There is no manga where you live? So you have to rely to read the manga online. Well that is all you can do at this point. Or you could start ordering manga online and get the volumes that way. But I don't recommend that. Well give ordering them online a try. At least you are reading some manga. Even though it isn't a hard copy. It will do for now.

Oh have you read the manga of Azumanga Daioh, Angela?


Yeah i kind of (REALLY) hate this country is so narrow minded, if you listen just ONE metal song your a satanic (even if it speaks things about god...)

But the good part about me is that im one of the reaaally few artist on town (hand drawing/ computer graphics/ almost all art in general) I have recently decided to start on drawing anime characters which isn't one of my tough spots, im getting the hang of it pretty quick indeed and it everything goes well and if i hesitate to get a girlfriend to save money i could invest in making at least one volume of a manga idea i have.

Azumanga Daioh is pretty cool, thanks for the recommendation just read the first volume today off work and planning to continue this saturday night after my second shift =.="

If theres any other sort of manga like this that you know of, could you please tell me hehe. Right now im looking into HSD kenichi for some proportion reference hehe.

Snivi October 9th, 2008 3:11 PM

Have you read Fullmetal Alchemist?

Yeah but its sorta weird and incomplete =[ I have a thing towards not reading incomplete stuff, it makes me mad for some reason >.<

Snivi October 9th, 2008 3:37 PM

What genre of manga do you like best?

Mechanic October 9th, 2008 3:42 PM

I think i would have to say i like more Shonen, Yuri (not the hard one) and Seinen. Other than that i don't think i read or like any other kind :S

Snivi October 9th, 2008 3:46 PM

The non hard core Yuri is called Shoujo Ai.

Mechanic October 9th, 2008 3:54 PM

Yep i do like that =] Shoujo Ai, if you know anything good out on this genre please instruct me :}

Snivi October 9th, 2008 3:55 PM

Sorry. I only read manga with straight couples. So I am no help there.

Mechanic October 9th, 2008 4:01 PM

Actually anything will work in this sad times on mine *sob* I don't have money to buy any drawing material and i HARDLY need to express myself o_o"

Snivi October 9th, 2008 4:04 PM

go to http://www.mangafox.com/
click on "Manga Directory" @ top of page
Click on SHOW OPTIONS - select all the things you want the story to have.

Like I usually choose Shoujo & Romance for example.

You can also choose "yes" for it to be complete. Then you will have an endless supply of manga to read. =D

Snivi October 9th, 2008 4:07 PM

Hey! Welcome to the club, Ultimo Spriter!

Mechanic October 9th, 2008 4:18 PM

Welcome Ultimo Spriter And Kiryuu THANK YOU!~

Snivi October 9th, 2008 4:19 PM

You're welcome! I hope that helps!

Phanima October 9th, 2008 10:03 PM

I forgot didn't know there was a manga club. =O

I guess I'll join, considering my cousin just unloaded 7 volumes of Kami Kaze and 2 of Shinshoku Kiss on me as a present. These are actually my first ever manga books, so I'm quite excited to start reading a hard copy for once. My collection's finally growing. *sniff*

And as for my favourite genre, it would have to be either comedy or slice-of-life, although the latter tends to include both anyway, which just makes it even better. ;P

Snivi October 9th, 2008 10:04 PM

Hey! Welcome to the club, ぱはにま!

Phanima October 9th, 2008 10:50 PM

Don't act so surprised, you all knew I was coming. xP Tvym btw.

