Length: 1 book
warnings: none?
about: A old fashined tale with love and fighting. Its the will to
never loose that allows the strong willed to carry on. Maasa will
not date till she is defeated in a fight.
In the end its a princess tale but the title gives that away. A short story with

Bit cuter at times than it goes to dark and dangerous. I like this but
its hard to know if you'll really like it only reading the 1st book.

manga-ka: Kouyu Shurei
Cata: fantasy, horror
Length: 4+ ongoing
warnings: blood, pretty boys
about: Do you have a wish? Do you believe in the Alichino, beautiful
creatures that can grant that wish? The only catch is: they take
something of equal value from you, like your soul.
Every1 praises this for its art, they look like dolls. It definitely
has too much detail. The plot is lacking something, the manga-ka
has to give you a lot of info for there to be an understanding of the Alichino.
Title: *Angelic Layer
manga-ka: CLAMP
Cata: shounen - toys
Length: 5 books
warnings: none

Aya's family will do anything to have her dead!
With a good story, but it's a bit long.. lots of filler plots dealing with
other people with power, just from what i have read. All the same i do enjoy
Watase's works.

Unfortunately no one knows.. Could she be the legendary Chobit? A persocom with
mysterious abilities that many ppl would like to get their hands on.
This is one of CLAMP's more popular titles. Chi is just too cute. Any fan should
be able to fall for her. This is a continuation of Angelic layer. The ending is
not as good as it could be.

manga-ka: Mihona Fuji
Cata: shojo
Length: 3+
warnings: none?
about: Meet Ran and her weird family of cops. Her parents are always
trying to make her follow that path, but she is a GAL. pretty much
a street girl attitude and look. Ran has an open personality and get

interesting. This is not really something i could see a guy liking.

conflicts but still has a happy end.

warnings: mature readers. blood and gore
about: Magic users reside in the ground and use magic to gain access to
there home. Nikaido and kaiman (a lizard man) are dwellers on the surface world. Most

The art is dark and gritty, so this scenes are not as violent
as they could be. But the changed looks of many characters is still
visible enough for ppl who are weak of stomach to stay away.

Cata: shounen - fighting
Length: 42 books
warnings: violences, nudity
about: The story of Son Goku from the Chinese story of Saiyuki. Follow Goku as
he trains to becomes stronger under many sensei and meet new friends and foes.
A battle of good and evil over dragonball that can grant your wish.
The fights are a bit long but its to be expected with a series that becomes that
popular while its running in Japan. Toriyama does a nice job at keeping the
relationship there and the growth of his characters.

Cata: Music
Length: 11 books

perfection.
She can't see without her glasses.. The professor is a lonely old guy who makes and

you get everything he it about.

Cata: shonen - end of world
Length: 7+?
warnings: blood and gore
about: In a world were the last of the people are dead or on their way.
Enoa and Hana are of the lucky born with natural anti-bodies, but that
may not be that good of a gift. Those still alive want them for the
cure and even if they run, what difference does it make. Human kind
is going the way of the dinos and they have what could save it.
Definitely something I will not finish or even read more than vol. 1.
Dull for my taste. Though the art is life-like and good.

manga-ka: Rikdo Koshi
Cata: comedy
Length: 8 books?
warnings: blood

in-between her part time jobs that never last. Il Palazzo needs a more helpful
assistant so he ends up with Hyatt. She have some major health problems. What
good can come from incompetent help and enemies just as nutty?

bad thing is she really does need protection now. Can Recca do it on
his own? What are these odd weapons called modokas? What do ancient
ninjas have to do with this?
Its okay but after reading the scans im not sure if i'll spend that
much to own all of it. If you really like long ninja stories, go for it.
Title: *Flesh-colored Horror
manga-ka: Ito Junji
Cata: horror
Length: 1 book

about: Kaname is a normal girl or so she thought.. She may be what is called
a 'whispered,' a person with special powers, wanted by a group. She has this weird

This is a slow plot to understand
and not much is revealed till later.

16 year old body when needed. As she heads toward her dream by producing her music
she wishes to see Eichi again. Its been 2 years and with the possessive grandma she
lives with, could it be he has tried to contact her before now?
Its not as depressing as it sounds. Its the normal Tanemura work but it has a better
chance of being licensed than her others. It does manage to loose my will to read
it after a dredging it on.

manga-ka: Sakuraba Minane
Cata: shojo
Length: 4+?

they look into the ring. The only catch is the viewer must have a pure
heart. Tasuke's father has just picked this up in China and sent it home

Not one of raijin comics best in the anthology, but it worth a read.
Light-hearted and reminds me of ah my goddess.

owned and operated by beautiful men. Within is also a side business.
A dangerous one that takes special ppl to do. That's where the young boys
fit in. When you need extra cash you will do tough jobs.
Don't be scared by the gene. its just for looks. many ppl who don't
like the genre really enjoy the title, thats why i placed it in both areas of my
site.

worst class in school history. They already got rid of 3 teachers in the

orphan and now he's gonna have 5 moms! They just happen to all be his teachers

I don't really care for this. Maybe the subject has gone though too much overkill
..too many like this. Try Love Hina instead.

Cata: shonen - Go

this few pass and the rest must wait till the year year to try again. Will

happened? Tanpop vows to become his friend no matter how hard it may be.
Good story and characters. Not all are the same look of previous works.
Its a nice love story but the end seams to be lacking.

the demons follow her. She looks like a dead priestess who protected a very
important jewel. This little thing could make and demon more powerful than any.
Could Kagome have this? Why now does she have to journey with Inu Yasha,

Its really long and hard to summarize without too many spoilers..sorry, but its
too well know to not have heard them before.

his side is the laud-mouthed lady loven' bird, Kir. To steal the riches of the world Jing

Not one of my favorite titles, but it has an odd style to it filled with strange creatures
to make it different.

Length: 80+ ongoing
warnings: violence
about: The story starts in England with Jonothan Jostar, nicknamed Jojo, and Dio
Brando. Destined to be enemies for many generations to come. Jojo's bloodline has
the power to defeat Dio, but it that possible when he keeps evolving? It all that
started with that harmless mask that seek blood.
Very long but its made up of many different story arcs and each gets further into
the masks and their origins. The story most are familiar with would be #3 + 6 dealing
with the stands which is whats animated.
Title: *Juline
manga-ka:
Cata: shojo - fighting

that and taking all the members with promises of strength. Not only are the items
gone but so are members of each family. Juline is young so she has her own sort of
bodyguard to watch over her.
Its similar to the Miyu manga. Seams like a fluffy plot lacking a good backbone.
It's a quicker read then most series.

This really reminds me of the first dragonball adventure and makes me really want to
read more. I did read this long ago but still remember it as a Great story!
Title: Kimi Shika Iranai

been divorced!! Her ex is nothing but trouble so her family even moves to a

him expect greater things than he achieves in class. His best point is his skill

a case he can't solve?
Tokyopop is changing the length, but it's not a bad thing. They are putting the cases
complete in each book. Gets rid of cliffhangers and lets you read in any order. Plus
it should shorten the series, as in easier on your wallet.

girls and teacher. Sana can handle an acting life but how do you deal with a monster like him?
Sometimes referred to as another series on drugs but this actually has something.
Lots a of twists to keep interest and even love competition.
