Ok, so they're not TECHNICALLY books, but they're close enough. For all of you japan-o-philes out there, what mangas do you read?
To start off I collect Lone Wolf and Cub, Sailor Moon, Tokyo Mew Mew, and Gravitation.
I read/have read: Peach Girl, Mars, Ranma, Inu Yasha, Mermaid Scar, Wish, Clover (ahhhhh, so pretty! I want it!), Magic Knight Rayearth (pretty much anything by Clamp actually)..gah! and so many others
I went to borders tonight and checked out .hack (pretty cute) and a title I'd never seen before called Doose of the Pink Panties Vitae which had awesome art but was very graphic so if you're not into nudity & violence I'd stay away.

Lupin in teh manga is so much more of a criminal than in teh anime. In teh anime he doesn't kill anyone, and he actually cares about Jigen and his friends, but in teh manga he was very self-centered and back stabbed Jigen a couple times. It was a fun read though.

I've read... Chobits, Psycic Adademy, Kare Kano, .hack//LotTB, Fruits Basket, Ranma 1/2, and. Magic Knight Rayearth. I own... jack shit. Every manga I've read was graciously loaned to me by a fellow anime junkie on teh school bus, since I am too much of a cheap bastard to get my own.

(there's only seven of them) I'm a big Yu Watase fan. Angel Sanctuary... wierd series, awesome artwork. My sis is adicted to it. But teh local bookstore don't have it and my sis is MAD.

You should see if they can order it. My local B&N has a MASSIVe selection of manga. Ive seen all those and mroe. Im just not as in to teh Manga as I am teh anime. I miss my bright vivid colors. I did see teh lupin one and fliped through it wuickly and put it back. Something about it was a little too dark for my tastes. YuYu looked good, just like teh anime, but without teh colors I as well, saw teh FLCL one and saw a few things in there that wasnt in teh show. THAT was interesting. Ive heard good things about Fruits Basket, but didnt have time to do more than look at teh cover. They had some AWESOME trigun stuff there including <li><a href=" search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=bsq1g73TjT&sourceid=00398551266024027592&bfdate=06%2D23%2D2004%2B12%3A57%3A40&isbn=1894938445&fmt=HC&itm=6">this book</a></li> which at some point in teh very near future, I plan to buy. It tells teh relationships between each of them and solves teh long debated "Did Wolfwood and Milly really have sex?" I know teh answer now. Neener neener neeeeeeener! Seriously though, It is an EXELENT book with TONS of brilliantly colored cells pictured through teh book. There are some promotional pictures in there as well that are...beautiful. Ok enough of that. Just check it out if you can.

Ah, is that a link to teh Trigun d20 RPG book? Sweet. A friend of mine has that, hope to play it someday. Hell, I haven't even gotten a chance to look through teh book yet. But I can't wait to check it out. I forgot, I got FLCL too. That is wierd, not better than teh series though. Got some Excell Saga too. Weird also.

Princess Ai www.tokyopop.com/dbpage.php?propertycode=AIH&categorycode=BMG&page=introductionOk this looks like an interesting manga that’s about to come out. I’m not a Courtney wuv fan by any stretch of teh imagination; however, this has captured my interest. According to Tokyopop.com, it’s about an "alien" Princess whose father is "human" and her mother is an angel. Some how she ends up on Earth and is hiding from teh bad guys that’s after her. She becomes a music superstar after being taken in by an apparently attractive (haven’t seen anything of him but what is on teh commercials) and possibly bi-sexual man (Kent) and his homosexual roommate (Hikaru) teh way it’s laid out at Tokyopop, Hikaru is in wuv with Kent and comes to hate Ai because Kent starts to show interest in Ai. There are character profiles at teh site for teh rest of teh cast. Looks like a good read, but I'm interested to know what you all think about it. I am looking forward to an anime from this soon, but if wuv does teh voice, it’s gonna be a bummer. Currently, Ai looks a little too much like wuv for my tastes, but not so much as to be distracting. Thoughts, Opinions?