How many manga are you currently reading atm? I'm actively reading 33 manga, all of which I've caught up to on the latest chapter and have to wait for the next release. The monthly updated ones are the worse. D;

Snivi October 9th, 2008 10:53 PM

I am reading way too many to count =o

Lucy Lu October 10th, 2008 12:23 AM

Welcome to the club Ultimo Spriter and ぱはにま! Wow you read about 33 mangas, that isn't bad. So far I only own about 85 manga. And I don't like wait for the next volume either. I finally got caught up and then all of the sudden another volume comes out. But is the one you were expecting. I hate the wait as well. >:T

Now Angela the last time your list was around 300 manga. It is probably a lot more huh? XD

Snivi October 10th, 2008 12:24 AM

Well I own over 400 but I am not reading all of them at once. XD

Phanima October 10th, 2008 8:58 PM

Tyvm Utada. And the only upside to monthly updates is that sometimes they add 3 chapters in one go. Especially when they're 40+ pages per chapter, which keeps me occupied for a while. :3

And you guys own 85 and 400 manga? I only own 9. =3= They're unbelievably expensive here.

Snivi October 10th, 2008 9:12 PM

I get deals on eBay and Amazon.com ....JustManga....etc.

Lucy Lu October 11th, 2008 11:35 AM

Wow, that is insane that you live in a place that is so closed minded. No anime or manga? Oh my, I don't think I will live, lol. Well I guess you just have to read it online or try to order them in a online bookstore. Good for you! Maybe someday you will make your own manga series. Keep at it! ^^

Hehe, I know. You read them in months time. I know there is no way you can read all 400+. That would be insane. XD

Yeah that is the good thing. Usually they will fit about 3-4 chapters in a volume. And there are a lot of pages between the chapters, so that is excellent for me as well. ^^

Yeah I go to JustManga and I shop in Waldenbooks. They usually will have great specials. If they are on sale I will buy more than four in one sitting. XD

Snivi October 11th, 2008 5:55 PM

I am in the middle of a lot of series though XD

Lucy Lu October 25th, 2008 11:37 AM

Ah! So most of them you are in the middle of. Yeah for me there are only a few that I am in the middle of. I need to continue.

Snivi October 25th, 2008 6:14 PM

Yes I am in the middle of a lot of them XD

But I just cannot get enough manga for some reason XD

Lucy Lu October 28th, 2008 10:46 PM

Well you really enjoy them. Especially if is in a favorite genre you really love. You just can't get enough of it.

Snivi October 28th, 2008 10:47 PM

I am re-reading some of VK manga because it is so complicated it confuses me sometimes.

Lucy Lu October 29th, 2008 10:38 AM

Oh really? Yeah it does seem confusing because you never know about this one character doing this. Like at first they seem good, but then they totally changed. And the story will change and it will get confusing. At least you are re-reading it from the beginning. I haven't started yet. XD

Snivi October 29th, 2008 7:49 PM

Plus there are quite a few characters to keep up with.

Lucy Lu October 30th, 2008 8:57 PM

Yep can't forget about those guys. At least now I will get to see what is going one between Zero and his twin brother. And him and Kamane. I don't know if they are friends or rivals.

Snivi October 30th, 2008 9:16 PM

Well I would not call them friends - they are both in love with Yuuki so closer to rivals.

Lucy Lu November 2nd, 2008 9:16 AM

Ah okay, that is what I thought. Aww, they both love her. Dang, I bet Yuuki is having a hard time find out who she loves more.

Snivi November 2nd, 2008 6:24 PM

ZERO ZERO ZERO

I'm not bias 0=)

Lucy Lu November 8th, 2008 10:48 AM

XD! I have a feeling that she does love Zero more as well. Which it is a great thing.

Rena Ryuugu November 8th, 2008 10:53 AM

Can I join?

I have too much manga, actually. I need a huge box that my grandmothers lawn furniture came in to hold it all. >>;

Snivi November 8th, 2008 2:23 PM

I have a ton of it too and I am always buying more.

Welcome to the club!!

Rena Ryuugu November 8th, 2008 4:53 PM

xD

I'm trying to get rid of some of my really old ones, just because it takes up too much space. I usually don't buy new ones cause I'm cheap 'cause I don't read that often.

