manga recommendations doesn't matter if it's scanlated, licensed as long as it's good! or maybe a new series is being scanlated, tell us :D

i recommend... kare kano

if you've seen the whole ep1-26 anime series then i guess you're better off starting at volume 9, i've seen vol 1-8 and what you saw in the anime is pretty much the same as the manga

I wish I could get KAre Kano Manga .... I wonder what happens after the festival .......

My recommendation is GHOST IN THE SHELL .... and HELLSING ... both mangas are different than their respective anime shows

Thumbs Up on the Hellsing

I would like to recommend "Yongbi the Invincible"

Great book, but be warned you will get Beef-eating and Liquor-drinking horse

My hero Bi-Yong

Tsubasa

Besides Negima, get School Rumble. If you love comedy, romance, and action, this is your bag.

I highly reccomend XXXHolic. I'm reading it now and have been thorouhgly enjoying it.

Has anyone else notcied that for such as mediocre manga, the covers for AI Love You are AWESOME!!

Here's a couple of my recommendations. I try to keep a theme of bein' Korean manga brought out by Tokyopop.

Snow Drop: So-Na is the mayor's only daughter. She enters high school, trying to make a new beginning; however, her crush on moody Hae-Gi could send her to a steamy relationship or a troublesome squabble. Perhaps, she can be with him without releasing the demons of the past.

Neck and Neck: Dabin is the daughter of Seoul's most powerful crime boss. As she transfer's out of her high school into her crush's/father's best teenage bussinessman, she finds herself in the same class with the son of a rival gang! Can Dabin find love without turning the school into a turf war?

Love or Money: Yenni is person in the school where you can ask for a loan. However, she has a strict interest payment system along with a low tolerance when she isn't paid back. When her rich grandmother dies, Yenni has a chance to earn 14 million bucks. However, everything in life isn't always free. Yenni must stop her money hungry ways and marry a man her grandmother already picked out. Yenni struggles to revert from seeing green to seeing pink or else she won't see a single penny.

I just finished readin' volume 4 and the more I read, the more I get in tuned with spirituality. CLAMP shows a lot of originality in story tellin', especially in the short chapters like chapters 21, 25 and 26. The Monkey Paw chapters makes a really good campfire story.

I agree wiith Snow Drop and xxxHolic.

If you're a CLAMP fan, I highly recommend Legal Drug and Suki... Both are awesome.

Also, the two art books have been released! I saw North Side and South Side at Borders the other day!

If we're talking about CLAMP we have to talk about Tokyo Babylon and X, their penultimate work. The whole relationship between Subaru and Seishero is wonderful. If you've read X first and then read Tokyo Babylon like i have it's rather creepy how Subaru and Seishero treat each other. Anyways even Kamui is a cool character, I mean both Fuma/Kamui is a wonderful character too. I'm jealous of my friend's Kamui plushie!

Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy............wow

These are like.....awesome. The art is amazing and the story is a refreshing take on the Warcraft story. If your a Warcraft fan then I highly recommend this manga.

Manga Recomm ??????
HELLSING

Hmm there are several which come directly to my mind

Bleach - typical shounen fighting manga but for once the hero is really cool

Gantz - well only for those with a stomach for blood, it's cool stuff but somewhat crazy, wait a minute somewhat? the protagonist acts as if he were on drugs

Beck - best music manga ever. what, you don't think there can be cool music manga? believe me you are wrong

berserk of course look at my nick as if I would not recommend this one

gunnm - the uncrowned king of cyberpunk

GTO - the manga is even better than the anime and that was really good except for the damn english syncro which I had to endure from the 20th episode onwards

My last tip Tsukuyomi Moon Phase I don't know right what is better anime or manga but I really like them both, I don't even know why I like them I just do

Does anyone know if the Viz translations of Bleach are any good? or have they been heavily westernised?

Mahoraba ~heartful days~
Ichigo Mashimaro
Maechan Awakens Romance [MAR]

And if you're a fan of Star Ocean Till The End Of Time, you might wanna try the manga too.

