    What you're asking is really difficult to do, and you'll probably be more confused when you get the replies, since this is a purely subjective question.

    But...

    Real bout high school and Love Hina are probably the best in that list, even though I don't like them (I don't like the cutsy Kawaii style manga).

    Hence the title i will be saying


    OH MY GODDESS!

    Yes Yes, Oh My Goddess! You should check that out, if you like manga that mix comedy, romance and some heavenly goddesses.

    - Teddz

    Not to mention another of my favorite mangas, Love Hina, which is one of the best mangas ever made!

    Well, by saying "Kawaii style" I mean the style of manga which is basically all about cute people with large big cute eyes. The themes are love and pink life. Simply speaking, I don't like romance mangas.

    But this is just an opinion.

    THere are a lot of other styles such as adventure, scifi,... I think Inu Yasha, GTO, yu-gi-oh!, Ranma... Are all fine mangas.

    oohhh! you've asked the right people...I think.

    Those title's seem a little different then from how I know them though.

    Anyway'z out of all of them i recommend and prefer KODOCHA. it's great. I just started collecting it and am up to book 7. That's how addictin' it is. Horror's for the wallet. Don't mind if the artwork isn't to your likin' at the begginin', it get's waaay better.

    Also for realistic shoujo romantic type manga fan's Marmalade Boy is a classic. Totally "dyfunctional" to quote so many people. That was the one that got me into shoujo realism in the first place. I was purely a fantasy girl.

    eh...to save Teddz the trouble i'd be happy to say that Oh! My Goddess is great. Even if I haven't experienced the 'Greatness' first hand.

    I just bought my first volume of Kare Kano but so far i'd say it's a'right. Personally I like the end story better than the main one.

    uh...isn't it Shaolin Sister's. whatever. i've input my opinion.

    Manga Addict...(along with almost ev'ryone else on this forum, I hope). Umi.

    Hey GUYS,

    THANK YOU 4 UR HELP!! :p

    I just discovered that some books that u guys mention r available @ the local library! :D

    So I'll borrow them and the ones I like, I'll buy!! :rolleyes:

    I'll tell u later, how I liked them!!

    See ya,

    :cool:

    Oh and UmiRyuuzaki45,

    Yeah maybe some titles are wrong, I was in a hurry and wrote them down on a small piece of paper, and when I was trying 2 read my own writing, that's the only titles I got, so yeah, probably there's mistakes!! ;)

    Well, a lot of people have given you suggestions, but I figured I should also offer my opinions (even though I don't read translated manga all that often).

    Kodocha is great. Kinda cutsy, but lots of fun. Not sure about the quality of the translations, but Tokyopop tends to do a decent job.

    I.N.V.U. looks good, judging by what I've read of it from the Tokyopop 2003 sampler I picked up at AX. Tokyo Mew Mew is cute, and Man of Many Faces is fun. Let's see....

    I'd also recommend checking out Wish. It's four volumes long, and it has a sweet story. Lots of fun if you like romance, angels, and demons.

    Demon Diary seems interesting, but very much shounen-ai (boys' love), so if you have problems with that you might want to stay away from it.

    Beyond that, I can't really say. I know more untranslated manga than translated stuff, so I'm not as much help as other people probably are. I know that Tokyopop is a decent company, and Viz is evil. That's about it. ^_^;;

    Good luck in your manga search, and may you find many enjoyable stories!

    Hey,

    Thanks for ur suggestions. I just discovered that @ the local library, they only had Oh my Goddess, which few people suggest and Marmalade Boy, and another one, which I don't remember. So, those ones are available, others I'll have 2 buy!!:rolleyes:

    I would like 2 read untranslated stuff, if ONLY I could READ or UNDERSTAND something. :confused: :glazed:

    I mean I know few languages, but not the Manga's languages, whatever Asian language it is! ;)

    Kodocha, a few people did suggest it, so I might do more research on that.

    So, yeah, Thanks :p

    If you're looking for clean, unperverted comedy, I would suggest Dragon Knights, seriously this series is good, but it's unfortunately unpopular...

    Anyways, some other funny ones would be Fushigi Yuugi and Kodocha... Also, Magic Knights Rayearth and Chobits are good too