Lucy Lu November 8th, 2008 8:08 PM

I think now I have about over 100 manga. I used to have 85. I am about to run out of room, but I will still get more manga. <3

Welcome to the club Rena Ryuugu!

Snivi November 8th, 2008 8:25 PM

Oh I find deals all the time or I buy them discounted too. XD

Lucy Lu November 8th, 2008 9:00 PM

Yeah that is the best thing ever! Find great deals on manga. Especially if it is when you buy four you will get the fifth for free. XD

Snivi November 8th, 2008 9:07 PM

Well Amazon still has 4 for 3 on some mangas. Plus free ship on $25 or more orders. =D

Just Manga ends up cheaper usually though since I can get 1 for $5.55 and the rest are discounted plus free ship. =D New manga is pretty. *_*

Rena Ryuugu November 8th, 2008 9:22 PM

I always try to find sales but fail. I'm not a smart shopper.

And it's so easy to get caught up. Like I go to a store to get the next volume of a series and leave with like ten new ones xD; I'm pathetic.

Snivi November 8th, 2008 9:26 PM

XD! Borders sometimes has a buy 4 get the 5th free sale on manga.

Rena Ryuugu November 8th, 2008 9:33 PM

The closest Borders to where I live is hours away. -_-"

I live sort of close to Barnes & Noble. Sometimes they have it, but not often.

Snivi November 8th, 2008 9:36 PM

I have never seen them have a sale.

Rena Ryuugu November 8th, 2008 9:38 PM

Exactly! Not often. I believe that they usually start around the holidays. Probably in November it'll start up.

Snivi November 8th, 2008 9:44 PM

Well it is November so it should be soon then.

Rena Ryuugu November 9th, 2008 6:49 PM

Hopefully!

I'M SO EXCITED.
THE HIGURASHI MANGA IS GOING TO BE RELEASED IN ENGLISH SOON.

:3

^excited face?

Snivi November 9th, 2008 7:02 PM

Speaking of manga - Anne Freaks is a freaky cool manga and is only 4 volumes. *owns it*

Rena Ryuugu November 9th, 2008 7:10 PM

What is it about?

It sounds good.

Line is extremely good too. And it's only one volume. (Just finished it xD)

Snivi November 9th, 2008 8:09 PM

*copy paste*

From Publishers Weekly
This manga might be one of the most disturbing and violent comics seen in recent years. It's also a very addictive story, with moments of surprising tenderness. Anna Freaks is a girl who shows up whenever a schoolboy has committed a murder. The book opens with a boy named Yuri who has just killed his mother, trying to bury the corpse, announcing how dark the story is going to be right away. Anna becomes a mentor to Yuri and another boy, Mitsuba, and the trio starts a teenage outlaw gang. Kotegawa focuses on the three characters' emotional lives. Much time is spent on the way the kids react to their violent acts, with a chaotic mixture of guilt, exhilaration and fearfulness. The characters' humanity is never put on hold for easy sensationalism. Most of the book is illustrated cleanly and simply. Kotegawa makes it easy for the eye to follow all the action and the panels, never succumbing to overcrowding even in the most horrific sequences. She draws the characters in the deformed "cutesy" way used to signal extreme emotion in manga, a further testament to her desire to show all sides of the characters, from the lightest to the darkest.

Rena Ryuugu November 9th, 2008 8:23 PM

It sounds really good, actually.

I like teh scary ones.

Snivi November 9th, 2008 9:06 PM

Yeah well that is why I recommend that one for you.

Oh an anime note you would like this:


RED GARDEN
Synopsis
Strange suicides have been taking place in New York. One day, four girls from the same high school wake up in the morning feeling tired and dizzy and not being able to remember anything about the previous night. In school, they find out that one of their classmates has committed suicide. School is canceled for the rest of the day, but instead of going home, the girls are drawn to a park by butterflies only they can see. Suddenly a man and a woman approach the girls, telling them that they all died the previous night. (Source: ANN)

Rena Ryuugu November 10th, 2008 11:52 AM

I saw an episode of Red Garden I think!

