goddess!, and even more InuYasha. ^_^


I ENVY YOUR AWESOME LIBRARY. :grumpy:

I mean, my school library also has manga, but it doesn't have all that cool stuff! Of that list, it only has Oh! My Goddess. It also has a little Astro Boy (why?!), some weird elf series, I think, and some others that I can't remember. I wish mine had One Piece and YYH and Inu-yasha!

Anyways, I was supposed to get the 8th Marmalade Boy book to FINALLY complete my series on Monday, but it wasn't in the bookstore yet! I have to wait until Wednesday now! -_- *sigh*

I read this new series recently called "Gatekeepers"; it was actually pretty good! But the library only has one volume of it. ;_;

I still have to finish reading Saiyuki vol. 4 and 5 so I can give it back to my friend... ^^; Heh.

Anyways, what has everyone else been into lately?

[Darkmoonchild]

Im not a big Manga/Anime fan.

(My firends are obsessed with Hentai :ph34r:)

[Kaden]

You have naughty friends! >.>

:P j/k

You must get into the wonderous realm of Anime and manga... it will bring you joy beyond your wildest dreams...! ^_^

Or your money back!

[Darkmoonchild]

I watch a few. Where I am anything animated is *kiddy* Its annoying :looove:

Only Oh! My Goddes?

And you wish it had Inuyasha?

Wtf?

~Lel-Kun

[Shadow_Knight]

Fist of the north star , Ninja scroll , Urotsukidoji Saga and Akira probably
those are the only ones i've seen :P

[Lel]

Urotsukidoji Saga

Perv.

~Lel-Kun


Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. ^^; Oh! My Goddess is an awesome series, and I know it, but, well, there's only so many times you can read the same couple books! :unsure:

I"m going to stop talking before Lel gets angry. :ph34r:

... :mellow:

Acutally, I just wanted to add one more thing. :P I finally bought Marmalade Boy #8! I'm so happy; I have the whole series! It's my first full manga series! ^_^ Also, I bought the first volume of Naruto! Just because I started reading it in the store, liked it, and wanted to finish reading it! Yay! :D I love impulse shopping! XD

[Lel]

Ah! My Goddess is a vast and epic manga that has been going on for 15+ years and spans 27 volumes. It kicks ass.

~Lel-Kun

[Kaden]

Ah! My Goddess is a vast and epic manga that has been going on for 15+ years and spans 27 volumes.* It kicks ass.

~Lel-Kun


^_^ I completely agree.

[Eternal_Boredoom]

As manga is something that I simply can't buy around here I simply read Scanlations.

Currently into:

1. Yakitate! Japan (The best thing since sliced bread... yeah.)
2. Naruto
3. Houshin Engi

I would Add more, but It's hard to read thousands of volumes with only 3 free hours a day... But I will expand that list... BWAHAHAHAHA!

[Lel]

Props for actually mentioning Yakitake! Japan and Houshin Engi, which I'm sure no one else here has even heard about...

...but you listed Houshin Engi below Naruto...

~Lel-Kun

[wind]

ya i would have to say that inuyasha and flcl are my favorites http://images.amazon.com/images/P/159182396X.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

[Eternal_Boredoom]

Well, it's not like Houshin Engi is bad or anything. it is awesome. Yet, the later chapters of Naruto got me more interested than Houshin ones...

But Yakitate rules every thing... twice. And they just released more chapters, which is doubly cool! :):):)

[Lel]

I'm in the ending stretch of Houshin Engi so I'll wait and see what the ending is...

...but Naruto is just generic Shounen.

HE is in a class of it's own.

So is Yakitake! Japan, though, the appeal may wear off soon (how many bread tournaments can there be?).

~Lel-Kun

[Redfield]

Mahou Sensei Negima,and Love Hina.Tis a Tie ^_^

[Drakhonus]

My favorite Manga would have to be a cross of Shaman King, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, and One Piece.

[youngyounglink]

well, mine has 2 be one piece. oh! and soopid yugis anime is crud!

[youngyounglink]

opps! dis should be in anime! im so sorry!

[Dragonsy42]

Love Hina, I guess...

:shift: :teehee:

[Sango160]

My favorite manga is my favorite anime, InuYasha.

[darklink069]

inyuyasha is getting old its all about that full metal alchemist

[Goddess Din]

Today it just scared me how freakin' long is Hajime no Ippo....


Over 58 mangas!!! And the thing gets a freakin' high score.
