What manga are you reading now?

Ayumi · 10-05-2009, 07:20 PM

This is for discussion of Manga you are currently reading.

I am reading (in no special order ):

Gintama-I think I am on volume 14 or so (such a big series)
Ouran High School Host Club- Volume 14
Vampire Doll- Volume 2
Vampire Knight (love Kaname )- Chapter 54
Miname-ke (just started it)
And a few others.

Pat Kong · 10-05-2009, 08:13 PM

Still need to buy Fruits Basket 21-23. Though if I do, it's all over for it ends at volume 23. Perhaps I'll visit my local manga dealer this week.

Malandris · 10-06-2009, 12:34 PM

Last manga I was reading was xxxholic and blame!

Ayumi · 10-06-2009, 04:13 PM

I am also reading Monster, it is so good.

Malandris · 10-06-2009, 05:58 PM

What is monster about?

Ayumi · 10-06-2009, 06:29 PM

I could paraphrase it but it is better coming from the wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_(manga)

Each episode of the anime is just as good as the manga. There was not one single episode that was boring, or that didn't take the story further.

Ayumi · 10-11-2009, 01:20 AM

I just read the Tegami Bachi oneshot (the one that matches the Light and Blue Night Fantasy Special) and I also acquired the first volume. The anime will be out soon too.

Also read Chapter 69 of Ouran High School Host Club.

Kenshin · 10-14-2009, 06:23 AM

I finally picked up some Manga! I will start on one of them after I am done reading the current book I am on. I got these from where I work, just to see if I might be interested in them or not. For a dollar each, it was worth the risk:

Mink: Volumes 1,2,3 & 5
Angel Cup: Volume 1
Yotsuba&!: Volume 3

Ayumi · 10-24-2009, 09:15 PM

Good for you Kenshin. I hit the jackpot awhile back when I bought 20 volumes of manga at just .99 cents each. They were overstocks shipped from bookstores to a consignment place that deals in this stuff- I hope it happens again someday! All of the volumes were from Tokyopop too.
I just read Fairy Tail Vol 9 ch 74
and I got volume 19 of Fruits Basket yesterday at Border's ( I needed 18 but oh well ^_^)

Pat Kong · 10-26-2009, 01:30 PM

Recently I bought Fruits Basket volume 21 and 22. Read them also, I just love this serie!
I read it once in the train and the staff who checked my ticket noticed it and she turned red. Perhaps because the title was all pink and a young innocent boy was on the cover. Hihihihi. xD

Ayumi · 10-26-2009, 03:22 PM

I will read them Wolfie, I have been collecting them slowly.

Fairy Tail volume 10 is what I am starting on , maybe right now.

Miroticlatte · 11-09-2009, 12:05 AM

Currently hooked on: Skip Beat-chapter 148
Vampire Knight-chapter 55 (also Kaname bias <3)
Yoru Made Matenai-chapter 26
Honey Hunt-chapter 21
Goong-chapter 118

I've been collecting them as they've been released...its a shame Yoru Made Matenai hasn't been licensed and released in the U.S. though...that way at least I could have a solid copy ^^;

Ayumi · 11-09-2009, 03:56 PM

I haven't read chapter 55 yet, but I have it! Yeah for Kaname.

Miroticlatte · 11-10-2009, 01:36 AM

it kinda leaves you hanging...like always XP
but yeah Zero is so emo to the point were he's annoying...

Ayumi · 12-02-2009, 07:12 PM

Currently I am SUPPOSED to be reading several series- I am falling behind. On my xmas list (if Santa should read mine) I will place some more volumes that I dearly wish too have, such as Fruits Basket 18, and 20 on, xxxHolic 3 and above, Ouran High School Host Club, and so on.
I have stuff to read right now like Gintama, and Fairy Tail, but I have been distracted with watching anime on sites and reading and such. I am caught up with Vampire Knight but I need to also add that to my list to own. I have up to volume 6 I believe.