:blink: Mahoraba ~heartful days~

Where did you buy it?

Comic Connection. There's four so far, published by Tongli.

The chinese title's ‰ä˜ì“I�å‹«
Since the chinese's sorta screwed-up, here's a picture instead. Don't mind the handwriting.

I looked and there is a book at Sasuga Japanese Bookstore. Alas, it is only book 8, I think.....

Book 8!?!?
[prays it's japanese]
Btw, that place's not in Singapore, right?

No, It's in the US....

:huh: could not see a thing from the site..... hmm.....

Here's the link to that book. I may get that with the Negima fanbook and Negima book 9.....

>.< Kind of hard to find using only the cover page.....Juan, can you give me the rough Chinese to english translation?

Rough translation's kinda hard because I don't know what the heck Tongli did with the title to change it to such a weird word.
Hope hanyin pinyin works though, "wo3 men2 de3 xian1 jing4"
"Wo Men De" = "our", "xian1" = "god/fairy/immortal", jing4 = "boundary"

Here's another pic since the other one's not working

:huh: Okay..... Think I will try seraching all the conic connection store for it...

hell I bought all 16 volumes @ otakon, reading them all (eventhough I watched the anime already) up to vol. 04 so far.

Death Note anyone? I just admire the anti-heroism the main character portrays...

Ai-Ren's also an interesting love story for a Korean mangaka....Try Tidwah Releases..I think they still have some scanalated chapters...

Lookie here, I was just exploring the forums (haven't had a real proper look around yet...) and no one appears to have posted here for a while...surely people haven't run out of recommendations?

I've got a few:

Currently Collecting:
Samurai Deeper Kyo: currently gathering this manga as it slowly, painstakingly, agonizingly comes out from Tokyopop, but the work is good. A good (if a little crazy) story, awesome artwork (probably the best manga artwork I've ever seen!), and really cool characters. This is one I recommend to all samurai fans.

Bleach: Only one person recommended it! It's a lot more than your typical shounen fighting manga, it's got one of the best stories i've read in quite a while, complicated and good enough to send your mind into trips trying to figure it out (but in a good way!) and an excellent mix of action and comedy. Currently it stands hands-down as the best, most authentic manga-to-anime transfer i've seen yet.

FullMetal Alchemist: This one is slow, slow, slow (only released once per month) and I tend to be very delayed in picking it up, but it's good fun, and it's got a very serious and highly engaging story.

From the Vault:
Vandread: it's an oldie and it's pretty simple but i really enjoyed this 'road trip' through space. Nice mix of girl-meets-guy kinda relationship issues, space battles, and comedy. One of the first series to really get the CGI into anime too.

FullMetal Panic: Fumuffo: Funny as hell, and so spastic that it should be considered a danger to national security!

MEH


Gakuen Heaven, Shakugan no Shana, Kasimasi, Ah! My Goddess and Full Metal Panic.

Would any of the AQS staff be interested in To Heart manga?

If yes, I'm sure you'll be able to find more people interested in joining the team to cover some of the extra work.

YOTSUBA&! - Funny, charming, and adorable. It was my favorite new manga of 2005 and it's by the same manga-ka of Azumanga Daioh.

Chrono Crusade - Action-packed, entertaining, and funny with great solid artwork.

Well, we just need the people to do it...like editors. One translator also needs to like it...

I'll de your editarrr

needs more salad days

Wasn't To Heart already translated by some company already o_O

ADV manga already has it-this may be one of the titles, besides Yotsuba&!, that they are continuing to release>_>

ADV is doing Yotsubato? No wonder it's getting release so *&#@ing slowly >.>

Joppy's Recoomendations-
XXXholic
Ai Yori Aoshi(Especially the upcoming books)
Kodocha(for a Shojo manga, this is one deep manga)
Kare Kano(Another deep manga)

Samurai Deeper Kyo- Really good art
Suikoden 3- anything I say would really be a spoiler....

Speaking of which, do you know where I can order Suikoden III manga? In English I mean (if they translated it >.> )
