I like Clamp, I got Chobits and Cardcaptor Sakura. I want Tsubasa. Read it but never got it... sad.gif
Kihaku
Kase: Lucky you! biggrin.gif Although I think it takes more work to look for scanlations tongue.gif I probably buy the manga because 1. it's licensed anyway 2.I like "owning" it if it's good 3. I'm too lazy to read scanlations 4. I don't really like reading on my computer anyway
So I end up poor tongue.gif

I saw Under the Glass Moon at the shop tongue.gif All three volumes. Silly me, I miss everything tongue.gif I glanced at it, but I don't know... I have to rethink it since I already have my mind set on purchasing other titles:P (and continuing those I've started collecting)

anime_mang_fan: You didn't manage to get Tsubasa? I somehow always see it around tongue.gif I suppose it's popular so it shouldn't be that difficult to find.
Victory_to_Battle
well Inuyasha was my first manga wo it got my vote though Fullmetal comes really close behind
Nizuko
*jumps all over the place*

@Kihaku: biggrin.gif I feel that way too, about owning things if I really like it, but unfortunately money always forms a problem with me. >__< That and I hate to see things get worn down after some time because of me reading it. biggrin.gif;; Silly, I know, but I cringe everytime I see the worn cover of a volume I've read recently or FAKE's dents where I accidentally dropped it against the edge of a table... T__T I always want things to stay nice and neat. Really silly.

Oh, you've seen it? All three of them? I haven't been able to find the third volume anywhere, but... I'm not really sure if I really want it. tongue.gif It's all because of my favorite character's stupid haircut. The mangaka suddenly decided she didn't want hs hair long anymore so she cut it. ARGH, it looks horrible now! T.T

Hehe, but I understand you would be reluctant about buying it since you generally prefer 'cuter' stuff, right? ^^;; This is a complete opposite, really. But it's fun and I love Luka. XD Muwahaha.


@Nizuko: No links for anyone interested? smile.gif
Nizuko
blink.gif
eh??
your question confused me
sad.gif
brain hurts cause i dont understand question
*holds head*
it is ok to think here and there brain
Omakase Shimasu
Sorry. biggrin.gif;; I just asked if you have any links to share with any who's interested in seeing those scans? smile.gif
Joy to suffering
I voted InuYasha, even though I love FullMetal SOOOOOOOOOO much more, my crappy dial up connection takes 10 minutes to load each page. *cries* so I'm... er... not very far... *ducks bricks thrown by Victory*
shrunima
inyuyasha is the only of the pics iv read soo i have to say inyuyasha
Nizuko
ok once i find the site
i will gladly put up the site
i am sorry Omakase Shimasu
my brain is walking very slow today
i have not been able to do anything
with out having trouble doing it
K1ller0fs0uls
hmm... naruto and hellsing are not up there... so i geuss i got to go with other.
Kihaku
Kase: yeah, I know what you mean with the worn covers.. I don't care about library mangas, but mine... and my friends'(for some reason that hurts more)
And still I like carrying them around... *sighs* Of course they'll get damaged then tongue.gif And lending them isn't any problem with me either...
Money.... I was just calculating how much money I'd need to buy all I want.. well it exeeds what I earn by a lot.. tongue.gif And I do by other thing besides manga..

Oh yes, cuter stuff wink.gif You must have been reading my mind again. I thought that Under the Glass Moon didn't look "cute" enough for me tongue.gif Well not exactly, but I suppose you know what I mean. Even though I'm a fan of both cute and dark themes. It really depends. If I look at my "favourite manga" list. On top comes shonen.. then shoujo:dark/cute.. then cute...then dark...then.... It's funny/wierd really wink.gif

Nizuko: You could always PM us to give the links, since.. well most of Clamp is licensed. tongue.gif
Omakase Shimasu
Yes, yes, carrying them around has almost become a habit, because I really like to read them over and over... but sometimes I just want to have them close by, like putting them down on my nightstand when I go to bed. tongue.gif So silly, again, but I can't help it.

