Manga?

Anyone want to rec me a good manga? Stuff with scanlations available is good, preferably finished but ongoing is okay too. I like slashable series, action, and sometimes the cute fluffy romance series. Ocassional angst is good, and here-and-there humor is a must.

Also if it's *really* super good, I don't mind recs that involve going out and buying the translated version. Heh.

So, any takers?

Yes, well. I don't really regard what's between Soubi and Ritsuka as romance, exactly, since I firmly believe that they're both currently too messed up for anything on those lines. And if I do write romance, I always age Ritsuka up a few years because he's, well, twelve. However, I do like exploring the tentative friendship they have going, and how they're both sort of supporting the other as they stumble along. It's lovely. However, I adore the female Zero and Kio, the most. Soubi and Ritsuka is sort of the couple that everyone writes. :|

Although, yes, I have to agree with you about the angst. Kouga Yun can really pile it on.

I would really reccomend you try Canterella.

Well, if you want, I can point you in the direction of a community where you can get your hands on the manga and anime. Ryoma is, well, he can be a snarky little bugger, but by the end of the anime I'd ended up really, really liking him and he matures an awful lot. Same with the manga, though the manga is probably easier to get through than the anime, and the two diverge wildly since the manga is still on-going. (And my favourite character is Tezuka, incidentally, but moving on.) Or you could just, I don't know, watch the really gay PoT musicals? XD
