NC! I read Absolute Boyfriend a few months ago, over a day or two if I remember rightly. I didn't like it nearly so much, the ending disappointed me a lot. ^^' I liked Night so much, and, well... Spoiler!, highlight to read.
| it turned out very sadly for him. |
Hana to Akuma sounds very good. Is it on OneManga?

Welcome, Haruko-chan~. ^^ I'm the library for most fans of manga, because I collect so much and find series so quickly. Usually I like series with very unique characters and story lines.
As for Kaz... Hana to Akuma should be there, if it's not, try this site:
www.mangafox.com
It'll be easily found there. ^^
Looking for something to tide me over until Kuroshitsuji, Nabari, Karneval, and The One chaptres come out this month. D: Wait, Ouran and Maid-sama! too!!
Have you guys read the newest chaptre out online of Ouran? :3

Ouran's going downhill is it? XD The mangaka didn't really want to do the story. Actually the story and everything came from a guy. lol
I found it actually cute lately. Yeah, I see what you mean but that's because it IS coming to an end. Guess it's been a bit slow, but she's still doing good.
And I read the new The One chaptre last night. I know some spoilers of later chaptres. Not sure how this series will finish, but it should finish well. I don't see an end in sight yet, and for some reason I can see this becoming a live drama. XD
Except... where would the find a guy hot enough to play Yin? XD I love saying Yin instead of silver now. lol

I thought "gin" mean silver...?
I can't disagree there NC. Mmm... Night. <3 Never much liked the other guy. I can't even remember his name. xP Soushi, was it?
I was thinking of reading Hakushaku to Yousei but it looks very short. Is there anything in the manga that isn't in the anime? Had a look at Hana to Akuma, but I don't like the style at all. ^^' What's The One about?

@Kaz, i know Soshi was never quite as good.
You should really give Hana to Akuma a try  I think you'd like it, once you get past the style.

Ah, Yin is Chinese. Yin does mean silver, I remember.. He's named after the colour of his eyes. And I looked up the meaning of his name~.
The One is about modeling~. I can explain more. X3
Found a manga for Mononoke. X3 KAAAA. Without the sexy voice it's harder to like but it's very similar~!

The One is basically Honey Hunt with modelling, a stronger female lead and more interesting twins I would say. I still prefer the Honey Hunt's mangakas style though.

Finished Hana Kimi! Boy, that was a bit of a marathon read. On the whole I really enjoyed it, Shuichi and Sano were such sweet charachters. Also Mizuki was really likeable.
My only problems would be:
a) The pacing could be really frustrating at times.
b) It had a tendency to be fairly anticlimactic.
Other than that s'all good I think the charachters personalities was the manga's strongest point.
Hmmmm what shall I read next...

Ahh, I liked Hana Kimi. ^^ But I skipped a bunch of chaptres because of my favourite character because they were filler. DX He was the weird roommate.. so cute..
100% no Kimi e. I've only read the first chaptre (since that's all I can find) and found it really cute. Basically it's about a high school girl who has gone to a girls school all her life, and then suddenly has to transfer because her father wanted to build a house for her disabled mother on a piece of land they inherited. Although she really doesn't wish to transfer she does and finds the school rather different than expected, if not a bit scary. (don't blame her, I dislike how short their skirts were and she did too DX ) She makes friends with one of the girl's that tells her she can fit in well with others if she shortens the skirt and lets her hair out of her braids so they look past her appearance. (I like her friend though) She does but feels embarrassed when they reach the staircase where a group of boys stand at the bottom and doesn't want to go down in case her skirt flips up. She takes notice one of the boys because of his unbuttoned sleeves and seems to want him to button them. (I like him a lot XD)
Later, the same group of boys and some girls from her class venture to a friend's house to see her Shibu puppies. She instantly falls in love with the only brown Shibu that no one had bought. Her and the same boy find themselves wanting the dog and fight for it. But in the end neither can have it for certain reasons. (his mother is allergic; her mother is disabled)
The two find out they live diagonally across from one another and walk home together. This was fine until she fell down a short flight of stairs and her panties showed. She didn't know how to act and instead turned back to look at him and apologized, saying she was lucky she wore cute ones instead. Looking a bit unmoved as well as surprised, the boy helps her up and tells her in those situations it is better for her to act embarrassed instead of lying. She yells at him about his unbuttoned cuffs and runs home, where her disabled mother comes to her and tells her to buy groceries cruelly. She hides the fact she is crying and wishing they hadn't moved here and remembers her father. (I think he must be dead from how the way they talk about him)
The next day, she stares dejected at the computer screen in school with the picture of the Shibu for sale online. Her friend says it's a shame that people had to bid on it because they wouldn't know who the owner is. The girl places a bid on the Shibu, much to her friend's surprise. She cries to her friend telling her she really wants the Shibu. Someone else also begins to bid on the Shibu, and she begins a fight with the biddings until the bidding period ends. When she lost, she looks at the user name of the bidder and realizes the nickname used is similar to the boy with the unbuttoned cuffs. She sees him leaving and chases after her. He exclaims what she is doing and says he forgets to button his cuffs because he has to to fit his hands through. She tells him to never mind that and asks if he was the one who bidded on the Shibu. It was. She offers to pay for half and the two seem happy that they can both have the dog.
I want more. *-*

Started reading a manga called Wild Ones about a girl who becomes an orphan and is taken in by her grandfather who she thought was dead. The twist being her grandfather is a yakuza boss, and so she has to go live at the 'headquarters'. She is now a yakuza 'ojou', princess, and is assigned the handsome and gentle Rakuto as her protector. Cue soppy but ever so sweet 'I'd die for you' & 'Let me stay by your side for ever' moments   It sounds cheesey, and I guess it is rather, but it is great fun all the same! Her grandfathers henchmen are all very daft and funny, and the main girl Sacchie is very likeable.
I'd recommend it

lol, ironically I just started reading that last night. XD Art styles a bit weird, Raku is... weird... XD But he's supposed to be so I don't mind.
Besides that, it involves yakuza. X3

Yeah I know! At first I didn't really like the art style all that much but it grows on you a lot I think Sachie looks really pretty when she gets all yakuza-y.

I have no idea why, I just love gang and yakuza manga these days. XD It adds flavour.
And the style does grow on ya. Almost like me reading Ann Cassandra. Hated the art style for a little bit, then found myself liking it as the story progressed.

Yeah having the yakuza element does make it more exciting I think it also opens up a lot of good plots.
Makes a nice change from the usual school-set Shoujo. I like a change from the normal, nice but bland, mangas you get.

Exactly. (although I love Yanki-kun to Megane-chan, really recommend it XD It's hilarious comedy)
People have been viewing manga weirdly recently. More like how they view stuff over here.

I just finished the 27 volumes of Bleach (27 so far) the other night and I like it quite well. I am not sure what to read next to fill the gap until the next volume comes out.
I really like Blood, but have never watched the television series. Would the Manga for Blood+ make since if I have only watched the anime film?