Wohohoh~ X3 You'd better wrap tin-foil around your head because I have no control over my mind-power whatsoever~ biggrin.gif Actually it was pretty obvious, since I have been reading every single one of your posts, you know? wink.gif Especially the ones in "Anime/manga Pairings". They give great insight. biggrin.gif

Oh, drat, I forgot about them being licensed. ^^;; Sooorry~
Nizuko
sure thing
let me find it and i will do that
*looks through computer*
hmmm

I just finished having a Tsubasa reading marathon, so I have it on my mind right now..
but otherwise I would have voted other because Naruto is my fav. manga right now
Until it finished, I also really liked Peach Girl as well
Kihaku
Kase: of course I didn't mean it that way. tongue.gif I'd expect you to know what I like tongue.gif
Shows you've been listening to me... All my posts, even in "other" topics? wow! Makes me fee apreciated wink.gif I can't say I've read all of yours.. my excuse: haven't been around as long, but I make an effort to read all kind of threads even if I don't have the time to reply to all.

Nizuko: Thanks! biggrin.gif

blueices: Naruto finished??? how much have you read of Peach Girl?
Nizuko
@Kihaku: you are berry berry welcome
here it comes

the link is...................
clamp scans
i hope the link works

Ahh, sorry for the weird Grammar!
I meant that I liked peach Girl a whole lot until it finished....ie: I finished reading Peach Girl. (I bought all the volumes till a certain pt)=proof I liked it quite a bit....But then I hit a broke phase and settled by reading them in the bookstore (evil, I know) laugh.gif


Nizuko: I came across that site a couple of days ago when I was on my Tsubasa search....I think the links to the zip files were down, but maybe its ok now...
Anywho, after some searching I was able to download their translations...(I'm very happy to find other CLAMP lovers here)
Kihaku
Nizuko :Thanks.. yes the link worked. biggrin.gif

blueices: No worries.. I read your post again.. I'm soo dumb tongue.gif
You read the rest of Peach Girl at the store? tongue.gif
I got the first three from the library and really wanted to read the rest. Just not enough to buy then. I was afarid I'd be disapointed with how the story would turn out to be tongue.gif. I really loathed Sae and Momo's and Toji's relationship just didn't seem meant to be. She fits so much better with Kylie. biggrin.gif
Hmm.. you liked it until it finished? You didn't like it after that? Was the ending bad?
Kenaki
Hellsing, Diabolo, Eerie Queerie, DN Angel, FAKE, others. I couldn't get into Inuyasha very much...I don't know why.

I actually bought the first 10, but I didn't buy the other 8 (or 9) because I was broke.
The first half's images are mirrored but the second half (which I didn't buy dry.gif was actually in the original format...which I prefer) They called the second half "Peach Girl: Change of Heart for some odd reason.


Anywho:
Kihaku, you've only read the first 3??
Keep going (even if you pull a Blue and read them in the store laugh.gif )
It gets really ...um...Juicy rolleyes.gif
I stuck with it to the end and I liked it very much

What I meant before is not that I like it less, its just that Naruto sort of took over my life...hehe

I actually just gave the part of the series I own a re-read (Kylie is so hot!)
[Blue starts reminiscing]
I know its would never happen but in the first vol. when Toji slammed Kylie against the wall, I suddenly thought that they would look really really good together...::hanyan:::
Kihaku
Ooh.. it gets better then? And the end.. it's not... bad...?
If Momo ends up with Toji and Kylie with no one.. I'll get mad.
I wish I could read them at the store.. *feels very ashamed of herself* but that doesn't work around here. Not in the store that sells them anyway.... and it's such a long series. I'd have to buy it. *sighs*. I will give it some thought though wink.gif
Yeah, pity that Peach Girl isn't shonen-ai laugh.gif . Kylie and Toji would look so cute together.... I don't really mind if Momo is without a guy. Sorry Momo tongue.gif
blueices
If there is a borders or Barnes and Nobles within reach, I'm sure you can read it...There's no guilt in reading in their cafes.

