  Manga noob here! (Just finished my second one! -is proud-)Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Search for Posts by Mnemosyne Report Post to a Moderator        IP Address Go to the top of this page

So...
I have been an anime fan (more or less) for a while (roughly six years). So, I have many friends who are obsessed with manga, so I thought "What the heck, I'm an avid reader anyways, might as well try it." So, I checked some out from my library (they only have like, 12 though), and loved them. My first was Beauty Pop vol. 1, which was so adorable and funny. The second was Sakura Taisen vol. 1, which was okay, but I still would like to continue reading it. Ive had many suggestions (Full Moon, Off Beat, Loveless, MeruPuri, Vampire Knight, ect.)
Anyone have any suggestions of shoujo manga I could read, that is relativily inexpensive (I have no moneys >.< ) and kind of easy to find?

There's Full Moon wo Sagashite, Lovely Complex, Kare Kano, XXXholic, Cardcaptor Sakura, an Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, for a start.

Btw, this goes to the anime forum. *moves*

Aw, I was going to say Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE but Roar got there first. But anyway, yeah I still think it's the most fantastic manga ever. I haven't read CLAMP's other stuff yet but if it' like that then I'll love it. So you should definitely try TRC. Like harmony said, onemanga.com is brilliant, I've read TRC, Bleach and Beauty Pop there.

your magic!

The Death Note manga is quite good from what i've read of it. Plus Death Note is just amazing anyway.


Why have I not finished the series!? Will do so later.

Death Note isn't exactly Shoujo manga though That said, there's also one particularly beautiful manga called Someday's Dreamers that I recommend. There's also an anime for that FYI.

PS: W00t, Roarkiller magic

Hm, our Roarkiller is quite the budding Harry Potter...

Happy Hustle High is a cute Shoujo manga, its only 5 volumes and gets quite racy towards the end, (people go to bed and not to sleep either) so might be worth a look. The art style is cute too, the main girl is very sweet.

Darnish, did I misspell shoujo? I'll fix that.

Thanks guys, this helps alot.
My friend reads Deathnote, and yeah, I wouldnt say its shoujo, but it seems awsome anyways. I used to watch Cardcaptor Sakura, and Ive wanted to read it, so its a good thing that its recommened. ^_^
And is that online scan one manga thing completly legal?I find it a bit "iffy".

As far as I'm aware, it isn't legal in any way.

Well, personally I'm thinking the authors will make quite enough money from the copies that are sold legally. Besides, it'd be impossible to try and eradicate these illegal scanlation sites anyway, it'd be like trying to get right of all the copyrighted material on YouTube or Veoh.

*hopes this doesn't turn into an argument* ^^'

Let's hope not. Then again, quite a few of us are either leechers or streamers anyway, so eh.

@Mnemosyne: It's about as legal as watching anime on Youtube or Veoh or whatnot. But the usual moral for fans like us is that if we like it enough, we buy the real thing. It's why quite a couple of us have the full set of ghibli movies, even though we've seen it elsewhere before.

I'm a quarterway there, btw...

Well, I dont really dont care, as long as I can read it. Just wondering. But reading on the computer never really is the same like reading on paper. It's different when youve got the real thing in your hands and you can curl up on the couch and stuff.

Plus, I have a set of Ghibli movies, bought it for $36.67 on ebay.
