Manga Help Me Decide

I read alot of Manga, A little too much. These are my manga collection:

Battle Royale
1

Chobits
1-6

Dragonball Z ( Swedish )
1-4

One Piece (Swedish)
1-2

Love Hina
1-11

Oh My Goddess!
1-16

And I am probably going to start another "Manga Collection", but the problem is, I can't choose which one.

Here are some of my "opinions":

#1. Finish the current Mangas ( Love Hina, Battle Royale & Chobits, not OMG though, still running in Japan and been translated ) and begin with either option #2, #3, #4, #5 or #6 afterwards.

#2. Start with Cowboy Bebop

#3. Start with Cardcaptor Sakura

#4. Start with Angelic Layer

#5. Start with Ragnarök

#6. Start with Usagi Yojimbo

If you have other opinions or comments or if you wish to add a couple of manga titles, you are free to share.

By the way, I won't talk, discuss about ANY Fan Translated Manga.

Thanks for your help.

Ahhhh!!! I'd chose Angelic Layer!! It's any amazing series!! Although only 6 volumes long! I love Wizard and Oujirou/Ohjiro. Misaki is so Kawaii!! hehehehehehehe...Cardcaptor Sakura is a good start too...but somehow i lost interest in it. I do love the art though, it's quite amazing...as always...it's 12 volumes long and i have 6 and my sister has 5 collecting the last one in august which ends the series. You know Magic Knight Rayearth isn't all that bad a start either! I got all 6 but I bought it western style and 15 each when now you can buy it the japanese way, 3 in a box with a little extra something, in regular pocket manga form brought to you by tokyopop for $26 or $30 dollars which is pretty good since i spent over $90! way less tokyopops version and they some three in a box! wait i already mentioned that. they always give u something else. check tokyopops site out and then rush to your nearest manga source and get it! i loved magic knigth rayearth, you might too! but then again Marmalade Boy is way amazing too! By wataru Yoshizumi you'll love it!! It's funny, heart breaking, romantic and amazing!!! hmmm....what else!! Well Fruits Basket is beyond amazing!! But it's in japanese only but heck that ain't stoppin me! the anime is great too! the series is wicked funny, serious, loving and wise!! heehee i got so much to say and recommd!!!! hhhmmmm....Dragon Knights isn't a bad series either! it's confusing at first but it's wicked funny the serious then loving then funny!! all moshed together to create a wicked a$$ kickin series!! heeehee...check them out!!

 

Are we discussing translated manga, or is untranslated also an option here? I have to ask this question because, well, I don't know much about the translated manga scene. I get all my stuff original language and either read it myself (takes a long time) or read it with the translations my roommates have done.

I do know that some of my favorite series have been translated, but I don't know what things interest you. Most of the stuff I read is shoujo in nature, with some exceptions.

If you like CLAMP works, I would suggest getting Wish. It's four volumes long, and quite sweet. All four volumes have been released by Tokyopop. Out of your list of options, I would finish collecting the series I'd started, then go for something new. I still have to do that with some of the other stuff I have (namely Flame of Recca....).

Or, as an alternative, pick one of the series you're currently collecting and finish collecting it, but also start a new series. Keep doing this until you have completed your collections of all the series you've started.

The Mangas that I am looking for are all translated, no way that I can read kanji, hell, i can't read mandarin (I'm chinese).

The Mangas that I am searching shouldn't be rather "kiddie". You probably ask, Cardcaptor is rather kiddie, well, the main reason why i want to read it is that it's a very popular series, and there are too much anime series out there.

Another thing that i forgot to add, I enjoy mangas that are basiclly for teens and up.

four numbers one letter and a SLASH..

X/1999....IMO best manga//anime//and maybe movie ever! u should try it n stuff its got like everything.

 

x/1999 is bloody...by CLAMP and amazingly done and Kamui is wicked hot....but bloody to the max. no one volume is without blood. it's kinda confusing too...did ya read my last post? btw they are all translated and by tokyopop.:anime:

 

I would suggest Angelic Layer, although, reading it can get boring at times, because, let's out it this way, would you rather look at pictures of a battle, or watch the battle move!? (meaning battles are better animated. )

But lets see.... *is racking her brain * I would suggest YGO, but I don't think you'd like it... Naruto seems to be very popular nowadays, but it'll probably die down... or not...

Get Roruni Kenshin. ^^

 

Once again, we are talking about translated manga, not fan translated. I would love to get Rurouni Kenshin though, but the manga hasn't been translated yet. I think Tokyopop has got the rights to translate them. So frankly, after probably 4-7 months they will begin the translation.

Anymore Suggestions?

And oh Yeah, YGO? Hell no No Kiddie Manga!

 

You forgot Kodocha. You should collect that first. Addicting stuff. And just to say it's not that childish. Some of the issues are soo serious. Let me name a few. Child abuse. Murder?. Suicide?. I can't beleive it. They're only in 7th grade. Anyway, you gotta get it, I think They translated all of it, or maybe up to 8. Not sure.

 

Bah...

I just dont know what to begin with...frankly i have decided to finish the current collections and begin with Cowboy Bebop and/or Cardcaptor Sakura.

But do come with more suggestions

Well, I suggest any of Clamp's work. The girls are just so cute!Sorry, I usually judje by drawings unless the story is just too good.

 

i would suggest wish, too. i loved it. dragon knights (tokyopop) is pretty good too