If the only nearby store is a kinokuniya, I get what you mean (they shrinkwrap everything!!!)
Fresh_Coffee
Where is Bleach????? 0_________________________0 anyone read penguin brothers? It's really good... I can't choose
Kitoky
Where's Evangelion!?
the fire alchemist
I like the Demon Ororon, chobitrs, and Steel Angel Kurumi. Right now anyways, and Line Hina, okay I have a lot, to many to list. So I guess I just like almost any manga.
Kihaku
bluices: I'm unlucky.. In Finland we don't have those store. The book shops that sell also manga don't have PG, its only in certain stores, where you can't read.
I read the ending (well as much as I could) of the final vol though tongue.gif I liked it wink.gif. And I think Sae isn't such a bad character after all.. wink.gif
alchemist x
inuyasha is the one for me you can tell by my avitar
blueices
Sae goes through a whole lot with a character that is even hotter than Kiley (is that possible? tongue.gif ) That arc was really fun to read...[blue continues to tempt Kihaku]

Based on what you told me about a certain dark haired male, I knew you'd like the ending biggrin.gif
InnocentlyStupid
I've never read any of the Manga up there... sad.gif (Feels alone)
Kihaku
blue: I remember reading something like that.. long ago..., but hotter than Kiley? *gets very stressed*
Oh, I'll have to slyly glance (aka read through) those mangas while I'm at the store.... I know, I honour the mangaka's work.., really! wink.gif It's just it's soo many books... Oh well, I could buy the last volume. tongue.gif

I love....*thinks for a few seconds* Ragnarok the most! Loki rocks! *rambles off about her unhealthy obsession with stoic bishonen...nevermind Loki is a tad too buff to fall under the traditional bishonen category...*

Though Angel Sanctuary has a big effect on me...the story just isn't perfectly to my liking...
Wish_Alley
I'de have to say my favorite manga at the moment is Chrono Crusade.

Its so awesom and the art rocks! biggrin.gif

luciferownsme: Ragnarok, as in Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok?
I have the first volume of that.. since that's the only one to come out yet.. *growls*
I don't understand why the first series wasn't licensed too.. at least I saw the anime.. but I'd like to have read it too.
darkmagicspell04
Why?.......WHY??!!!!!!......I mean dude.........why didn't they put Naruto in there? Goddamn! Sasuke's hot....but .......I don't wanna betray inuyasha...........but then narakus gonna rape me.............I dont know anymore!!! :blink:

Ragnarok by Myung Jin Lee

I like the Mythical Detective Loki also...in fact, if it includes Loki, I probably like it....one American comic included(this is like a big deal because I think American comics should be recycled to print Japanese comics)....

This be the Loki from Ragnarok:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/luc...wnsme/loki4.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/luc...nsme/loki35.jpg

I don't usually like guys with anything within the vicinity of muscle and armour, but I guess Loki gets an exception...he's freakin' awsome.
Kihaku
Ooh.. I feel kind of dumb. tongue.gif
But i was wondering which Ragnarok.. you were talking about.. Isn't that the one licensed by Tokyopop?
Unless that's something different too..

Ooh Loki looks so scary...tongue.gif Quite different from the other cute Loki.
Although I think scary woulkd fit his character better.. not that I'm really familiar with the mythology..
luciferownsme
Yeah Ragnarok that's liscenced by Tokyopop...though technically speaking it's a Manwha, being Korean and not Japanese. (Manga, manwha, manhua....gets confusing after a while...oh well) There's also a different Ragnarok manga that's about a dude named Leroy but I only have Japanese volume one which I can't figure out enough of to say anything concrete.

