The Manga Zone, What are you reading?

[Jason Lemur]

What are you reading and what do you think of it?

I will list the books that I have the next time I am on as I need to get ready for work now.

I have a couple of the old Pokemon Mangas.

They are really good compared to the anime.

he whole game makes more sense when you read the manga, as it explains alot that the anime misses out.

I wish I got the whole series, but it doesn't really matter now.

I got the 2nd Generation Eva Manga today.

It is very different to the anime, and focuses more on Shinji and Misato, rather than Rei and Asuka, which the series focuses on.

It is very good, only now I have to buy the rest, which is a huge meaty chunk of my budget.

Overall though, I am glad I got it.

[Jason Lemur]

What are you reading? I notice that I am reading much more manga than watching anime lately.

I just finished the sixth and final book of Magic Knight Rayearth and I want more. It was really good. I never got to see the rest of the second season so this is my first time getting to the end of it. I finally got to find out what Mokona was.

I read the first book of Love Hina and want to check out more soon. They are up to book five now. It is pretty funny so far.

Chobits is one of my current favorites. I have the first two books and am looking forward to the next one. I wish they would hurry up.

I was buying Bastard!! by the issuse until the store in the mall stopped carrying manga. (Assholes!) This is a great series and I will now have to wait for the graphic novels. VIZ charges too much for them. It was cheaper by the issue.

I have the first book of Blade of the Immortal. I was not crazy about it and so have not gotten any more. I may eventually give it another try. Who knows?

I have the first book of Cowboy Bebop. The only reason to buy it is to have a book copy of the anime since it is the same. I am not sure yet if Tokyo Pop plan on releasing books after the third since that is all they list in the books. That seems strange since it will leave out so much.

Ranma 1/2 is still my favorite manga series since there are much better stories that never made to the anime. I only own the first book, but have read a bunch of others.

I just bought the first two books of Ragnarok. I have no clue what it is about yet since I bought it on a whim. That is the good thing about Tokyo Pop putting out all of their manga for $9.99.

[Jason Lemur]

I picked up the third books of both Chobits and Ragnarok. I am a happy camper.

[Jason Lemur]

I just picked up the first book of Island. It is supposed to be a horror series.

I now have to find time to read all of the stuff I have recently bought.

[Jason Lemur]

Island is good so far.

A woman is being stalked by demons for some unknown reason and her only hope of salvation is a serial killer with a penchant for messy murders.

[Jason Lemur]

I just picked up the fourth and fifth books of Island this weekend.

[Jason Lemur]

I picked up book four of Chobits last week and book one of Vampire Princess Miyu.

Chobits is my favorite so far as manga go.

I have not seen any of the anime for it yet.

I have also not seen the anime for Vampire Princess Miyu and have not read my book yet.

[Jason Lemur]

I finished the first book of Vampire Princess Miyu and I was dissapointed.

It must not be directed at a male audiance since I found myself becoming bored less than halfway through. I just finished to say that I did.

I will not be picking up further issues as there are many more worthwhile books to read.

[Jason Lemur]

Ipicked up the sixth book of Island last week thinking that it was the last book coming out. There is still a seventh one that is yet to be released.

It is a really good series and well worth picking up.

[Jason Lemur]

The seventh book of Island just came out, but I did not have the money to pick it up yet.

That is because I picked up the fifth book of Chobits instead.

I have yet to read it, though. I am definitely going to love it since it has been a fantasic series so far.

The next dvd of the anime does not come out until May and that is just too damn long to wait.

I want more Chobits!

[Jason Lemur]

I got the sixth book of Chobits and it is a good thing.

[Jason Lemur]

I just picked up the 7th book of Chobits, but I still have to find the time to read it.

[Jason Lemur]

Alright, here is the rundown of what I currently have in my collection.

Berserk I have the first two volumes and am already addicted to it. I am definitely looking forward to getting more as I never got to see more than the beginning of the anime series.

Chobits I have the entire series and it is my current favorite.

Cowboy Bebop I only have the first volume of the original books they put out and was dissapointed to learn it contained nothing new.

Island This is a great horror series, though I have yet to pick up the seventh and final volume. I keep buying new stuff and forgetting.

Magic Knight Rayearth This is a wonderful fantasy series which I have all of and highly recommend.

Nadesico I just picked up the first volume and so have not read it yet. I loved the anime, though so look forward to it.

Neon Genesis Evangelion I have the first volume and just have not found the rest of the series yet. I may have to have the store order it for me so that I can finish it.

Petshop of Horrors This is another series that I picked up the first volume of today and have yet to read.

Ragnarok I have the first three volumes and enjoyed them, but am not sure if it will remain on my must have list yet. There are better fantasy titles available.

Ranma 1/2 is one of the funniest series that I know of and the manga may be even better than the anime. I do not know why I only have the first volume, but it may be because I picked it up before they reprinted it at the lower $9.99 price that I have now become accustomed to.

Rurouni Kenshin I love the anime and so picked up the first three volumes of the manga as soon as I found them. I have yet to read them, though as I have not had the time. I am off from work next week and so will have lots to read. I am expecting a lot from this series and hope not to be dissapointed.

TheVision of Escaflowne Another wonderful anime that I am expecting a lot from in manga form. I just picked the first volume up today along with the other series I have begun.

That is all for now, but I am positive I will have more series to add in the future.