Kamiyama · 12-02-2009, 08:22 PM

My current list is as follows:

- "Flower of Evil": portrays incest; the main female character is somewhat annoying
- "Onani Master Kurosawa": aka "Masturbation Master Kurosawa"; I know how this looks, but really, it's not hentai or even mildly ecchi
- "Anonymous": I don't remember exactly why I chose it, but I'm interested in knowing where it will lead me

I also decided to read "Pluto", by the same author of "Monster". I've heard it's pretty good too. I hope it has those awesome Urasawa-style cliffhangers.

Ayumi · 12-02-2009, 08:32 PM

Have you read any of his 20th Century boys Manga? I keep hearing it is good.

Kamiyama · 12-02-2009, 08:37 PM

^ Nope, not yet. I've heard great things about that one, and also "21st Century Boys".

rainshadow · 12-05-2009, 03:13 AM

I still have to finish off Trigun Max... so close. One volume to go.

Then there's one that started recently that I read the first chapter online via... I think it was TP... and I would like to look more into it, if I can remember what exactly the title was. The only thing I remember for sure is that it's new.

Sean · 12-05-2009, 10:36 AM

Whatever this is called..

Ayumi · 12-05-2009, 03:45 PM

^ I have no idea what that might be.

Kamiyama · 12-05-2009, 05:06 PM

I really ended up adding "Pluto" to my list and it seems very cool. As in "Monster", Urasawa displays a realistic drawing style and the story takes place in several countries. However, this time the plot revolves around a world where humans and robots coexist. It reminds me of Asimov's ideas and, of course, the "I, Robot" movie. I don't think the cliffhangers are as intense as in "Monster", though - but then again, maybe they're not supposed to.

Pat Kong · 12-05-2009, 05:12 PM

Read some Yotsuba &.

Shikamaru · 12-07-2009, 06:55 PM

I know, I've been waiting for you to catch up so we can share on it.

I've been reading book to of the Maximum Ride manga. They're based off of James Patterson's novel's of the same name.

Ayumi · 12-07-2009, 07:20 PM

I have only read one volume of Naruto. But last night I started to read the Beserk Manga, which I must say starts off with a bang- literally .

Ayumi · 12-17-2009, 11:18 PM

I just read chapters 69-73 of Ouran High School Host Club

rainshadow · 12-18-2009, 12:33 AM

I read the first chapter of Dance in the Vampire Bune (V1) on Tokyopop but I won't be finishing it.

Too lolicon for me.

Kamiyama · 12-18-2009, 06:33 PM

I've finished a whole bunch of manga lately, so now I'm doubtful as to what I'll read next. It'll probably be some of the following:
- "Sanctuary"
- "Shin Angyo Onshi"
- "Genshiken"
- "Akira"
- "Eternal Sabbath"
- "Seizon"
- "Fruits Basket"
- "Old Boy"

FalostFawke · 12-21-2009, 10:17 AM

recently i read bakuman, bleach, akaboshi n one piece,
i read some "serious" comic like pluto, alive n 21th century boys,
my friends rcommded it to me,
but i stop read those manga , bcoz (somehow) i dun like those kind of manga

rainshadow · 12-22-2009, 12:11 AM

Recently started Wolf and Spice (which is the basis for the anime Spice and Wolf, the first season of which was only just officially released in the US).

Interesting so far...

Ayumi · 12-22-2009, 11:24 PM

I have seen both seasons of the anime, but I have not read any of it yet.

Quote:

I read the first chapter of Dance in the Vampire Bune (V1) on Tokyopop but I won't be finishing it.

Too lolicon for me.

I almost didn't touch it due to that, but there is far more to it than what it appears to be.

Currently reading Fairy Tail chapter 75

Kamiyama · 12-23-2009, 07:38 AM

Currently I'm into "Eternal Sabbath" - probably one of the best out there.

Ayumi · 12-23-2009, 06:33 PM

You read so much more than I do girl. Good for you!
I read more Fairy Tail last night and I WAS going to read some of my Fruits Basket Stash, but I am the baking fool today so I doubt I will have time.

Naota · 01-04-2010, 10:42 PM

I broke down and picked up a couple and am enjoying them so far. It's been a while for me and manga.

よつばと! 1 and ソウルイーター 1

Japanese versions

Pat Kong · 01-05-2010, 10:51 AM

Yotsuba and Soul Eater. :O My, my, such fine choices you have there.

((Hopefully one day I can read some proper Japanese.))
