Manga?

[silverthunder]

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?

I have read Full Metal Alchemist - I've followed the scanlations faithfully. I have been buying each manga volume as they come out in English, too. FMA is my favorite series of all time, both manga and anime.

I was reading Death Note, but I didn't know it was complete! I stopped reading around chapter 60 or 70 because I got busy and forgot to check for new chapters. I will have to make that one a top priority so I can see how the darn thing *ends*.

Oooh, Peace Maker Kurogane has been on my list for a while. I really need to get my hands on it. But I was thinking I'd have to track it down as an American release and buy it, so I've been putting it off. Heee... link... excellent. I'll probably end up buying it anyway, but this gives me a chance for a free sample so I can tell for sure if I like it.

I haven't read Naruto, pretty much because of the BILLIONS OF CHAPTERS I'd have to get through just to get up to where the storyline is currently sitting, and from what I've heard it's nowhere near a conclusion. I'll probably dig into this one eventually, but for now I'm holding off on it. I'm straining my brain enough wondering how the hell the author of Hunter X Hunter is going to possibly resolve his many, many, MANY open points of conflict - I don't need another series with the same basic question at the moment.

Always looking for new yaoi manga. :) It can be hard to find the good stuff. I've read Bukiyou na Silent and Wild Rock, but the rest of those titles don't look familiar. I'll have to track them down.

Thanks muchly! ^^ I appreciate the recs! (and link)

I collect yaoi scanlations and hoard the good ones like a greedy lil kid, really. ^_^

Currently, I have well over a hundred completed titles and about thirty others awaiting some form of completion.

I recommend almost anything by Naono Bohra, Yamato Nase, Masara Minase, Mamahara Ellie, Sakuragi Yaya and Honame Yukine.

Though Naono Bohra, I've got to warn you, is often times quirky (eyes missing a la CLAMP, cannibalism performed on lake-spirits on the once, people getting hit before making up and making out, supernatural stuff), it's definitely worth it for the chance to see guys actually looking like guys instead of effeminate, girly versions of guys. Oh. And older guys - like, how often do you see people that don't look that they're in their early twenties or that they just stepped out of a magazine cover in romantic yaoi? And she does it so beautifully (and cutely! ~~~chibis!) too! My absolute favourites of hers are Three Wolves, Fingertips' Love, Denki and Covetous You and Insensible Me. So maybe you should start on her works from there. ^_^