I'm a mythology nut. I can recite every single myth involving Loki from memory, like the one where he crossdresses! *easily amused* I despise Greek mythology. I would read Chinese mythology, but that's quite impossible in english as Chinese name to English letters is pretty much impossible.... My CHinese name sounds nothing like Karmen, but that's how it come out somehow. I'm really into Egyptian mythology too. *all Yu-Gi-Oh!'s fault*
Amur
Two words: Immortal Rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kihaku
luciferownsme:
Manwha.. tongue.gif I wondered how to call "manga" that's from Korea or other countries since manga in generally from Japan.. or at least many seem to think so. ( I don't care that much if it at least seems like manga...)
Uh.. more Ragnarok.. wink.gif Those pessimist really like that name... biggrin.gif

A mythology nut? wink.gif Ooh that's great! I'm bad at any of those although I'm interested in a few... I actually liked the Greek mythology when I was younger (I guess I still do) even though I don't remember much... yeah.. and Matantei Loki Ragnarok and Yu-gi-oh! got me interested in Norse and Egyptian mythology..
Loki crossdresses? No wonder my bro commented that Loki (in MLR) looks like a school girl! laugh.gif I thought it was just "normal" clothing... He didn't like the series that much.. because he got the idea that it "raped" the mythology.. I wouldn't know if he's right.
white dragon knight
I really loved Love Hina and Mahou Sensei Negima for so far is great too.
the fire alchemist
I'd have to say .hack/legend of the twilight. Or tsubasa.

Yeah here's the myth recited from memory as my mom rearranged my books shelf and I really don't know where my beloved mythology book is. I can't spell any names aside from Loki, Odin, all the important people...

Well, A giant stole Thor's hammer and held it for ransom for the marriage Freya(whom he's never seen but was told was very pretty). Thor, being the somewhat singleminded man he is, was all for giving Freya away, but Freya was in such dismay that she yelled so loudly she managed to scare everyone away including Loki and Odin. So, later meeting in a different part of Asgard, all the male gods discussed what to do. Loki(some mythbooks say Heimdall thought it up) comes up with the brilliant plan to dress Thor up as Freya to get Mjolnir back. Since nobody could think of a better plan, Thor agreed and dragged Loki along. And so they crossdressed, Thor as Freya and Loki as a maid. Loki, for some reason being able to sound like a woman better than Thor(I guess it's cuz he's a shapeshifter), explained about why "Freya" was so huge and manly and eating her weight in food at the wedding banquet. The giant, having never seen Freya before, decided that Loki's explanation that it was because Freya was nervous she was eating a lot was a logical explanation. "Freya" was given Mjolnir in order to bless the wedding. At that point Thor grabbed it and promptly killed the giant.

And there you have it... Loki has crossdressed....he's also given birth to something too(Sleipnir) so he's kinda androgynous at times....

Mantantei Loki Ragnarok doesn't really follow much about Norse mythology... Kinda like how Spica/Angrboda gets herself cursed and all to be with Loki. Mythologically speaking, Sigyn was Loki's faithful wife on account she still tries to help Loki even after he got all tied up for killing Balder and all.
BluesDriveMonster
I really don't have a major favourite but I'd have to say Trigun Maximum. I haven't read that many mangas.
Kihaku
luciferownsme:
You have a mythology book? Lucky you! (I keep on saying that too often)
So that's how it is. Thanks for the information!
Loki has given birth? ooh.....
Hmm.. but didn't Loki and Spica have then three children together? At least I thought it was that way..
I don't worry so much about how exactly and anime/manga follows the mythology. It wouldn be kind of boring if I knew everything in advance(not that I know anyway). If the basic/most important elements are there, it's pretty much enough to get me interested! biggrin.gif
neodarkzero
I think my favorite has to be inuyasha,fma,or R2(rise R to the second power). biggrin.gif i like lots of manga though.....those are my favorites cool.gif
AlchemistEd
Cardcaptors Sakura is really good,I just loved it but I do have other favorites
tec2030
Well, when I read the Full Metal Alchemist manga I know that it will instantly be my favorite. Right now my fav is Dragonball Z. It is lame but hey I am a fan biggrin.gif
