    3.Kodocha
    4.Cardcaptor Sakura
    5.Tsubasa
    6.XXXHolic
    7.Chobits
    8.Princess Ai
    9..//Hack
    10.Angelic Layer
    11.Ranma 1/2

    Some manga I really don't like:
    1.Boys over Flowers
    2.Please Save My Earth
    3.Sailor Moon
    4.Oh My Goddess
    5.Basara
    6.Hot Gimmick
    And anything with robots and complicated plots.
    (and I don't just like shojo)

    Ranma. But it's a bit too repetive...

    although from that list...Ranma, Chobits, .//hack.

    I've read Crescent Moon and X/1999 before.
    They're okay. But I wouldn't recommend either of them to anyone.

    Demon Diary. That sounds interesting. What's it about?

    I would reccomend Inu Yasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Clover, Rave Master, and Dragon Knights.

    I was very fond of them.

    I've read Inu Yasha, it was okay but I kind of lost interest.
    Rurouni Kenshin. I've read it before. I like it.
    Clover, Rave Master, and Dragon Knights. I've tried all of them before but I didn't really like any of them.
    Sorry, I'm REALLY picky.

    How about D.N. Angel, Candidate for Goddess and Wish. I'd put down Gundam Seed but I haven't read it, only seen the anime and ohh boy is it amazing! They did really well translating it into english. My brother has the Japanese version.

    I've tried D.N. Angel. I liked that.
    Candidate for Goddess didn't look that interesting.
    Wish I didn't like.
    And doesn't Gundam Seed have robots in it?

    Well, if I may, I suggest Excel Saga and Saber Marionette J (although for SMJ, the anime is better) Some, I've recently read include: Mahoromatic, Comic Party, and Negima.

Then again that may defy the the whole reason for this thread....Do you like dectective stories? Like CLAMP School Detectives...Umm can you read and understand Japanese?

    Well, let's see. You have a fair amount of variety in the things you've enjoyed....

    I'd recommend picking up some of the following:

    Alice 19th
    Chronicles of the Cursed Sword
    Flame of Recca
    Fruits Basket
    Girl Got Game
    Hana-Kimi
    Imadoki!
    Naruto
    One Piece
    Saiyuki

    They're all series that I enjoy reading, and they're all available in English.

    I've tried Excel Saga and I didn't like it.
    I've never heard of SMJ. I like Comic Party.
    I'll give Mahoromatic and Nehima a try.

    Sorry I can't.
    Wish I could though.

    It is. It's by the same author of Inuyasha.
    It's really funny.

    I've tried Alice 19th, Flame of Recca, Fruits Baskets, Girl Got Game, and Hana-Kimi before and I like them all.
    The rest I haven't tried.
    I'll check them out.

    Clover is pretty good, The only problem is that it gets draen out too long, so I suggest only to read the first 2 books.
    X/1999 was good for the first books for the beginning, but it was just got me bored and confused later.
    I like peachgirl, but it is sort of shoujo, but it is v. funny. the same with Love Hina, but you might enjoy it, it is v. funny, and most people here enjoy it. (just ask user 18)

    I recently got Saiyuki and am now oppsessed with it! It's great! Definitely try it out. Issues some may have with it: TONS of cussing, nudity, very violent (i.e. it shows guts hanging out, blood everywhere).

    The plot: Youkai and humans have peacefully co-existed up until recently. Something has started driving youkai bonkers, and it's up to our four heroes to find out what! Of the four, three of them are demons whose past traumatic experiences have made them far more human-like than most. The fourth is a (extremely corrupt!) high-level Buddist priest.

    How 'bout Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne? It's not out in English yet but will be in a few months. I personally think it's a great manga with VERY good art and it's pretty funny.