Dubbed, though. D:

Snivi November 10th, 2008 5:45 PM

Red Garden was awesome. I watched it subbed of course. If you need help finding it just ask. XD

Rena Ryuugu November 10th, 2008 6:17 PM

I believe I loved the character style. Everyone was very elongated and elegant lyk a bishie! . <-- not all I think about.
:3

I think I'm going to start watching all my anime subbed. Because the Higurashi dub made me cry!

Snivi November 10th, 2008 6:41 PM

Well subbed sticks to the original story line. Dubs sometimes change what is said ;_;

Rena Ryuugu November 10th, 2008 8:25 PM

And somehow the people who dub it ususally get the worst person to play the role.

RIKA'S VOICE IS SO HORRIBLE IN THE ENGLISH ONE. D:

Snivi November 11th, 2008 12:20 AM

That is usually my issue with dubs! The voices are horrible!!

Rena Ryuugu November 11th, 2008 9:02 AM

And it's usually only one or two characters whose voices are off. Sometimes they're pretty good, minus the occasional really deep voice for a little kid. ;-;

Snivi November 11th, 2008 1:07 PM

I hated Edward Elric's voice and most people love it so I may be too picky. XD

Lucy Lu November 15th, 2008 9:23 AM

Yeah I actually like dub and subs. But I always know the subs are better. Because it is from Japan and they got great actors. Sometimes though the dubs are pretty good. Sometimes they are not. It is a a 50/50 on that one.

Oh man, I haven't read anything in awhile I been busy with other stuff. I promise I will get around to reading them again. It is just I got things going on right now.

Snivi November 15th, 2008 9:33 AM

I don't watch dubs at all what so ever anymore. I got so used to subs XD

Rena Ryuugu November 15th, 2008 9:39 AM

I'm trying to find a translated version of the Lucky Star comics. No luck D:

Edit: Found it :3

Lucy Lu November 15th, 2008 10:28 AM

Yeah I am 50/50 on subs and dubs right now. I watch subs and dubs, but most of the time I will watch subs. There is nothing wrong sticking with one thing. If you are used to it, good for you. ^^

Yay, I am glad you found the translated Lucky Start comics, Rena. ^^ I bet they were hard to find, huh?

Snivi November 15th, 2008 10:39 AM

Well I like the voices better XDDDDD

Rena Ryuugu November 15th, 2008 10:57 AM

I like subs better~ The voices are better 90% of the time. And sometimes the dubbed versions leave things out entirely!

And yes, it was hard to find~ :3
It's only the first 17 chapters, but nyuuu

Snivi November 15th, 2008 7:23 PM

Probably the most butchered dub was CCS!

Rena Ryuugu November 15th, 2008 8:42 PM

AUGH. Yes. It definitely is the worst I've ever seen. They even changed the title of the show. Lykwtffz ;-;

Snivi November 15th, 2008 8:45 PM

Yeah. The original is so good though!!!

Lucy Lu November 16th, 2008 12:26 AM

Yes that was a disaster. Yeah for one thing, they changed the title of the show. And then they mixed up all the episodes. At one point I thought I was watching episode 1 but really I watched episode 8. And I think they skipped a lot as well. I really want to see the sub version. But as of right now, I don't have the time.

But I do agree with you guys there. *nods*

Snivi November 16th, 2008 12:29 AM

Anyone read any new mangas recently?

Rena Ryuugu November 16th, 2008 2:42 PM

I JUST BOUGHT THE FIRST VOLUMES OF THE HARUHI AND HIGURASHI MANGA IN ENGLISH.

:33333333

happinesss~

Snivi November 17th, 2008 1:29 AM

Cool!

I just bought quite a few mangas as well.

