Jormungandr Wrote:[COLOR="Teal"]Pretty face is more shonen I think.

Others:
GTO(love this series)
Love Hina
Azumanga Daioh(same artist as yotsuba)
Gintama(heard it was funny)
Rave Master/Fairy Tail

that's all off the top of my head for pure humor

EPICNESS:
Hellsing

Sorry, but I'm the one person in the world that hates GTO with a burning passion.

I'm already planning to buy Gintama, and I've got all four volumes of Azumanga Daioh.

Love Hina is one manga that I wouldn't buy simply because the anime bored me a lot. I've already read much of Rave Master, so there's no need to buy that.

Fairy Tail... contemplating. It's printing, so I probably won't have the chance to finish it.

Hellsing, I'm not so sure. I'll go look at a few chapters.

I lol'ed when I read you lolbought Rosario+Vampire. I suggest you screen some chapters online before purchasing.

I think Love Hina is a good one to purchase. If I were to lolbuy manga, it'd be Love Hina and the entire Negima series up to date. Of course, twenty-three pineappleing volumes is a pretty penny.

Maybe try Welcome to the NHK!, though you may be more interested in the Light Novel version, which I believe is completed in English. All three adaptations (light novel [original], manga, and anime) vary in some way, but it was a good run in my opinion.

Gacha Gacha by Tamakoshi Hiroyuki is one of my favourites, along with Pretty Face by Kano Yasuhiro. Though the endings may be a turn off for both of them, they're great laughs.
Midori Days was a great experience too.

Otherwise, if you're looking for things not Comedy, maybe have a look at Suzuka, and Saikano.
If you can find it, Mirrai Nikki is pretty pineappleing godly. I don't think publication has started yet, but it's licensed by TokyoPop.

Eh, I read Pretty Face's summary and it sounded pretty shoujo to me. Maybe I'll go ahead and get it. Isn't it like 5 volumes or something short like that?

How different are the Love Hina manga and anime? I really need to know this, since I disliked that anime.

I was thinking about buying Welcome to the NHK, but I haven't heard that many good things about the manga (as opposed to the many shouts of "awesome" for the anime). Still a bit iffy on this one.

I heard about the Midori Days anime and thought the concept kind of stupid. It's really reminiscent of Parasyte, though I'm sure there are more than a few differences. I'll check it out.

No way @ Gacha Gacha. I read a few chapters before, and I didn't like it.

I've already got the first two volumes of Mirai Nikki (released as "Future Diary" in English), and it's pretty good.

As for Suzuka and Saikano... never heard of 'em. I'll check them out.

RobMdza Wrote:I agree with Joe, Welcome to the NHK! is an awesome read, as well as Midori Days.

- Gantz.
- Change 123!
- Yakitate Ja-Pan!

and... everything by Katsura, but if you don't really like Shojo... oh well.

Yakitate Ja-Pan! is a definite no for me. I loved the anime, but the enormous price tag on that thing isn't worth seeing the same material in book form. D:

Gantz has already been on my "maybe" list for a while now. I've heard a LOT of good things about this series.

I wiki'd it, and Change 123 isn't available in English. You fial. Tongue1


So up to now...

Probably going to buy
  • Gantz
  • Welcome to the NHK
  • Pretty Face

Maybe
  • Midori Days
  • Hellsing
  • Fairy Tail
  • Suzuka
  • Saikano

No
Everything else


Any other awesome series?