Lucy Lu November 17th, 2008 1:51 AM

You guys are sure lucky. I haven't brought any manga as of late. I still need to read the ones you gave me Angela. XD That is a lot of manga. <3

Snivi November 17th, 2008 1:52 AM

Wekk I hope you enjoy them, Lucy!

Lucy Lu November 17th, 2008 1:59 AM

Of course I will. I will let you know which ones I am reading first. ^^

Snivi November 17th, 2008 2:02 AM

Ok. ^_^

I am reading Ceres right now. =3

Lucy Lu November 17th, 2008 2:19 AM

That is a pretty good one. It is by the same person who did Absolute Boyfriend and Fushgi Yuugi. I love her work.

Snivi November 17th, 2008 2:21 AM

Ceres is her best work! The story is so cool! ^^

Lucy Lu November 17th, 2008 2:33 AM

Whoa, that is cool. I wonder if the manga is better than the anime. Because I watch some of the anime. And I have a feeling that the manga is better.

Snivi November 17th, 2008 3:02 AM

Well I watched the anime and I will let you know when I am done with the manga. XD

Lucy Lu November 19th, 2008 1:20 PM

I think I own a DVD set of Ceres. It is called Ceres Celestial Legend: Reincarnation Collector's Edition Vol 1. So I got the first twelve episodes, I believe. I like it. I wish I could get the rest though. And you send me a few of the manga. =D Pretty happy about that. ^^ Thanks again!

Snivi November 19th, 2008 1:23 PM

Well it would be easy if you decided to collect it. Its only 14 volumes. It would just take a while.

Toto November 19th, 2008 5:04 PM

What is a manga you love that is not that well known?

Lucy Lu November 19th, 2008 10:58 PM

Oh is that all. That isn't that bad, but like you said it will take a while. Because for me it takes time for me to get all the volumes of a title. Not to mention if the manga is out of print. But it isn't, so that is good.

Quote:

Well unfortunately, I can't think of any because most of all the manga I love is well known. But I do like that one with the girl who got a crush on her friend. And she gets nosebleeds and think dirty thoughts when he is around. XD I am so hoping someone will continue that. I can't think of the name of the top of my head.

Snivi November 19th, 2008 11:00 PM

That sounds like a funny one. xD

Lucy Lu November 19th, 2008 11:46 PM

I found out what it is!! It is called "Pheromomania Syndrome - Symptoms of a Girl's Delusions". That is is the one I was talking about. :3 I loved it, but right now I think I only read 2 chapters. D:

http://myanimelist.net/manga/5901/Pheromomania_Syndrome_-_Symptoms_of_a_Girls_Delusions

Snivi November 20th, 2008 1:17 AM

Oh I think I originally showed you that one =o

Mew-Mewwer1 November 20th, 2008 2:20 AM

I don't read manga, i draw it!

Snivi November 20th, 2008 2:39 AM

Please do not post if you are not joining this club.

Yes you did! ^^ I remember you showed me and then I downloaded the two chapters. And man...I wish they continue because it is very, very good. >_<

Snivi November 21st, 2008 2:36 AM

I ended up not liking that manga but I am glad you like it! ^^

Lucy Lu November 22nd, 2008 8:31 PM

Ah okay. That is fine. ^^ Well I hope one of those days, someone will continue. Or they bring it over here.

Snivi November 22nd, 2008 8:34 PM

I hope so too. Are you reading BxB Brothers?

Lucy Lu November 22nd, 2008 9:05 PM

Oh not right now. I need to put that in my list of manga I am going to read this week. I added Ceres, I Hate You More Than Everythng!, and the rest of LoveCom 6.

Snivi November 22nd, 2008 9:14 PM

LoveCom is up to Volume 8 already. They sure are releasing it fast. xD

Lucy Lu November 22nd, 2008 9:35 PM

Yeah they are! I wish they were faster before. XD Yeah I thought all the manga you gave me, I will read a few titles at a time. So that is Part 1 of my list. ^^
